Blake Deringer puts Pacific Crest Academy on the Map!

May 20, 2015Sr. Krista von Borstel 2 Comments

Not sure where he came from but he made an impact at the CYO Meet of Champions with his red hair and genuine great kid smile as he sailed to victory in the 400, 200 and 100 meter dashes! A powerful runner with great speed and a lot of great qualities that will make him a much sought after high school athlete for sure. Seton are you listening?

For those of you who are wondering where Pacific Crest Academy is, it is in the Camas area in Clark County Washington. Pacific Crest has participated for several years in the CYO program. Blake’s performance Saturday and Sunday turned some heads for sure including mine!

Some 600 coaches help out with the CYO Basketball Program grades 3 – 8. They are an awesome group of people who give an awful lot of themselves to make this program happen for kids. They are all volunteers who do it from the depth of their heart. Here are a few of the coaches I came across this past weekend at the 6,7,8 grade championships:

Paul Boileau, from St. John Fisher, Rick Skayhan, Director of the Ref Corps Officials, and Coach Mildenberger from Holy Family
