This week we had the chance to honor our six senior cheerleaders! Seniors Rachel Bower, Noelle Emerson, Emily Loughran and Captains Gianna Kavash, Jorja Rembert and Aubrie Wells were announced on the football field at halftime, along with their parents and family members. Our Tribe came together to make sure everyone was celebrated to the fullest, with posters, banners, mom pins and flowers. Another highlight of the evening was seeing the senior girls in flying positions! The football captains presented the senior cheerleaders with flowers as a thank you for creating the boys' senior posters- a thoughtful and much appreciated gesture. The stands were filled with family, friends, former coaches and alumni, all excited to celebrate the Class of 2024. The wonderful evening was capped off with a Warriors' win!

Saturday 11/4 - State Cross Country Championship Meet @ Hershey (AWAY)

The Fall '23 X-C season ended with the team competing at The District1 Championship Meet at Lehigh University on Friday, Oct 27th.

The weather was great for racing and a number of the varsity finished with their PR for the season. Jr Juliana Trigone, Jr Annabelle Caldwell & Jr Maggie Mead all set PRs for the '23 X-C season on Friday, but the race belonged to Sr Molly Thomas.

Molly finished the 5K in 19:04 which placed her 29th in the always (very) competitive District Meet. Her effort also qualified Her for the State X-C Championship Meet on Saturday, Nov 4th in Hershey.

The X-C Team is young with only 2 seniors graduating from a total of 23 runners this fall. Hopefully, they will have success for the remainder of the school year (academically & athletically) and will be ready for some "miles" next June 2024 when their X-C season begins!

Upcoming Events:

Saturday 11/4 - State Cross Country Championship Meet @ Hershey (AWAY)

After coming off a championship week, the field hockey team took on PIAA District 1 opponents in the playoff. After their bye on Monday, the team took on Haverford at home on Wednesday. The team took home a 5-1 victory with senior Giada Catoia leading the team with two goals. All five of the team's goals were scored on corners.

Friday, the team faced Boyertown for the fourth time this season in the District 1 AAA quarterfinals. After a dominating second half performance, the team was unable to pull out the win and the game ended in a 2-1 loss. The team isn't finished with Districts yet though. Since they made it to the quarterfinals, the team now enters the playback bracket to determine placement for states since the top 7 teams in the districts enter the state tournament.

On Wednesday, the team will take on Great Valley at home in a repeat competition from last year's district quarterfinal game that ended in a 2-1 loss in OT. The Warriors hope to have the game end with a score in their favor this year to secure a spot in the state tournament.

Upcoming Events:
