Way to Go Cowboys!!

This Swim meet, like all of our other meets this season, was a" total team win".  All the swimmers earning 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes scored important points for the Cowboys in the win over Walnut Hills.  All the Cowboys are swimming faster in their respective events as our season heads into Championship mode.  Wyoming travels to Mariemont this Saturday, Jan.3rd for our annual "Dual in the Pool" crosstown shootout.  Last year Mariemont beat us out by a few points, this exciting dual swim/dive meet always comes down to the last few events.

Thanks to Coach Pete for the report, and

Thanks to Steve Connock for some of the pictures above.

Swimming Up Seven Hills

Saturday, December 27th, the Cowboys were in the water with Seven Hills, Finneytown, and Winton Woods.  Details of the meet were lost in translation, but I understand the Boys tied and the Girls crushed it.

How I Got Into College

Coach Steve Thomas always has the good stuff.  This link, HERE, is from an email sent to the Soccer team.  I thought with the New Year looming, the guide it links to might be great for all the athletes who are looking ahead to the future.  And if you replace the word coach with client or employer, potential or existing, I think the guide could be applicable to a lot of us.  Well, not you, of course.  You're on the ball - right on top of it.  Now your brother-in-law, yeah, forward it to him.  Please.

Thanks to Coach Thomas for the guide.

Cowboys in Canton

Saturday, December 20th, a slimmed down Swim Team squad made a whirlwind trip to Canton to swim in the Canton Christmas Invitational meet on Saturday, December 20th.  It's a great opportunity for these swimmers to get some experience in the same pool that will host the State meet.  I don't know if Coach Elliot channels the spirit of Gene Hackman's Norman Dale and pulls out a tape measure to show the athletes that the Canton pool is the same size as the ones here at home, but wouldn't it be great if he did.

Congratulations to Sara Washienko, Stephen Barrett, Philip Brocker, Becca Prangley, Chris
Rutter, Carson Burt, Ian Nyberg, Ally Golden and Anne Criddle for making it to the Finals!

Cowboy Quality Continues in College

Georgetown College Senior and WHS Alum, Tommy Campbell ('11), made 2nd Team All-American.  Way to go, Tommy!

Cowboys Tank Taylor

Saturday, December 20th, the Cowboys invited CHL rival, Taylor over to play.  It was all, "Me, Me, Me" as the Cowboys only allowed Taylor 19 points, while they put up 40 of their own.  See the CHL website HERE for the stats.

The various Girls Basketball teams, (7th, 8th, JV, Varsity) still need champions.  People who will be the voice of their team here on the Round Up.  Besides the super-cool, crumpled trench coat and hat complete with over-sized "PRESS" badge that we don't give all of our volunteer reporters, think of the satisfaction you'll have knowing you stepped up for these great athletes.

Thanks to Arch Cunningham for the great pictures.

Cowboy Divers All In At Mariemont

Saturday, December 20th, the Wyoming Dive team was in action at Mariemont High School.  Scheduling conflicts kept our intrepid reporter from staying for the results.  If you're a diver or taxi around someone who is a diver, please consider sending in a report to let us know how the team is doing.

Middle School Wrestlers Grappled at North College Hill Tournament

The Middle School Wrestling Team competed at the North College Hill Invitational this past weekend. There were 16 teams competing and two of our team members placed. Eight grader Kaleb Williams took 2nd Place in the 122# division, and seventh grader Isaiah Tidjani took 6th Place in the 110# class.  Ashton Lindy, Chris Izenson and Logan Weber also participated. Pape Diallo and Will Wolbers were unable to attend the NCH tourney, but they are part of the middle school team as well.  Following workouts over the winter break, the team will participate in tournaments at Deer Park, Walnut Hills and Hamilton.

Thanks to Coach Grunenberg for the report and the hardware picture.
