Chloe Foerster Edges out CYO 3000 Meter Champ Kelly Park in the 1500

Sr. Krista von Borstel 1 Comment

Kelly Park from Holy Trinity came into 1500 Meter with the best seeded time 5:09.01.  Chloe Foerster from St. Pius X had a seed time of 5:33.46.  At the end of the race, Chloe had a final time of 5:04.41, nearly a 30 second improvement in her time and the 2015 championship.  Kelly Park finished second in the CYO Meet of Champions with a time of 5:12.77.  I suspect Kelly’s effort the day before in the 3000 had an impact on her 1500 performance.

I attended the Oregon Middle School Meet of Champions in Corvallis hosted by Linus Pauling Middle School and had the opportunity to watch Chloe where she finished fourth in the 3000 and sixth in the 800 agains the very best middle school competition in the state.  I might also add that the St. Pius girls won the meet!

Excellent job to the entire field!

St. Anthony 1 , 2, 3, St. Thomas More 4, St. Anthony 5, St. Thomas More 6, 7, and St. Andrew Nativity sneaked in for a point thanks to Ariel Gomez in a race dominated by St. Anthony and St. Thomas More.  A great race from beginning to end where the top three seeds were within a second or two of one another!  Well done everyone!

CYO Cub Boys 3000 a battle between Ryan Schumacher and Luke Horne – Who Won?

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

The second race of the day at the CYO Meet of Champions was the Cub Boys (Grades 5 & 6) 3000 Meter Run.  The three best seeded times were from Ryan Schumacher (St. Thomas More) 10:14.22, Anders Beil (St. Thomas More) 10:43.51 and Luke Horne (Holy Trinity) 10:51.73.  The three boys made a race of it through out the 7.5 laps.  With approximately 2 laps left, Luke Horne made his challenge and passed up the leader, Ryan Schumacher.  The two remained within close proximity of one another until the final stretch when Horne took it home and clearly won the race with a 7 second margin.  It was a great race to watch and appreciate.  The entire field of runners did a superb job!

Blake Deringer puts Pacific Crest Academy on the Map!

Sr. 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!

First: Blake Deringer, Second: Andrew Benson (St. Ignatius), Third: Aidan Gratton (Cathedral), Fourth: Alex Guitteau (Holy Family), Fifth: Grant Miller (West Hills Christian), Sixth Blake Schneck (St. Pius X), Seventh: Davis Raz (West Hills Christian).

Makenna Triumphs! Cadet Girls 3000

Sr. Krista von Borstel 2 Comments

After 18 years of CYO Sports, I have the benefit of watching the kids grow up through the program and see the work they have gone to, the growth, the wins and the losses.  Let me also say I am for all of the teams and for all of the kids!  I love the stories behind the scenes and I have to say I have enjoyed watching Makenna Schumacher these past few years and especially this year as she won both the 3000 and the 1500.  In 2014 Makenna won the 3000 Meter run, setting a new CYO record of 10:14.86.  She narrowly lost the 1500 in 2014 to Kelly Makin of St. Pius X who set a new CYO record of 4:45.88.  Makenna came back as an 8th grader determined to win both the 1500 and 3000 and she worked very hard to make it happen.

Makenna’s time of 10:10.46 in the 1500 Meter Run on Sunday May 17th, 2015 would have been good enough to win second place in the 2014, 6A Oregon High School Track and Field Championships behind former CYO standout, Ella Donaghu of Grant with a winning time of 9:56.79. Gracie Todd of Sheldon took second place in the 6A championships with a time of 10:14.19.

Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon Begin General Chapter Meetings in Beaverton

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Chapter

The word is said to be derived from the chapter of the rule book: it is a custom under the Rule of Saint Benedict that monks or nuns gather daily for a meeting to discuss monastery business, hear a sermon or lecture, or receive instructions from the abbot/abbess, and as the meeting begins with a reading of a chapter from the Rule, the meeting itself acquired the name “chapter”, and the place where it is held, “chapter house” or “chapter room”.

The term was then extended to apply to other meetings. The term general chapter designates a monastic general assembly, usually of representatives from all of the monasteries of an order or congregation.

The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon (SSMO) hold a general chapter every five years for the purpose of spiritual introspection, charting the course for the next five years and election of new leadership.

The Chapter was opened by Sr. Charlene Herinckx on Sunday March 22, 2015 with 61 members of the Congregation in attendance.  The meetings will conclude Saturday March 28th.
