December 21st, 2008

Three Wildcat swimmers competed in the Ironman Championship this Saturday and had excellent results. During a normal swim meet swimmers are allowed to compete in two individual events. The Ironman Championship requires swimmers to compete in ALL eight individual events. It is a test of endurance and fortitude.

On the boys side Jonathan Key (JR) finished fifth and Stephen Barrosse (SR) finished 11th, and on the girls side Megan McGufficke (FR) finished 10th. Despite the fatigue evident Jonathan broke five CDS school records and Megan broke one record.

Varsity Teams Win

December 12th, 2008

The WCAA Trailblazers came to CDS yesterday for a full evening of basketball. The middle schoolers started the evening in the lower gym facing very skilled opponents. The Trailblazers proved to be too much for the Wildcats as both teams lost. The JV Boys team also had a tough time with the Trailblazers. Lots of fouls seemed to be the theme for the game as the JV team lost 63-44.
However, the varsity teams were able to pull off the only victories of the evening. Both teams won easily over the Trailblazers - girls 54-38, boys 77-50.
