METEOR ATHLETICS<br />
EXCELLING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM<br />
In keeping with <strong>De</strong> <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s tradition of<br />
blending academic and athletic excellence,<br />
10 Meteor teams from the Lourdes Hall<br />
and <strong>Institute</strong> Campuses have been lauded<br />
by the Illinois High School Association<br />
for their success in the classroom during<br />
the fall and winter seasons of the 2011-12<br />
school year.<br />
The Illinois High School Association’s<br />
Team Academic Achievement Awards<br />
were presented to the girls cross country,<br />
girls volleyball, girls tennis, girls<br />
swimming, girls bowling, girls basketball,<br />
boys golf, boys cross country, boys<br />
wrestling and boys basketball teams.<br />
The IHSA’s Team Academic Achievement<br />
Awards recognize those teams that have<br />
maintained a grade-point average of 3.0 or<br />
better during their respective seasons.<br />
“One of the things in which everyone at<br />
<strong>De</strong> <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> takes a great deal of pride is<br />
that our young women and young men are<br />
truly student-athletes,” <strong>De</strong> <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> athletic<br />
director Tom White said. “Succeeding<br />
in both the classroom and in the athletic<br />
arena is something to be admired because<br />
it requires a great deal of hard work and<br />
dedication.<br />
“This is a testament to how hard-working<br />
and dedicated our Meteors are.”<br />
