A Wrap-Up of the Spring Season All four teams active in the State Championship hunt
By Sante Dybowski Chieftain Staff
Baseball
So far, Baseball has lived up to expectations this season. The Warriors definitely have built a strong team bond, and that shows on the field. With leaders such as Junior Reese Trahey and Seniors Alex Kuster and Chris Faust, the team has showed that it can definitely compete in the playoffs. With this season already successful, the team will have momentum leading into next year, even after losing some key Senior leaders.
Golf
Golf has had major success as of late and is definitely on the upward climb to being a State contender. Led by Senior Jack Reinhart and Junior Quinn O’ Leary, the squad has had great success this season after a rebuilding year last year. With Coach Braisted stepping in as the new coach, the team looked to start fresh, and there is major potential in the future. Although a
State Championship might not be as realistic this year, these Warriors definitely will be a hard team to beat in the coming years.
The Lacrosse Team celebrates after a goal vs. CC
Lacrosse
This team was supposed to be a roadblock for the Brother Rice Lacrosse legacy, with major gaps to fill early from the 2016 squad.“ I think the season has been a success so far,” Junior Connor
Marsh said.“ We started the season a little slow, but we quickly adjusted to the challenges we faced.” A statement win over Victor, which held the longest winning streak in the country with 50 wins, reestablished the Warriors as one of the elite programs in the Midwest. Since then, the team won the Catholic League Championship against Catholic Central, 15-10, and is currently angling for its 15th State Championship in a row.
Track and Field
Performances by Octaveious Miles( shotput and discuss) and Michael Murphy( long jump) stood out, but the backbone of the team has been the distance performances. Led by Sophomore Alec Miracle, Junior Michael Tremonti and Senior Kyle Chisholm, the distance team has become one of the best in the state. Most improved have been the high jumpers, led by Christian Hayek, who jumped a personal record of 6-0. After a good showing at states, the team hopes to carry the momentum into next year.
