TRINITY FINE ARTS STUDENTS WOW AT ANNUAL PERFORMANCE Students in grades 6-12 in Fine Arts classes presented Trinity's annual Twas the Night performance to two sold out audiences and then again for the entire student body. Dancers in levels 1-6 presented ballet, jazz, and modern selections while the middle school choir, the Trinity Singers, and the Guys and Dolls Show Choir sang and danced to both new and traditional Christmas tunes. Students in the Visual Arts department showcased their works in the winter wonderland transformed lobby of Willett Hall. This annual tradition is a Trinity favorite, getting everyone in the spirit of the season. SAINT JAMES SCHOOL TAKES THE STATE TITLE IN CROSS COUNTRY The Saint James Girls Cross Country team, with front runner Junior Presley Miles, took the Class 3A State Championship title in early November. Presley recorded the best time of all the female competitors at the event, “Presley was the fastest girl in Alabama by 25 seconds,” per Saint James Coach Kevin Madden. “Presley is an amazing competitor, but she was also leading a team that stepped up and achieved their best when it counted the most. Cross Country competitions include the top five performers, and with those included, Saint James was able to take Westminster Christian by 13 points,” Madden explained. “I’m very proud of Presley Miles, Kendal Wright, and Hannah Richardson for earned all-state,” Madden said. “Everyone contributed to the team championship including the ‘Blazing Bennetts – Breanna and Brooke,’” he continued. “They produced mightily for their team and are just in 7th grade!” The 3A Cross Country Championship this fall marks a first for Saint James, however, it is the third state title for Miles and her teammates in 2019. The STJ Girls earned two titles in the winter and spring: Indoor Track State Champions and Outdoor Track & Field State Champions. www.potentialmagazine.com Spring 2020 | L17
