Andrew Shea (#2 singles), Ben Burt (#3 singles) and Aaron Saenger (#5 singles) all have advanced to the Quarterfinals of the NCISAA tennis tournament in Wilmington, NC.

This report was just sent to us from Coach Southern - more as it becomes available.

Two Carolina Day teams will be competing in NCISAA Championship action beginning this afternoon.

Our track team heads to Charlotte for the NCISAA 2A Track Championships at Johnson C. Smith University. The event begins at 330pm with our throwers in the pit. Our runners hit the track beginning at 500p and concluding this evening with the 3200m.

The tennis team looks to repeat as the NCISAA 2A Champion this morning in Wilmington, NC. The Cats are on the court as this is being written - we hope to provide updates throughout the day.

Best of success to the Cats!

The Lady Cats hit the road on Saturday as they faced Southlake Christian in the first round of the NCISAA soccer championships. The Cats earned the 12th seed in this years tourney while Southlake was awarded the #5 seed.

The Cats headed down the mountain to see what they could see on Saturday. What they first saw and felt was the heat - a big difference from the cool mountains of WNC.

The whistle blew at 1p and at 1:02 pm the Cats were behind by a score of 1-0. Southlake’s forwards are exceptionally strong and fast and the Cats found out quickly why Southlake had a record of 19-0-1.

The Cats regrouped and from that point on played an exceptional match. Back and forth the action went … Cats score, Southlake scores, Cats score, Southlake scores.

The final whistle blew and while the Cats fell by a score of 3-2, we once again played a match that was representative of our community.

 We are so proud of this team and look forward to the future.
Go, Cats!

The Cats competed at Christ School on Friday in the CAA Track Championships. Our limited numbers always pose a problem for the Cats. While our teams scored only a few points we had some very solid performances.

The Cats move ahead to the NCISAA 2A track championships on Friday of this week - keep running Cats.

Lots of action beginning with the CAA track meet on Friday and the NCISAA Soccer Play-offs on Saturday. We’re gathering all the notes and will have info up shortly.

Go, Cats!

The Cats upset the Griffins of Spartanburg Day yesterday afternoon in their final CAA match of the year. The Cats were leading 5-1 before the match was called due to inclement weather. This win by the Cats denied Spartanburg Day the CAA championships.

The Cats begin preparation for the NCISAA state tournament being held next week in Wilmington, NC.

As reported last night, the Lady Cats received the #12 seed in this year’s NCISAA 2A Soccer Championship. The Lady Cats will face the #5 seed Southlake Christian on Saturday at 1pm in Charlotte.

The Lady Cats, led by CAA conference player of the year Melissa Garrett, have played well as of late. The team suffered some early injuries to key players which impacted their success in the first part of the season. Those injured players are back on the pitch and the Lady Cats appear to be peaking at the right time.

Go, Cats, Go!

The Cats received the #12 seed this afternoon for the 2008 NCISAA 2A Women’s Soccer Championships. The Cats have fought hard all year long - we’ve been knocked down, we’ve been written off. Can we? Yes, we can.

More details to follow tomorrow morning! Go, Cats!

Senior Cat athletes involved in baseball, soccer, and tennis were recognized yesterday during our contests with the visiting Blues of Asheville School. Seniors on the above three teams have led their teams to state championships, earned all-state and all-conference accolades and have been instrumental in mentoring their younger counterparts. Perhaps the most important quality left behind from this group has been their commitment to the Carolina Day School community.

Seniors, thanks for all of your hard work and dedication.

Here are the scores from yesterdays’ action:

Varsity Girls Soccer: Cats 3      Blues 1

Varsity Baseball:        Cats 2      Blues 4

Varsity Tennis:           Cats 6      Blues 3
