GREAT FALLS, Mont. – Junior Kaleb Zuhoski and sophomore Peyton Schmauch have been named the 2025-2026 UP Strength and Conditioning Athletes of the Month.

Attentive, coachable and relentless effort. He always gives it his all whether he's playing on the field or lifting in the weight room. I'm extremely proud watching him physically develop and mature mentally. It's encouraging to see him lead the soccer team by his work ethic and positive attitude."

Schmauch is from Lolo, Mont. and is currently in her second season with the women's soccer program at UP. Foster stated, "Peyton Schmauch's effort and level of intensity is contagious. Her work ethic and inspiring leadership qualities create an undeniable, and notable, impact on her team. She is a hardworking athlete with an attitude that boosts her in the right direction.
