The Panthers devoured their opponents this year in the Fall sports season, with State appearances from girls soccer and girls swimming.
Girls soccer, lead by senior captains Jalen Woodward and Sam Hiatt, dominated the competition in an undefeated season. Their hard work and determination carried them all the way to a Metro and State championship. The final game against Southridge ended in an exciting 1-0 win for the title.
The soccer season would not have been the same without the fearless leadership of Mr. Hendricks and the rest of the coaching staff. Hendricks made the Seattle Times All-Region Team for coach, proving his expertise and skill in the coaching region. Many of the players received recognition and awards, including Sam Hiatt and Jalen Woodward ‘16, Laura Roberts ‘17, Sophie Hirst and Taylor Neilson ‘18, and Bea Franklin ‘19 who all made the All Metro First Team. Woodward and Hiatt also made the Seattle Times All Regional Team with coach Hendricks.
Girls swimming also landed some state wins, with junior Cameron Smith winning her events in the 200 and 500 free. The girls 400 freestyle relay got 8th place and the medley relay team got 14th. Throughout the whole season girls swimming showed their skill, winning all metro league meets expect for one against Lakeside. After a successful fall, Panther sports hope to continue the win streak in the winter sports season.
