First, we want to congratulate the three Track & Field athletes who competed in Saturday’s CIF Division Finals. For the first time in GHS history, multiple athletes competed in the Finals and all medaled! Establishing an enormous impact to the GHS Track & Field program, we are pleased to congratulate:
- Gary Hawkins Jr. who earned 3rd place in the 110m Hurdles with 14.51 and placed 11th overall out of all four divisions.
- Gavin Hong who earned 4th place in the High Jump with 6'1" and becomes GHS's 1st ever field event athlete to medal at CIF Finals.
- And Helen Tade who earned 5th place in the 100m Hurdles with 15.16. This is her 2nd fastest time of her career and becomes GHS’s first ever female medalist at CIF Finals.
The GHS Speech and Debate continues to make the news … quite literally. Here is a great article from last week’s Pasadena Independent about our wonderful GHS Sreamin’ Eagles: http://www.pasadenaindependent.com/school-and-education/gabrielinos-screamin-eagles-speech-team-advances-to-nationals/.
Finally, GHS Yearbooks are here! Come to the ASB room after school on Wednesday May 27 to pick up the award winning yearbook! Thank you Ash-a-Wut staff for a job well done!
