Over the past two weeks we have had some good weather as well as some very rainy days where our student-athletes have braved the elements as they know we are getting backed up with games. Here are some highlights from our last issue: Our Boys Tennis Team is still undefeated at 14-0! They have also captured the TVL title. Great job! Congratulations to Ali Jordan who scored her 100th goal in a game vs. Algonquin earlier in the season. This is quite a feat...nice job Ali! Thanks to the DS Boosters and all participants who took part in their 2nd Annual Golf Tournament, which was held on May 8th! The Boys Distance Medley Relay (DMR) team broke the school record at the Weston Twilight Meet on May 6th with a time of 11:18.80 (Searle, Hartley, Robin and Phelan). I would like to wish former head boys hockey coach Jeff Moore and former head football coach Brad Pindel the best of luck as they move on from DS. Both of these coaches have done a great job working with our student-athletes over the years. Thank you! The boys track and field team has some impressive wins as of late. They are now 5 and 1 going into the TVL Championship next week at Bellingham. It looks like they have a real shot at taking home the championship! Best of luck! Post-season tournaments will begin a few weeks...stay tuned!
