CYO 1500 Roadrunner Girls Champion Juliana Peters from St. Anthony

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Juliana Peters absolutely exploded into CYO sports last year as a third grader.  She set a new record in the first championship race she ran (800) in the Roadrunner Regional at Valley Catholic.  We were sort of excited to see what she would do as a fourth grader and she did it again!  Juliana has had two fantastic years in CYO Track & Field.  She will be fun to watch.  Note her time against the Cub boys.  She would have placed second and might have lost the race by 3 seconds. sistersblog# cyocamphoward#

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

John Schuler posted a season best competition time of 10:08.84.  When it came time for the championships, however, he was able to shave more than 30 seconds off his time to beat second place by 5 seconds.  Four competitors were seeded ahead of John making the championship a strategic challenge.

Through the chute in order included: Efstathios Davis (St. Pius X), Jack Bennett, Anders Beil and Ryan Schumacher all from St. Thomas More, Jeffery Rogers from St. Anthony, Gavin Summers from Our Lady of the Lake and Aidan Alexander from St. Thomas More. sistersblog# cyocamphoward# cyotrack&field#

CYO Cadet Girls 3000 Meters Agony & Ecstacy

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Eva McIlraith from St. Pius X claimed the 2017 Cadet girls championship for the 3000 Meter Run yesterday with a time of 11:05.15 dropping nearly 20 seconds off her seed time of 11:24.33, clearly a fantastic personal best in competition this year.

Olivia Silenzi from Valley Catholic was seeded first with a time of 11:17.57 from her pre-season competition.  With 200 yards left in the race, Silenzi fell out of first place, buckled up and began getting violently sick.  With inner fortitude, she powered on, obviously not well, and crossed the finish line in sixth place.  A remarkable finish for sure.

Other finishers in order included: (2nd) Olivia Seits & (3) Corinna Hatfield both from St. Anthony, (4) Alexandria Nagy from St. PIus X, (5) Fiona Lenth from St. John Fisher, (7) Kaitlin Gripekoven from St. Thomas More and (8) Georgia Hicken from Valley Catholic.

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.All SaintsCathedralChrist the KingFMESHoly FamilyOur Lady of LourdesOur Lady of the LakePacific Crest AcademySt. John the ApostleSt. Joseph VancouverWest Hills Christian

My Mom

My siblings and I feel very fortunate that our Mother is living, and that she is so well cared for by the staff at Maryville Nursing Home.  Mom dedicated her being to the development of her kids and grand kids and to this day has not let up!

I feel so fortunate that I grew up in a time and place that was so nourishing.  My parents cared for me.  School and activities were great.  By the time I left home for college my inner core was very strong and I had confidence and a very positive attitude.  I attribute all of those things to my Mom who encouraged all of us every day.

We didn’t get away with anything, there were always consequences to pay so we learned responsibility.   We could always count on Mom being at our activities.  She helped drive, she attended our parent teacher meetings, came to all of our sporting events, and was home every night when we got off the bus. We were so loved and cared for!

Thanks Mom, for being the person you are.  I am grateful for every day we have with you!

CYO Roadrunner Championships Today

Sr. 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!
