Spring Sports Information Meeting
We will be holding a Spring Athletics Information Meeting from 10:30-11:30am on Saturday, March 15th in the student cafeteria at Highland Park High School. Spring student-athletes are encouraged to attend with their parents/guardians, as we will be covering a variety of important topics related to athletic participation. We know a few of our teams are competing on the morning of the 15th and will not be able to attend this meeting. For those that cannot be there, the presentation will eventually be posted on the HPHS website. Those attending can enter the building through the H Entrance or Athletic Entrance.
PE Exemptions
Spring Athletes are beginning to ask about PE Exemptions. There is a meeting for juniors and seniors on a varsity sport on Friday, March 14th at 7:30am in the Exhibition Gym to learn more about the process and pick up the exemption forms.
Highlights
- Thursday at Stevenson, Shamar Wilson set a school record in the 60 meter dash running 7.00.
- On Saturday at Lakes, Emma Sitati placed 6th in the triple jump.
- Saturday at the Illinois Meet of Champions in Chicago, Dylan Dominguez set a new indoor school record in the 1600 meter run. He took 2nd place and ran 4:18.17 to beat the old record of 4:21.24 that was set by Jim Weinert in 1962! The 4X200 meter relay team of Hayden Tortora, Jacob Youra, Elliott Schraub, and Benjamin Holtschulte also had a great day running 1:39.75 in the 4X200 meter relay.
- This week Boys Gymnastics, Boys Water Polo and Girls Water Polo are starting their competitions. Best of luck to these teams as their journey begins.
