This school year the volleyball team and both the boys and girl's basketball teams won the sportsmanship award in the Northwest League. Today we received plaques honoring their achievement. We are very thankful to our coaches and players for their Christlike attitude and for being great representatives of Faith both on and off the court!

State Track & Field Shirt
Below is the design of the t-shirts given to the athletes who made it to state in track and field. There are also a few extra images from the weekend at state.
Garrett Bender places 6th at state in the 400M
Garrett Bender is only a sophmore and he already holds the school record in the 400M by posting a time of 52.95 Garrett has been at the forefront of all the pre-season workouts and does whatever it takes to become the best he can be. Garrett finished in 6th place this year at state and I know he will not be satisfied with that and he will work even harder to come back next year and beat his already very impressive record.
Mitch VanVuren places 7th at state in the 400M
Mitch is a senior this year at Faith and he is one of the team captains. Mitch has been on the track team for the past four years and this is his second trip to state for the 400M. Mitch is one of those people who demands excellence from himself in everything he does and when it comes to track and especially in the 400M it shows that only his very best is acceptable. It is so much fun to watch him run and to see the strides he takes. This year at state Mitch ran a 53.36 and placed 7th. Mitch has had a great high school career on the track team and will be missed!!!!
Chris Cotuna places 3rd at state in the 100M
Molly Roloff places 6th at state in the 3000M
This is Molly's senior year at Faith and her 1st year doing track and field. She has been a volleyball star over the last few years and decided to try out track this year. Turns out Molly had a hidden talent all throughout her high school career. Molly set a new PR at districts by nearly 20 seconds...huge PR or so we thought. During her 3000M run at state she had a PR of over 23 seconds as she set a new school record finishing the race at 12:03.87 and finishing in 6th place. What a great way to end the season and your high school athletic career Molly....congratulations on the great year!!!!!!!
