Last night, the Cross Country teams hosted ACC, Elmwood Park and Nazareth for their second home meet of the season. In the girls race, Lizzy Szynal took second overall, Mikayla Hickey took ninth, and Abby Strohmaier and Callie Devine both finished in the top 20 in a field of 50 girls with good races all around. In the boys race, Tim Rosland, Henry O'Connor and Kaleb Sica took three of the first seven spots overall but the boys fell to Aurora Central Catholic by a score of 22-37 but picked up a narrow 26-31 victory over Nazareth as Paul Tikhiy and Quentin Jarlson helped secure the victory! Awesome job Sentinels!
Wow!!! The energy in the gym for the girl's volleyball match was electrifying! Thank you so much to all the fans who came out to cheer on the team! We appreciate your support and it certainly motivated the team! The Sentinels defeated Aurora Christian last night in two sets, 25-19 and 25-13. Congratulations to the team on the complete effort! Thank you and have a great day!
