Winter<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong> gymnastics, coached by Sue Bone and assisted<br />
by Keri Betts (’05), had a very successful season. Coach<br />
Bone said, “The girls achieved many goals and improved<br />
throughout the season. They took second place at our home<br />
meet, third place at Miamisburg, second at the CCD invitational,<br />
second at the Turpin High Invitational, and they<br />
placed second for the runner-up trophy at the Anderson High<br />
<strong>School</strong> championship meet. There were a lot of ribbons and<br />
medals for the girls throughout the season. Reena SenGupta<br />
and Tamara Karram consistently placed in the top three.”<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong> Athletic Director<br />
Roger Schnirring reported,<br />
“The Middle <strong>School</strong> boys A basketball<br />
team had a tough year,<br />
plagued by the injury bug and a<br />
tough MVC A division this basketball<br />
season. They had impressive<br />
wins over Summit and Cincinnati<br />
Christian, and they were able<br />
to upset New Miami in the first<br />
round of the MVC tournament.<br />
The team was led by a great group<br />
of eighth graders and Roderick<br />
McFarland (pictured) led the team<br />
averaging 10 points. The boys<br />
were coached by Ed Wiseman and<br />
Bob Kirsch.<br />
“The boys B basketball team<br />
and Coach John Krauss had high<br />
expectations for the season and<br />
they delivered. They beat every<br />
team on their schedule at least<br />
once, including league rivals<br />
North College Hill and CHCA.<br />
The team advanced to the semifinals<br />
of the MVC tournament and finished the season with an<br />
impressive 12-3 record. Coach Krauss attributes the successful<br />
season to a great team effort and commitment by the players<br />
with everyone understanding his role on the team.<br />
“The boys C team finished the year with an outstanding<br />
record of 10-4 and a third place finish in the MVC Tournament.<br />
Jackson Callow and Ike Lanier provided steady play<br />
and great leadership to go along with Turner Anderson’s ability<br />
to hit a 3-point shot from downtown, made the C team<br />
exciting to watch. The C team was coached by Craig Young.”<br />
The Middle <strong>School</strong> girls basketball team had a terrific<br />
regular season, finishing with 9 wins and 4 losses, including<br />
two wins against CHCA. The team received a fifth seed in the<br />
post-season tournament, which ended with a close game versus<br />
Cincinnati Christian. Alexis Lindsay and Lauren Weems<br />
were co-captains, and Lauren led the team averaging over 15<br />
points per game. Marissa Fernandez was Head Coach, Linda<br />
Clark was Assistant Coach, and Sally Leyman was Scorekeeper/Assistant.<br />

“Middle <strong>School</strong> tennis had a young team this year that<br />
played a tough schedule filled with traditional powerhouses,”<br />
said Brian Wabler, who co-coached with Russell White.<br />
“The team record was 4-8, with major wins against CHCA,<br />
Mariemont, Summit, and CCDS. The team played hard and<br />
improved a great deal over the season. <strong>Seven</strong>th grader Henry<br />
Chavez and eighth grader Armand Ghazi advanced to the<br />
semifinals of the <strong>Seven</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> Doubles Invitational before losing<br />
to a very tough Walnut <strong>Hills</strong> team. Overall, it was a great<br />
building year for what promises to be a strong tennis team<br />
next year.”<br />
“The boys and girls<br />
track team had another<br />
very successful season,”<br />
said Coach Craig Young,<br />
who was assisted by Joe<br />
Harten. “They took<br />
home the first place trophy<br />
from several meets<br />
involving more than 10<br />
schools, and the girls finished<br />
second in the MVC<br />
Conference Championship<br />
Meet. Almost all the<br />
boys and girls won at least<br />
one first to third place<br />
medal at the Conference<br />
Mary Beth Young<br />
Roger Schnirring<br />
added, “The boys took<br />
silver and bronze in their<br />
relays and almost won the<br />
4X100M relay posting a Reena SenGupta.<br />
season best time. Jared<br />
Nelson, Josh Weaver, Kyle McKibben, Christian Johnson, and<br />
Adam Buford all earned medals at the MVC Championship!<br />
“Some of the girls MVC Championship highlights included<br />
the following: eighth graders Alexis Lyndsey and Sarah Salter<br />
were triple medalists. Alexis won two gold and a silver while<br />
achieving one personal best and tying another. <strong>Seven</strong>th graders<br />
Alayna Choo and Montana Reilly each won a gold medal<br />
with Alayna’s in long jump and Montana’s in the 1600M run.<br />
We have always coached with an emphasis on team (overall<br />
and relays) for both boys and girls and we are very pleased<br />
with the team spirit, effort and results.”<br />
Lacrosse Coach Sally Myers said, “The Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
girls lacrosse team now has six seasons under our belt and<br />
finished this 2010 season with an 8-3 record. Assistant Coach<br />
Katie Forster and I were proud of the girls’ enthusiasm, team<br />
spirit and individual improvement over the course of the<br />
season. We wish the best to our eighth graders moving on to<br />
varsity next year: attack players Emily Addy, Emma Uible and<br />
Sammy Head; goalie Hadiya Harrigan; deep defenders Kate<br />
Hickenlooper and Kira Tulchinskaya; and midfielder Ellie
