WOOD RIVER - East Alton-Wood River senior Aidan Loffleman loves running, it's as simple as that. He's pretty good at it too. "I’ve been running since 6th grade and I’ve always loved that no matter what level you are at there is always an achievable goal in front of you," he said. For his dedication and love of the sport, Aidan is a Midwest Members Credit Union Athlete of the Month for the Oilers. "My main goal is to get as strong as I can this year because I'm running in college," Aidan said. He will be attending Seattle University where he plans on majoring in either Biochemistry, Kineisology or some sort of Sports Science. Aidan says he wants to stay involved with the running community because he loves it.

April is Stress Awareness Month and Mark Mueller, Owner of Mueller Furniture, is encouraging people to choose furniture that not only looks good but can provide health benefits as well. “Whether you're spending hours hunched over a desk working, on your feet for hours at a time or constantly looking at your phone, we all do things in our daily life that can be harmful to our posture, neck and spine,” said Mueller. “In the past few years, there have been more and more furniture pieces promoting circulation, decreasing inflammation and providing proper lumbar support.

WOOD RIVER - East Alton-Wood River High School senior Chloe Metz mainly focused on volleyball, being her preferred sport, having played it all four seasons for the Oilers. It was her senior season that she emerged as a leader on the court and became a main-stay for the team. She prides herself in being the team's lead setter. Through 40 games, she picked up 139 assists, 22 kills, and 14 aces. She wanted to use her sense of leadership in other areas, so she went out for softball and is halfway through her senior season. For her efforts on the volleyball court and the softball diamond Chloe is a Midwest Members Credit Union Athlete of the Month for the Oilers. "I’d like to think I've emerged as a leader, and I'm wanting to take those qualities to the softball field," Chloe said on finding a new sport.
