Athletics
Last year, sixty percent of the students at Pope
participated on one or more of our athletic teams.
Our student-athletes had a number of individual
and team achievements. Junior Stephanie Schappert
continued her family’s tradition of excellence in
running by capturing her second straight Class 2A
State Championship in cross country. Stephanie and
her older sister, Nicole Schappert ’05 (Villanova
University), are the only sisters to win two FHSAA
titles apiece!
Stephanie followed up her fall title by capturing two
gold medals in the spring at the Class 2A state track
and field meet. She ran personal best times in both
the 800 and 1,600 meter runs. Teammate Olivia Fay
(Williams College) also captured a gold medal with
her first place finish in the 3,200 meter run. Stephanie
and Olivia also teamed up with Katie Roussin and
Monica Falgons for a fifth place team finish in the
3,200 relay. The Palm Beach Post named Stephanie
“Athlete of the Year” and Nate Robinson “Coach of
the Year” for girls’ track and field.
J.R. Webster heads toward the
finish line.
