Kim Boyd snapped up a ton of action at the Division II Wrestling Sectional Tournament that was held on Feb. 14 & 15, 2014 at Western Brown.  My recent technical difficulties slowed down the publishing of them.  To refresh your memory, below is the report from Coach Pitman.

The wrestling team finished 6th Place at the Southwest Division II Sectional over the weekend. The following were the placers for the Cowboys. The top 4 move on to districts at Wilmington beginning on Friday. The 5th place finishers are alternates.

Gerry's 400th

Funny, he doesn't look a day over 40.  Arch Cunningham sent us a picture of the team celebrating his 400th W.

Stofko's Stalwart Shooters

Kara Pendery sent us a report from the 7th grade Boys' Basketball team.

They finished their season 14-1.  They lost a nail biter in overtime to Madeira.  Their first tournament game is Wednesday February 19th 5:30PM at Wyoming High School.  They will be playing Reading. 

If we win on Wednesday then the second game will be at 7:00 against the winner of Indian Hill vs. Mariemont and if we lose Wednesday then the game will played at 8:15. Let's go ahead and plan on them playing at 7:00 :)

Maybe report wasn't the best word to use.  Let's call it more of a call to action.  Let's turn out like the die-hards below to support out future high school superstars at Wednesday's game against Reading at the High School.

Thanks to Kara Pendery for the report and the pictures.

Jump In, The Water's Fine

The Navy sailor in the green 2010 Cowboy Cross Country T-Shirt is Wyoming alumna, Brett Miller ('12).  She was a high school diver in her day but I'm not so sure jumping into freezing cold Lake Michigan is really the same thing.

This Time With Pictures

Having cheered on the boys team at Districts the day before, the Wyoming Cowgirls were ready for their meet!! The girls swam strong and the District meet held time drops for everyone and some personal bests!

Leading the Cowgirls were Sr. swimmers: Caroline Duke, Cambray  Smith, Camille Wilson and Daria Oberholzer.

Caroline Duke placed 8th in the 200 free and 9th in the 100 free.

Daria Oberholzer placed 21st in the 200IM and 23rd in 100 breast

Cambray Smith 1st alternate for swimming, 1st place in team spirit!!

Camille Wilson placed  21st in 50 free, 24th in 100 free

And Fantastic Freshman

Anne Marie Criddle placed 22nd in the 500 free and 23rd in the 200 free.

Lia Thomas placed 12th in 100 free, and 14th in 50 free (Keep in mind Lia was injured and out of the water for more than half the season, and unable to swim butterfly. Imagine how she will do next season!!)

The girls also swam a 200 free Relay (Washienko,Wilson,Thomas, Duke) which placed 7th. All fingers crossed this relay will make it to State!!

Congratulations on a great meet!!

No, you're not going crazy.  Well I guess I can't really say that for certain, but in this instance, you're right. You have read this before. I somehow got the pictures to post, so I thought I'd put them in context with the full report.

Thanks to the Dukes for the pictures, and

Thanks again to Valerie Barrett for the report.
