It was another great week of Riverhawks and Wildcats athletics!
Congratulations to our cheer team, for bringing home a 3rd place finish at the State Cheer Championships in Oregon City this past weekend! We also want to congratulate the Riverhawks swim team on a phenomenal showing at the District Swim Meet in LaGrande this past weekend! Shoutout to Lydia DiGennaro for bringing home a pair of district championships (50 free and 100 free), along with Michael Cole for qualifying in the 50 free and 100 free, Skyler Coburn for qualifying in the 100 free and 200 IM, and to our Boys 200 and 400 free relay teams consisting of Carter Randall, Everest Lenardson, Skyler Coburn and Michael Cole! The entire team performed extremely well and we are excited to see what the State Meet this weekend in Hillsboro brings for Riverhawks Swim!
Boys and Girls varsity basketball are both still in the hunt for a postseason berth, and our MS Girls basketball teams continue to rack up wins, supported by our first-year MS Cheer squad! MS wrestling had a great week in Stevenson, with 7 medalists!
