Recent Team Results

We have made it through the week of MACSA and ACSI with outstanding results. We began last week at MACSA with the junior high teams competing against 15 others in our division. Both the boys and girls teams took first place in the meet in spectacular fashion. The girls team scored 133 points and second place was 59 or so. The guys scored 125 points and won by a similar margin.

In the senior high meet the next day the high school boys scored 122 points, finishing ahead of second place Lititz Christian, which scored 91. The girls team, consisting of only three members this year, still managed a sixth place finish.

The ACSI meet places more of a premium on star athletes the way it is scored. In the mens senior high meet, we won our division for the eighth straight year, and also won the entire meet. Some spectacular performances as well, and Jared Hanko was the MVP. More later when we post the individual results. Our three person girls team was 10th of the 21 teams in our division.

Many Christian schools around the country are shrinking in this economic climate, and, as a result, there were 32 schools in the small school division this year. Both of our junior high teams were second out of 32. Solid results with many athletes scoring. Jonathan Campbell was second in the boys MVP race.

Today is the junior high Silver Spike Invitational and tomorrow and Wednesday is the Morris County meet, this year at nearby Boonton High School.
