Awards

In Girls Track, Jada Mangahas set a new school record in the pole vault with a jump of 11’1”. Congratulations Jada.

Congratulations to Ally Lin (Swimming), James Cipolla and Greg Santa-Anna (Lacrosse) and Madison Zaun (Track) for being named Coordinated Health Athletes of the Week.  Greg Santa-Anna scored his 100^th goal this past month in Lacrosse. 

We recently held our Athletic College Media Day where 63 senior athletes announced where they will continue their playing careers in college.

We did not mention the Girls Soccer and Girls Basketball team’s accomplishments at the award ceremony and that is why we would like to recognize them here: 

Girls Soccer won 4 EPC and 4 District Championships and had an overall record of 95-7. The overall record to date of these seniors over the past 4 years was 1,236 wins, 293 losses and 16 ties. They won 31 EPC, 31 District XI, 4 State 2^nd place finishes and one State Championship over the past 4 years. Probably the most impressive stat was their average GPA, which was a 3.51.

The Girls Basketball teams record was 60-35 with 4 straight years as district qualifiers. The Girls’ Basketball seniors also had an amazing average GPA of 4.31, which is tremendous. 

Congratulations to all our senior athletes, and we wish them the best at the next level.
