Darts -
Outstanding job by all at the region championships. We fought hard, we showed TEAMwork, we had some fun, we supported each other, and through our ups and downs, we came away with another TEAM championship for both the boys and the girls. Great job to those who competed and those who were there to support. It seems like we didn't have too many meets this year with ideal conditions for competing, but we stayed positive through most of it, controlled the things that we could control (like our attitudes) and we had a very successful season. With one big championship to go, we are ready to give our very best and fight right down to the end.
The girls had to come together and really step up their performances on the second day to come away with the close victory. We scored 133 points to beat Viewmont (118), Weber (100), and Syracuse (90). Many of the girls teams in our region are tough this year, and it was a championship we had to earn.

Brittany Beecher - 3rd in the 300m hurdles, 2nd in the medley, and 8th in the 100 hurdles. Addie Jones - 4th in the 100 hurdles and 8th in the 300 hurdles.

Going into the state meet it is important that those competing prepare themselves in every way they can. Physically you want to be getting rest, eating right, drinking plenty of fluids, icing what needs to be iced, and doing the final workouts perfectly. Mentally you want to be getting excited, thinking confidently and positively, and be focused on having fun and doing your very best. Those that are coming down to watch and cheer, bring a lot of positive energy to your teammates and help them to perform their best. We will also need to be organized with rides and equipment and make sure that all of those types of things are ready to go.
Coming Up:
Mandatory Meeting - Monday, May 10 - after school - in the bleachers. We will be going over the sophomore region information and some state meet information.
Sophomore Region - Tuesday, May 11 - at Syracuse High. The meet starts at 3:00pm. You will be excused from class at 1:45 the bus will leave as quickly as possible (close to 2:00) Dan Hayward and Coach Agnello will be running the show - they will answer all of your questions and concerns. The meet is for all sophomores, for juniors and seniors that didn't make the region mark, and for juniors and seniors in events where they didn't make the region mark. Only sophomores will score - so we would like all of our sophomores to go out and represent the TEAM.
Junior High South End Meet - Tuesday, May 11 - we will be setting up quickly during the A-day class. I will need the help of everyone not going to the sophomore meet. We will especially need help from those who are not going to the sophomore meet, and are also not in the state meet. If you want to help your teammates out who are going to state, step up and take care of this south end meet. It is a big fundraiser for our TEAM, and we need all the help we can get.
