Everywhere I look lately I am blown away by the amazing talent of all of my students. In the last week several students have excelled and set themselves apart in impressive ways.
Seussical
Josh Cook was the Cat in the Hat for the musical, Seussical. His ability to transform himself into his part was evident and I was thoroughly entertained by his fun and engaging stage personality. Jordan Birch and Jey Bukkapatnam also excelled in their on-stage performances. Of course, any musical wouldn’t be complete without the musical performers which included Emily Cantrell, Anna Bright, Matthew Cooperman, Arthur Ding, Sayak Das, and Rosalyn Chen. Additionally, behind the scenes, many of my students were working hard to promote and assist with the Seussical production including Robyn Du, Sarah Ahrens, Marino Koyama, Rachel Berg, Ryann Chambers, Jessica Carroll, and Zach Alexander.
Collegiate Volleyball
Today after school Brooke Barney participated in a signing ceremony to indicate her intent to continue her volleyball career at Wittenberg University. Surrounded by her family, friends, teachers and coaches, Brooke expressed her appreciation for the role people have played in supporting her as she reached her athletic goals. Coach Hopkins even read something from Brooke’s future college coach regarding how excited they are to have her joining their team next year. Congratulations Brooke! This is an wonderful moment and a recognition for your years of hard work and dedication to pushing yourself in volleyball and in life.
Athletic Successes
Zach Badowi was one of just 8 Kilbourne athletes to qualify for Districts in wrestling. He has now concluded a very successful high school wrestling career.
Intramural basketball is always a huge hit among WKHS students and this year 3 of “my” students were on the intramural championship team – congratulations to Colin Chancey, Kalen Corcoran, and Yoseph Araya.
Last week I had mentioned that Hunter Atha and Keeler Callahan had both qualified for the state swimming and diving championships. This is a huge accomplishment and both of them did incredibly well. Keeler qualified for finals in both the 100 and 200 freestyle events. Hunter finished 5th in the state and received a medal for his performance.
Mock Trial
The Mock Trial team has had an incredible season and they participated in Regionals on Friday and did so well that they have qualified for States! Manda Cash was awarded with the Best Attorney recognition for the 2nd time and Karam Dhillon was recognized as the Best Witness. Other Mock Trial members vital to the team’s success includes Hannah Vincent and Michelle Ding.
Congratulations to all of you for your accomplishments!
