On Feb. 3 the ninth grade gathered in the auditorium to recognize the ninth grade athletes in winter sports. The many sports teams included swim team, boys’ indoor track, girls’ indoor track, wrestling, basketball, gymnastics and indoor silks. Members of each team were first recognized then competed in an obstacle course. The wrestling team had the fastest time and won the course.

Put it on! Eve Ergler competed along with other members of the boys’ and girls’ swim team in the obstacle course. Swimming serves as an upper body exercise as it exercises the deltoids, triceps and biceps.
