WELCOME Dear Friends, Welcome to the <strong>2011</strong>-2012 <strong>Fall</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> Season! As we celebrate <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s 50th anniversary, it is great to see the long tradition of our athletic program continue to flourish. As an alumnus of <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong>, I am proud to be on the sidelines cheering for our students and seeing the pride they carry as part of the Lion Legacy. This season, our teams look to build on the successes they celebrated last year. In 2010, the boys’ soccer team won the ESCC conference championship, as well as the Regional championship. The girls’ cross country team won the conference championship for the first time in 17 years, and the boys’ golf team recaptured their conference title making this their sixth championship in seven years. This year, I invite you to become a part of the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> Athletic <strong>Program</strong>. We have established a winning tradition and our student-athletes appreciate not only your financial commitments but also your loyalty and dedication to their teams and programs. We all know that a winning program depends not only on the athletes and coaches, but also on the support of the boosters, parents and alumni. As this fall season gets underway, I ask you to continue to support the Lions both with your presence and with your financial help – join the Athletic Booster Club, buy Million Dollar Classic Raffle Tickets, attend events and meets, or just stand up and cheer! As a school committed to excellence – in the classroom, on the court, and amongst our students – our future is bright and our hopes are high as we begin another season of Lion Athletics. Thank you for your dedication and support. May God continue to bless you and your family. Sincerely, Rev. Robert M. Egan, C.S.V. President Welcome to all Lions fans and guests! We enter the new season filled with great excitement. Our student-athletes and coaches have spent a great deal of time preparing to represent the Lions in a positive way. Their commitment and dedication are why <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> has enjoyed success throughout its proud history. <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> holds a strong belief in promoting sportsmanship at all our athletic events. We ask that when attending one of our contests you work with us to promote a positive environment for all participants. There are many ways to get involved in the Lions athletic program. Consider becoming a part of the tradition that is <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> athletics. Come cheer on the Lions at our many events, volunteer in the concession stand, or become a member of our Athletic Booster Club; there truly is something for everyone. Our program can only continue to grow through the generous help of our fans and supporters. Our theme for this year is the acronym ROAR, which stands for Responsibility, Opportunity, Accountability, and Respect. These four characteristics lay the foundation for a positive athletic experience. We encourage our athletes and coaches to pursue victory with honor and to live out the mission of <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> in their athletic endeavors. I wish all of our student-athletes and coaches much success this year. You give us many reasons to be proud to be a Lion. Special thanks go out to the members of the athletic department staff who work hard to make the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Viator</strong> athletic program what it is today. GO LIONS!
