The fall sports season has come to a close for some Prep teams, but for others, it continues. The Girls Cross-Country team competed in the Metro qualifier on Thursday the 22nd. Unfortunately, none of the runners qualified for the district competition, but 16 out of the 21 total girls on the team set personal best times, indicating strong and continuing growth in the program. Addy Weiss ’19 ran the best time that Thursday, completing the 3.1 mile course in just 21:32.

Boys Cross-Country saw a similar outcome, with around 20 of the 60 boys setting personal best times on Thursday the 22nd of October. However, Andrew Hall ’18 did qualify for the district competition with a time of 17:01. Boys XC will continue to run as a team and rally behind Hall when he takes on the district this weekend of the 31st.

The volleyball team’s season is still going strong as they have firmly secured a spot in the district competition, and will have another Metro game this weekend that will dictate their seeding. Senior Veronica Gubelman ’16 hopes to lead the team to victory over the next month of district and even state level play.

The Girls Soccer team is also advancing to the postseason, seated comfortably at the top of the Metro standings. They are undefeated at 15-0-1, with the one tie conceded to Holy Names, who they recently beat in 2-1. Senior Jalen Woodward ’16 currently is the leading point scorer for the team with 11 goals and counting on her season.

Girls Swimming also secured a spot in the upcoming district competition, with several team members earning qualifying times in the recent Metro competition.

The golf team’s season is on pause until district competitions in the spring, and the small yet strong team looks forward to tee off and make a strong showing.

Finally, the football team will play their Metro Crossover match against Chief Sealth on Friday the 30th, and if victorious will square off against the winner of Glacier Peak vs. Arlington next week. The Panthers are currently 3-5 overall but a win against Sealth will move them confidently into a big playoff game. Senior captains Patrick Bowers ’16, Landon Fletcher ’16, and Jackson Faerber ’16 hope to help bring home the W’s over the next few weeks on the team’s road to state.
