Fall 2010 Athletic Program - Hammond School

Dear Fellow Skyhawks and Hammond Visitors,
Welcome to the campus of Hammond School!
Whether you are an advertiser, a member of the Skyhawk Club, or a fan of Hammond athletics,
we truly appreciate your support.
It is with a spirit of gratefulness that we approach the fall season. We are indebted to the Skyhawk
Club for their hard work and diligence in improving our athletic facilities over the past several
years: visiting bleachers in Edens stadium, new scoreboards, countless upgraded uniforms, and
equipment too numerous to mention. Their hard work on this athletic program, on running our
concessions, and on overseeing Skyhawk Club memberships are an invaluable help to Hammond
Athletics. We would also like to particularly thank outgoing Skyhawk Club president, Mark Hood,
who has led the Club’s efforts for the past two years, and we would like to welcome our new
president, Lee Harvin.
Welcome from the Athletic Director
We are also grateful to Chris Angel and the entire administration for their avid support of our
teams, both on and off the field. The collaboration at Hammond between administrators, coaches,
faculty members, and student-athletes is truly remarkable.
With three state championships, as well as multiple region titles, under our belt from last year, we
look forward to 2010. Hammond’s teams are perennial favorites at the region and state level, in
many of our sports. We trust that the commitment to excellence that Hammond demonstrates
in the academic realm translates as well into the athletic arena. Most of our teams begin to train
for their season long before the season begins, and this year was no different. Summer workouts
are becoming the norm for Hammond teams, and our student-athletes are learning first-hand the
correlation between hard work and success.
Additionally, you will hear the phrase “Winning Forever” often this year. As our athletic mission,
Winning Forever sums up our commitment to teaching life-lessons that transcend the particular
sport in which our student-athletes are involved. We want to win. And we want to win the right
way. We strive to instill character in every season, in every sport, in every contest and in every
practice. Our coaches are committed to reaching this end. So stand together with us this year
and celebrate. Cheer when we win. But cheer also when we lose. For if we are truly living out our
mission, even when we lose, we will be winning....forever.
Andy Edgren
Director of Athletics
