Conference, Millrose, & Back to School

Hey everyone! Sorry I have not blogged in a while, but with Christmas everything was a little crazy. There is so much going on in UC, so let me catch you up on all the exciting things happening.

School was let out for Christmas break on Friday the 21st. Christmas was awesome. As much as I love school at UC it was great to be off from school for a little while. My family had a party practically every night during the break, because a lot of out-of-town relatives were visiting during the holidays. It was pretty crazy, but it was great to see all of my family again.

As for news in the school, the 4x400 meter relay team qualified for the prestigious Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden on February 1st. This is the first time in school history that members of our track team qualified for this event. The members of the relay team are Mike Suarez (’08), Shariff Stubbs (’09), Ryan Kilkenny (’08), and Garrett Ellis (’08). Being a part of the track team it means a lot to me to see the hard work that these guys put in at practice everyday pay off.

As for the rest of the track team, we are competing in the Mountain Valley Conference Championships tomorrow. The boys’ team is defending champions for 2 years in a row. As for the girls team, they are defending their title for the first time. We are all looking good at practice, and I think that we are going to run well. UC is still very busy with athletics and academics. Getting back into the groove of waking up early is tough, but so far getting back to school has been good.
