A Heads-Up

I've looked at the Round Up Winter programming forecast and I wanted to give you fair warning:  There's going to be a lot of Swimming posts coming up.  If you're anything like me and your eyes started burning after only looking at the chlorine choked atmosphere in the picture above, you're going to have to do something about it.  We can't not-post the swim pictures, so what's left to do?  Like sewer department creed - "Dilution is the Solution".  We may not be able to decrease the amount of swimming you see in the Round Up, but we can certainly decrease the percentage of swim related posts.  That means we need to increase the amount of shoe-utilized Winter sports posts.  To give your eyes a break every once in a while, YOU are going to have to submit stories, scores, highlights, and or pictures from your favorite Winter sport. 

By the way, I'm not kidding about the YOU part up there.  I've asked around and everybody keeps giving me your name.  I don't know what that's all about, but what can we do?  I know you don't want to let everybody down.

From AD Jan Wilking,

As many are aware our long time volleyball coach has retired from the sidelines.  As a part of the process of selecting the next coach we would like to learn from the Wyoming volleyball community what you view as the most important criteria for selection.  The following link is a 3 question survey.  If you are interested in giving input into the process please complete the survey by December 1, 2014.  The job will be posted and advertised starting on December 1, 2014.  We hope to have interviews in December and a final candidate to the Board of Education for approval no later than the February meeting.

A View From the Top

Did you see Andrew Derge was selected All-State First Team in Division II and Jay Klein was selected All-State Second Team in Division II?  All these pictures are from the All-City awards ceremony at the All-Southwest Ohio Senior All Star Game.  

That's four "All"s in one sentence. There's gotta be an award for that somewhere too, right?

Thanks to Deb Varland for bringing back the goods.

CHL All Sports Trophy Correction

We recently posted about Wyoming's lead in the CHL All Sports Trophy (HERE).  Despite having a full 10 fingers to count with, I still made a mathilogical error and overlooked our 5th CHL winning team.  Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader for pointing out my oversight.  

My apologies to the 

CHL

CHAMPION

GIRLS

CROSS

COUNTRY

TEAM.

The Girls Cross Country Team took the title in a race that "featured 6 teams in the top 10 of the Cincinnati Enquirer DII/III Coaches Poll.  Our team combined for their strongest performance of the season, scoring 36 and easily outdistancing 2nd-place Madeira's 73.  Katie Spray finished second with a career-best time of 20:21, and Whitley Elsass and Terra Forsythe followed close behind in 3rd and 5th.  All 3 earned 1st-Team All-CHL honors.  Danielle McKee received 2nd-Team All-League for her 8th place performance.  Emily Wood (who set a new PR by over 100 seconds!), Lily Parker, and Isabella Renggli all finished in front of the 5th scorer of every other team.  4 Wyoming girls ran under 21 minutes at the CHL Championship for the first time since the league meet moved to Sharon Woods.  Also, Katie and Whitley again moved up the individual all-time WHS Top 20 list."

Wyoming Cowboys in Command of CHL All Sports Trophy

As if there was ever any doubt after taking league titles in 4 of 8 Fall sports (Football, Boys Cross County, Boys Soccer, and Volleyball), the Cowboys have a healthy lead in the CHL All-Sports Trophy.  The Cowboys are in the top spot with 61 points over 2nd place, Indian Hill's 49.5 and 3rd place, Maderia's 48.5.  Last year, after the Fall numbers were in, the Cowboys had only 58 with Indian Hill having 55.
