CHL All-Sports Trophy

From ADSK:

CONGRATULATIONS WYOMING!!!

After entering the Spring 6 points down to Indian Hill in the CHL All-Sports Trophy count (which some said was insurmountable), an incredible weekend of performances helped us come from behind to take a share of the CHL Cup All-Sports Trophy for the 11th consecutive year.

Bill Bretz (Sports Information Director for the CHL) does a great job of outlining the excitement of what occurred this weekend in the e-mail below- not just in the sports involved, but the impact they had on the 2011-2012 CHL Cup…….

As you know, the CHL Cup represents overall performances in all sports over the course of a school year- and the CHL Cup points ending as tight as they did shows the importance of every point and every contest/game.

Congratulations to each of you and your teams for securing another CHL Cup trophy for the Wyoming Cowboys!!!! 12 out of 18 of our sports finished 1st or 2nd in the Conference and the others were not far behind. These results are another example of our student-athletes commitment to multiple sports, the passion the coaches put into preparing the athletes and the great diversity of our school and community.

In addition to the fantastic finishes from the weekend in the e-mail below, here is how our teams finished this year (like I said above, EVERY point mattered):

- CHL Champions: Girls Volleyball, Boys Swimming, Boys Track and Girls Track
- 2nd Place: Football, Girls Cross Country, Boys Cross Country, Girls Tennis, Girls Basketball, Wrestling, Baseball and Boys Tennis
- 3rd Place: Boys Soccer, Boys Golf, Girls Swimming
- 4th Place: Girls Soccer
- 6th Place: Softball
- 7th Place: Boys Basketball

I just wanted you to know before I post the story that Indian Hill & Wyoming tied for the All Sports Trophy. Each school had 109.5 points. I went back and double checked each sport throughout the year and it still was a tie. I looked back at the weekend and saw how the tie was created. Going into Friday evening, Indian Hill was actually in position to win it outright. Terrell Dailey’s spectacular finish in the 4 X 400 relay gave Wyoming the boys’ track & field title.

Then Saturday, the 2-0 win by Wyoming over Mariemont left Wyoming in a three way tie for 2nd. A loss would put them in a tie for 3rd which would be .5 less point. So, what a finish to the league season. So this, to my knowledge, is the first time two teams have tied for the trophy, which I believe Wyoming has won for several straight years. Maybe the two ADs can break the tie! I know [Indian Hill AD] Jill [Bruder] has a track & field background. How about a 100 meter dash between Scott & Jill? I’ll be glad to start the race! All kidding aside, congratulations to the both of you for great sports programs.
