Peck High School Pirates score the title of Body By Milk MVP

PECK, Mich., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Refueling and staying fit has become second nature to the superstar athletes at Peck High School. The National Milk Mustache "got milk?(R)" campaign announced today that the Pirates Varsity Girls Basketball team has earned the title of Body By Milk MVP (Milk's Valued Players). The team was nominated to be part of the first-ever nationwide Refuel Your School contest which rewards high school athletic teams that choose chocolate milk to refuel and rehydrate after that big game, practice or workout.

Peck Body By Milk MVPs

Former Lady Pirate and recent Peck High School graduate Savannah Wilcox submitted a photo to the Refuel Your School contest showcasing how the team refuels with chocolate milk. The photo scored the Pirates a place as one of 25 teams nationwide to be named a Body By Milk MVP (Milk's Valued Players) by got milk? (R) and the School Nutrition Association.

"There's no substitute for milk," said Peck High School Principal Willard Roles. "I encourage players to eat and drink nutritious foods -- and always include chocolate milk as part of their recovery routine to stay hydrated and to build strong muscles."

In recognition of the Body By Milk MVPs at Peck High School, the got milk?(R) campaign will make a cross-country trek to Peck on Wednesday, September 24 to host a celebratory Refuel Rally and present the team with a $1000 grant, plus $1,000 from adidas(R) for new equipment and more.
