Hey everyone! As you may have expected, UC is busy as usual, but let me catch you up on all thats been happening.
On January 9th, our boys’ winter track team competed in the Union County Relay Championships at the Dunn Center in Elizabeth. Going into the race our coach told us that we have a really good chance to win. We were fresh off our Conference Championship performance, and we were ready to roll. All of the guys were pumped and excited to show the county what we could do. All day during school I couldn’t think about anything else, but I stayed focused as well as I could, and I prepared for a big night.
The meet started as expected with us right in the mix. As then night went on the race for first place got closer and closer. In fact the championship came down the last race. We were tied with Rahway for the win, and it came down to our 4x400 meter relay team. It was the most exciting race I have ever watched. We won the race and we were crowned Union County Relay Champions for the first time ever! It was a great day to be a Viking!
Recently we also had midterms, which are exams that take place after the first semester of the year. Everyone always stresses out about them, and I was no exception. We had two exams everyday, but we had half days everyday which was a nice thing. After countless hours of studying I took my exams with confidence, and I felt I did very well. I’m very nervous to receive my grades, but I think I’ll be fine.
As for the rest of school, it is still buzzing with news of our boy’s basketball team defeating arch rival Roselle Catholic on Saturday night. It was a great game, and the energy in the gym was electrifying. It was a big win for the school and it gives the basketball team loads of confidence as they approach the end of their season. I’ll keep you posted on how our team does, and also how our 4x400 meter relay team does and the Milrose Games in Madison Square Garden!
