Fall Sports & Activities Roundup

As we head into Quarter to and toward the winter season for sports and activities, it’s time to showcase the accomplishments of our many athletes and actors who have worked so hard this fall!

HS Baseball

The future looks bright for the baseball team as we had a very young team this year and made great progress throughout the season. One indication of the improvement the team made was that towards the end of the season we played the eventual championship team and lost by only one run.

Here are some highlights from the HS girls soccer season:

  • Freshman goalie Alice Watson set the school record for most shutouts by a freshman (9).
  • Cat Miller set the record for most goals in a season (44). She held the previous record (25).
  • Cat Miller also continues to push the boundaries for career goals (92). The second place career goal scorer has 43.
  • Seniors Allie Radmall and Anelie Peterson finished their careers in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, on the all-time assist list (22 and 21)

MS Boys Soccer

Middle school boys soccer made it to the State semi-finals this year – great job, guys!

We will miss our 8th grade defenders, Christian Alvez, Kale Garner, Adam Ireland, and Gavin Dayton as well as our top scorers, Noah Johnson, Matty Simmons, Nate Bowler, and Kale’s head.

We also loved having our rookie team members Dhyan Patel, Joseph Wright, and Derek Nguyen, who came in clutch for our team during several games with missing or injured starters.  We wish them well as they continue on in high school.

Shakespeare (HS & MS)

This year’s performance at the Shakespeare Festival was unique and exciting. Performance pieces had to be submitted, via video, 2 weeks before the competition (after only 4 weeks of rehearsal). From the thousands of pieces submitted, 14 in each category qualified for finals. Nine of the ten Maeser pieces qualified for finals!

In the middle school division:

  • Alex Curtis (9) placed 2nd with a monologue from As You Like It
  • Jacob Keller (9), Jacob Muhlestein (9) and Grant Johnson (9) placed first and received a scholarship with a trio scene from Troilus and Cressida, which was chosen for a Performance Showcase (an opportunity to perform for everyone attending the competition)
  • The team placed first overall with a narrow victory in Acting Sweepstakes – a composite award based on the total scores of every participant. This is the 4th year in a row that the middle school team has taken home the grand prize!

The high school did even better:

  • Ethan Lewis (12) placed first and won a scholarship for outstanding monologue with his performance from The Tempest, which was chosen for a Showcase
  • Georgia Gottfredson (11), Viola Day (12) and Hannah Carr (11) placed third with a compilation trio scene, which was also chosen for Showcase
  • The team’s ensemble scene took first place with a heart-wrenching piece from Macbeth
  • Junior Scout Jones took home the coveted Larry Lott award + scholarship, which is awarded to the single best performer in an ensemble scene
  • And for the 3rd straight year, the high school team won the Acting Sweepstakes, an overall achievement based on outstanding contributions from every member of the team!

Congratulations everyone!
