MAY 20, 2017 CYO MEET OF CHAMPIONS @ JESUIT HS sistersblog# cyocamphoward# cyotrack&field#

Vlad Stancescu and his brother Andrei Stancescu from Our Lady of the Lake took it to the track yesterday at the CYO Meet of Champions in the second race of the opening event 3000 Meter Run. The race, seven and a half trips around the track, is not for the feint of heart. This is the longest race for CYO and one that always gets the meet off to a great start.

Following in third through eighth place in order: Liam Murphy, Zane Moore and William Shields all from St. Thomas More, Giacomo Capriotti and Caden Swanson from St. Pius X and Jacob Bostic from St. Anthony.

CYO Roadrunner Girls show their style and form as they learn to long jump in the program. The girls made a spectacular showing in spite of the rain and wind and I suspect they had a lot of fun too!

MAY 16, 2017 CYO TRACK & FIELD Featuring the photography of Clayton Smith

The third and fourth grade Roadrunner Championships are one of my favorite events each year because it is so much fun to watch the little ones learn how to jump, throw, put and run in an organized fashion. On Saturday, May 13, two Regional meets were held to determine the top times and distance in all of the CYO track and field events for roadrunners. These top finishers will compete in their finals at the Meet of Champions on May 20 and 21 along with grades 5 through 8 at Jesuit High School.

The Eastside schools competed at La Salle Catholic College Preparatory School in Milwaukie. We will begin with their Opening Parade.

CYO Roadrunner Championships Today

May 13, 2017May 12, 2017Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

CYO Track and Field Championships for third and fourth graders will take place today in two regional meets. One will be at La Salle Catholic College Preparatory in Milwaukie and the other at Valley Catholic School in Beaverton. The top eight times, distances, jumps, throws and puts will be determined at the conclusion of each meet and those individuals will be invited to the Meet of Champions the following weekend to participate for the championship.

The Roadrunner Championships, for me, are exciting because we see individuals start to emerge as future potential notables in their events. There were two outstanding record setting performances in 2016 at the Roadrunner event. Nina Stecher from Valley Catholic set a new record in the 400 Meter with a time of 1:09.46. Juliana Peters from St. Anthony set a new CYO record in the 800 with a time of 2:39.81.

See you at the meets!

MAY 12, 2017 PORTLAND, OR

Parkes Kendrick ran for the Madeleine CYO Club while in grade school and left her mark on CYO with her amazing racing skills! Anyone who is a regular at CYO Track and Field will know the name, Parkes Kendrick.

I was so happy to see Parkes was the University of Portland Valedictorian chosen to talk at commencement last week when I attended the exercises to support our graduating Sisters and to watch Sr. Charlene receive her award.

I read up on what Parkes had done since her days at CYO and found in high school she was in contention for two state championships the same season on the same day! Similarly, at the University of Portland, she was a finalist for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship and had to give up her participation in the NCAA Cross Country Championships because the two conflicted!

Parkes is an extraordinary young woman who leaves an impression. It is obvious, reading about her in cyber space that she has the potential to leave a big mark in our world. Congratulation, Parkes, on all you have achieved these past twenty some years! We are very proud of you. #sistersblogs #cyocamphoward
