Born in Alaska, junior Ashe Hardigg moved to Portland 14 years ago and has lived there ever since. He went to Franciscan Montessori Earth School for middle school and, along with almost all of his classmates, chose to attend high school at La Salle.

Ashe found a love for running during quarantine and carried this over to participating in track and field for La Salle during the spring. He also plays soccer in the fall for La Salle, in addition to playing club soccer year-round. Although out for the entirety of this year’s soccer season with a broken wrist, Ashe plans to work hard over the off-season to return a better player than ever for his senior season.

Over the summer, Ashe works as a camp coach for Baxter Sports. He has attended this camp as a camper since he was five years old, and has met many friends along the way who have also gone along with him to become coaches.

Ashe plans to work in sports or sports management in the future, and hopes that reporting for The Falconer will help him get an introduction to what this career would look like.
