  Congratulations to Hammond High P.E. Instructional
Team Leader, Gay Petrlik, who was inducted into the
Howard County Women's Athletic Hall of Fame on
Saturday, February 2, at Atholton High School. "P", as she
is affectionately called by her student-athletes, has
inspired many athletes and students at Hammond High
School. Even though Gay has retired her whistle, she can
still be seen encouraging the athletes by attending games,
celebrating their victories, and connecting with former
 
players about their college games. Here is a link to an article regarding Gay:
