Athletic Recognition<br />
The Sports Year in Review<br />
The 2012-<strong>2013</strong> year in Athletics was yet another banner<br />
year for the <strong><strong>Hilltop</strong>per</strong>s. The fall season kicked off with yet<br />
another championship for the girl’s tennis team, and runner<br />
up finishes for both the boys’ and girls’ soccer teams and<br />
cross country teams. An exciting and promising football<br />
season was highlighted by a goal line stand against Somerset<br />
to seal a victory as well as national prominence in the All the<br />
Right Moves reunion game which was reported across the<br />
country on every major sports network. A solid volleyball<br />
season, and a promising showing by a very young golf team<br />
started the school year off on a positive note for Westy<br />
Athletics.<br />
Winter brought yet more accolades for our athletic<br />
teams. The girls’ basketball team once again played in the<br />
LHAC Championship and advanced to the state tourney,<br />
while the boys team, although the youngest that anyone can<br />
remember, thrilled its fans with up-tempo style and hopes<br />
for the future. Wrestling continued its tradition of winning<br />
by earning a second place in the LHAC, while swimming<br />
continued its dominance in the Johnstown area. Our senior<br />
girls will leave <strong>Westmont</strong> sporting a 50-1 overall record.<br />
Hockey advanced to the Penguin Cup Semi-final while having<br />
a roster of mainly underclassmen, which bodes well for the<br />
future of hockey in <strong>Westmont</strong>.<br />
Spring bought us yet another LHAC championship<br />
tennis team, a three-peat by the boys, while track had an<br />
impressive showing and seven athletes moving on to the state<br />
championships. Softball proved to be very exciting this season,<br />
and baseball picked up a pivotal win highlighted by a grand<br />
slam to seal the deal.<br />
Overall <strong>Westmont</strong> Varsity Athletic Teams had a win loss<br />
record of 192-96 and claimed the Laurel Highlands Athletic<br />
Conference All Sports Trophy. This marks the eighth time<br />
in the 13-year history of the cup that <strong>Westmont</strong> has claimed<br />
this award. This year’s graduating seniors have two cup<br />
championships under their belt, a feat that makes us proud!<br />
