UH-OH...HERE WE WENT AND WON ANOTHER

For the second time in three years the softball team has brought home the hardware from the D III State Championship. After an up and down season full of adversity and big wins, the girls went into the championship game an underdog #6 seed against #1 seed Randolph. The girls beat Enosburg in the semifinal game with 7 run bottom of the 6th rally and seemed to carry that momentum into the 'chip game on Wednesday. After a highly charged and exciting Last Chapel, where many of the awards presenters were indeed prescient and several made bold predictions, the girls got on the road to Poultney...again...and made good on the predictions...what a way to end the school year...to read about the game click the link below...

Congrats to all the girls.

Congratulations Spring Sports Teams

The Baseball team ended its season on Friday with a hard fought loss to 2 seed Bellows Falls 6-4. Overall it was a fantastic season with the boys finishing a respectable 10-6 and second in the Mountain Division.

The Track team finished up at the State Meet on Saturday at Green Mountain Union High School. Highlights from Saturday were Kayla henry's second straight D III championship in the pole vault. She set a state meet record with her jump of 8'6". Freshman Hannah Merriam burst onto the track scene taking home two individual championships in the 100m and 200m races. Allison Scarf was a four-event scorer, placing 2^nd in the 100 meter hurdles, 2^nd in the long jump, 6^th in the high jump, and 6^th in the 200 meter dash. Naomi Paige, Carie Wan, and Jade Segreto ran great legs in a strong 4x800 race. The 4x800 quartet returned to the track for the final event, the 4x400 meter relay, finishing in a very respectable (and points-scoring!) 5^th place.  Andrea Coles ran a personal best (15.45) in the 100 meters. The girls finished 4th overall.

The boys were led by the 3^rd place finish of the 4 X 400 meter relay of Dylan Ballard, Ben Wan, Danny Stames, and Dylan Baker.  Sophomore Dylan Ballard capped of a tremendous season in the javelin with a fifth place finish (125’ 5”).  He threw 143’ 1” the previous Saturday at the New England qualifier to place 7^th, narrowly missing qualifying for this prestigious competition. Danny Stames ran a personal best 4:33.33 to place 6^th in the 1500 meter run. 

Junior Ian Sudol ran a personal best in the 200 meter (25.75) and threw the javelin (89’ 9”).  Dylan Baker ran the 200 meter (26.16), and Ben Wan ran another strong race in the 300 hurdles (49.74).  Danny Stames ran a personal best in the 3000m (10:38.45), while easing off in the final laps in anticipation of the soon to follow 4 X 400 meter relay.

The softball team is still playing. After beating 3 seed Windsor on Saturday the girls will host 7seed Enosburg tomorrow at 4:30...They beat Windsor 4-2.

GO WOLVES
