I am really proud of the way our team competed this weekend at the League Championships. Although we didn't win, we came extremely close with both the boys and the girls. The girls finished 3rd, only 12 points behind TRidge for the win. The boys were 2nd, only 13 pts back from the Regis. Overall, a very good day for us, especially with such a young team. I am looking forward to big things next year for us, and know we will have a chance to win the League Championship in 2017!
