FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL When the Class of 2019 graduated last June, twenty-five percent of the members of the Class were designated as “Legends.” In order to become a Legend, these students had attended Cape Henry Collegiate from either first grade, kindergarten or prekindergarten. These young people spent twelve to fifteen years on campus. Their entire educational journey had taken place at 1320 Mill Dam Road. That’s an impressive run! On the front cover, you see an image capturing a tradition that we call the Legends Walk. It is a celebration of these students and their families and it comes just a few days before Commencement. After attending a family breakfast where students and parents share their Kannon Buroughs and Jenson Stone traveled with graduating CHC reflections about their time at Cape Henry, our Legends undertake Legend, Ethan Wolff '19, from Café Dolphin to the Lower School Playground during the Legends Walk. their “final” walk through the Lower School. Thus, they end where they began. Our youngest students escort them through the halls as all of our Lower School teachers and students line up and applaud for them. The walk ends on our playground where family photos are taken and students are able to reflect on their journey… from the swing set to college. It’s a powerful, symbolic event for students, parents and staff. It kicks off a series of events through which we celebrate our graduates and recognize their time at Cape Henry. Following the Legends Walk, we hold our final Upper School Assembly. At this gathering, it is a tradition to have a senior speak. This past year, one senior spoke to his Class while another senior delivered a message to his classmates through music. Shortly thereafter, we gather on a Sunday afternoon in order to hold our Commencement. It is an opportunity for the school to honor our graduates and to see them off on the next phase of their journey… as alumni of this great school. After a few short months, our Middle and Upper Schools come back together with Convocation… an event on the first morning of school where we gather and re-commit to a new year of learning. Endings and new beginnings. Recognition of commitment and loyalty. Celebration of achievements. Anticipation of future growth. Events provide us with an opportunity to symbolically represent the journey that our students and families take. As a school, these events remind us how privileged we are to be a part of these journeys. Enjoy this issue of Soundings and look for the events covered and how they help to make us a stronger and more connected community. Enjoy a glimpse into our students’ journeys and into the journey of Cape Henry Collegiate.

Celebrating the Class of 2019 VA L E D I CTO R I AN AD D RESS OF FI ONA C LUNAN ' 19 Good afternoon, everyone. Today is a consequential day in history: on this day in 1865, the Civil War officially ended, in 455, the Vandals sacked Rome, in 1989 Chinese citizens protested in Tiananmen Square, in 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned, and today, we are graduating from Cape Henry. For such a momentous occasion, I feel slightly unfit to be the one to provide a strong moral statement that will provide mentality-altering inspiration for you as you approach life beyond high school. After all, I’m only seventeen years old and in many ways, I can really relate to that dumb-blonde stereotype. No matter how much advanced calculus I take, my common sense skills are still a bit lacking. Also, since I’m somewhat uncertain why doing well in a lot of AP classes and not taking physics (sorry, Mr. Rodgers), lends me some sort of moral authority to speak before you at graduation, I think I’m better off just talking about my love of an already established Cape Henry core value: community. Community was a central theme of my Nexus trip to Peru last summer. My friends and I stayed in a high-altitude village called Patacancha. There, life isn’t easy: we thought we had it tough mixing cement to build a kitchen in the cold rain, but there every day residents must walk miles upon miles uphill to their alpaca ranging grounds and experience backbreaking work as potato farmers toiling on mountain terraces. They survive through a system called ayni, best translated as reciprocity. It means that when an individual is in a time of need, all other villagers come to his/her aid without expecting anything tangible in return. For example, if a farmer is struggling to harvest his entire crop of potatoes or if a new family needs to build a bathroom, the rest of their community will help them do so. There is faith that if the individual works for the benefit of others in the community, the community will help the individual in times of difficulty. Cape Henry practices ayni as well. On an individual level, I’ve loved helping my friends with math problems or Spanish, and my close friendships were the only thing keeping me sane through the all-nighters I pulled junior year. Teachers like Mr. McGraw, who granted me extensions on assignments after I’d missed school for sports or other activities, helped me succeed in academics so that I could give back by remaining enthusiastic and excited about the act of learning in their classes. But what has influenced me most has been to watch others engage in ayni and give back to the community without expecting anything in return. James Tyler: can I give you a shoutout? You’re my inspiration. Not only have you scored higher than me in basically every single math competition this year, but you’re one of the best golfers to come through this school. Also, you’ve done what few others are capable of: passing AP Physics, what I consider a superhuman feat. But besides simply being a role model, James spends his free time delivering food from restaurants to help the less fortunate. James, if there’s one high-school senior mature enough to dispense wisdom, it’s you. Also, can I mention Jamie Freedman? Jamie, your unwavering passion for improving the school community has made me even more excited to be a Cape Henry student. And Peter, I hope you know how inspiring your activism has been to me and the rest of the community. And Grace and Aidan, your performances have added incredible vibrancy to school life. Not only have we given much to the school community, but we’ve each been paid back tenfold. Ayni goes two ways, as individuals both contribute to and benefit from the community. I’ve benefited from Cape Henry in a myriad of ways, but especially from the school’s flexibility. It has allowed me to design a unique path of success for myself. I’ve travelled to other countries and taken a variety of language classes- opportunities unavailable at other places- because of this flexibility. My Linear Algebra class is also a good example of how such flexibility made learning engaging and rewarding. We were able to learn math in-depth while developing skills like cryptography and exploring

various conspiracy theories on the side. You might have seen the numerous matrices posted around the hallways over the course of the year. Yes, we encrypted several of those to say something along the lines of “The Moon Landings were Faked” and “The Illuminati Control the World Order.” We the students, with the help of our fantastic teacher Mr. Rudolph (who I’ll note was not involved in the conspiracy theories), made that class our own and we learned far more than we could’ve imagined about the intricacies of linear algebra and also alleged plots to take over the world. I believe that Cape Henry’s ability to mold itself to us and our interests, whether they are learning about other cultures or studying other branches of math, is why we’ve gotten so much out of our years here, and how we’ve gotten where we are, headed to not only the best colleges in the world but the best colleges for ourselves individually. My hope is that we attribute our success not only to our hard work, but also to those around us. Reciprocity has been a key factor to our success. Without the school community around me, and the privilege of being raised by encouraging and involved parents who supported my educational goals, I doubt I would be speaking to you now. Our environment, especially our Cape Henry environment, has shaped who we are. Therefore, I hope that we can recognize that we owe our success in part to our environment, and that we should continue devoting ourselves to improving our environment, which includes any community which we join. One of my favorite quotations is from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous Letter from the Birmingham Jail, in which he wrote that “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” He penned this while calling for all Americans to support the Civil Rights Movement, arguing that it would improve life in America for everyone. For many of us, our closest “network of mutuality” has been the Cape Henry community, which we have improved and which has improved our lives as well. And while for the next few years, our tightest “network of mutuality” will be our college, I also expect that we will increasingly realize King’s true meaning in his letter: that the whole country and really the whole world is “tied in a single garment of destiny”. Rather than embracing our individualism in the sense that each of us should look out only for ourselves, I hope that we will use our individualism to contribute something unique to society, so that we can guide the destiny of our communities and the whole world in a positive direction. To sum it up, I’d like to close with the famous quotation "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." Just kidding, that would be cliche and pointless, since the truth is, our class already has many who have “landed among the stars”. My hope, or rather my expectation, is that you all keep inspiring me and keep practicing the ayni, reciprocity, that has made Cape Henry the amazing place it is and will make the world a better environment in which to live. I can’t wait to see James come up with a solution to dramatically reduce world hunger and for Nicole to devise a cure for HIV and for Peter Pan to champion human rights around the world and for Grace and Aidan to continue inspiring others on Broadway and for Carolyn to lead the fight against climate change. I can’t wait to see us positively change the destiny of the world.

NEXUS GLOBAL STUDIES
American Civil Rights Experience In the Spring of 2019, a group of Cape Henry Collegiate students and faculty boarded a bus in Virginia Beach, and embarked on a historic journey - or, rather, a journey through history. Together, they traveled over 1,500 miles (and across several decades) to explore landmarks that played an integral role in the United States' Civil Rights Movement during the 1950's and 1960's. After the day-long bus ride to Atlanta, the first stop for these 15 Upper School students was Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Park, where they had the opportunity to tour the Civil Rights leader's birth home, as well as Ebenezer Baptist Church. Before departing Georgia later that evening, the group explored a number of exhibits and sat through a simulated sit-in at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. Onward to Selma, Alabama, where our students immersed themselves in the Footprints to Freedom tour. Guided by Mr. Sam Walker, who marched from Selma to Montgomery as an 11-year-old, the day culminated with a walk across the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge. From Selma, our group traveled to Montgomery, Alabama to visit the Legacy Museum, as well as the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which is dedicated to the legacy of enslaved African Americans and individuals terrorized by lynching. Over the five days of the History of Civil Rights travel program, our students engaged with history through the stories of those who were there, the artifacts that were left behind, and the work of artists who molded these events into tangible reflections on our national history. We asked several students to share their experiences from their journey.

The American Civil Rights Nexus Trip BY MADISEN PATRICK '19
“If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs” - Mary McLeod Bethune An enormous United States Flag flew over a rest stop in South Carolina. So big, that as a group we all stopped in our steps to stare and watch the win whip it back and forth. The flag was capable of embracing and engulfing the fifteen of us multiple times. We looked up at the flag in comfort and honor, but the flag’s shadow did not foreshadow for us how small that flag reached around our ancestors. Our ancestors that had no rights; cast as outsiders with no other option but to stand up in the red, white, and blue to make the land of the free, free for me. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia appeared fresh with its 21st-century architecture and advanced technology outside. The appeal did not last long; as you entered into the museum you saw nothing but the painful and true reality of the Civil Rights Movement. It was not clean or nice. It was not pretty or cute. It was brutal to the point of murder. It was inhuman to the point of animalistic actions. It was peace fighting against hate. I experienced this fight in the museum with a real-life simulation of the Greensboro “sit-ins” in 1960. The Greensboro sit-in consisted of college students walking up to a whites-only lunch counter and when refused service, the students sat patiently despite threats. My eyes closed, hands flat on the counter in front of me and headphones on my ears, I was placed into other eighteen-year-olds shoes only 60 years ago. The shouting, the name-calling, and the vibration of the seat imitating the abuse, left me astonished and mentally hurt. As I comforted one of my closest friends, I started to cry as well. The tears were not out of fear, but out of honor and respect. I cried for my ancestors unknown. I cried for my great- grandparents, my grandparents, my mother and my father. I cried the tears they were unable to shed because of how strong they had to be. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967 stated that “being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry.” At that moment, I could not imagine smiling and sitting still through the hatred I heard from the voices in the headset. I could not imagine a smile that strong. Venturing next to Selma, Alabama, I did not know what to expect. Our tour guide, Sam Walker, was eleven years old when he participated in the march from Selma to Montgomery. He first showed us the Edmund Pettus Bridge; I gazed down from the peak and tried to imagine a barricade of police with arms crossed, gas masks, and wooden batons. My hands were empty, no protection from anything that threatened my life. How could the protesters move forward? How could they after seeing a barrier they could not pass? After showing us the bridge, our tour guide then became our oppressor as we were taken through a real-life experience of being a slave. Our names, history, and identity were erased. He yelled and threatened us, but nothing compared to when he took four of our classmates away. He then led the rest of us around a corner and there we saw Clyde Bailey, Gregory Melvin, Paris Beale, and Nadia Norman each with a noose around their necks. My chest caved in, my heart raced, and tears leaked from my eyes. The pain and traumatization I felt from imagining my friends being hanged put into perspective what my ancestors went through. The emotions I felt from a simulated experience were real. Fifty-four miles later in Montgomery, we observed the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and Freedom Rides Museum. After viewing these museums, I felt reverence towards those that had come before me and made the life-threatening choice to make a difference. I began to realize the impact of these events on myself. I was left humbled to live the life I am living: being able to go to a private school, walk on the sidewalk without fear, freedom of speech, vote, eat at any restaurant, and live free. It made me deny the idea of this ever happening in America again. The trip showed me how far this country has come and how far it has yet to go. It made me feel stronger and gives Crossing the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge. me courage to stand up when I witness injustice. It validated the honor and pride I have for being an African American. It made me prouder to be an American. With the Cape Henry Collegiate Nexus program, I have traveled around the world to Norway, Panama, and Israel. But the Civil Rights Nexus trip to see and learn the truth of America’s past, has been the most impactful and life-changing Nexus trip I have ever had the opportunity to participate in. It allowed me to learn and comprehend my history, and with that came learning more about myself.

The Trip to the Promised Land BY SAM SMITH
Have you ever imagined visiting the very place where your own ancestors fought for the future of the United States of America? Well, I got to experience that very feeling, that feeling of being in the shoes of the people that fought for our rights. This very experience was brought to my attention by the Nexus Global Studies Program at Cape Henry Collegiate. Overall, this trip definitely opened my eyes to the realities of the disrespect that African-Americans had to endure during that perilous time. I will admit, at first I was very hesitant to go on this trip because of the fact that I was one of the only two Freshman going on this excursion. Most of the boys on the trip knew each other already from the basketball team or just being friends with each other since the beginning of the school year. Then there was me, who did not speak to a single one of those people until the ODU Diversity Dialogue Day. Another reason why I was so hesitant to go on this trip was the fact that I was one of the only people that did not look African-American. Even though I am biracial, I look more white than I do black and I felt like I would feel really out of place in that excursion. After thinking about dropping out for a few nights, I kept trying to convince myself that I belong and that I deserve to go to Alabama. That is when I realized that if I go on this trip then I will be learning about my history as well, since I am African-American, too. This definitely gave me confidence going into this experience which is why I did not drop out and carried out the plan to go on the trip. At first, I sat alone on the nine-hour bus ride to Atlanta, Georgia stopping along the way in different states. When we stopped in South Carolina to get food, I tried to open up to some of the boys. I tried to talk basketball with the little knowledge I had about the March Madness tournament this year. It ended up working out, and turns out that I would be rooming with this person for the remainder of the trip. After arriving at the Red Lion Hotel, my roommates and I had a very relaxing time just watching March Madness and dozing off. After waking up at the crack of dawn and eating a healthy breakfast at Waffle House, we set off to go to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial and the childhood house of Martin Luther King, Jr. This was so eye-opening to me because I got to see how Martin Luther King, Jr. was actually just a normal kid living in Georgia. He was actually quite mischievous if I may add, but he still was a very respectful, young boy. It was also depressing visiting his neighborhood because right across the street from his house, were houses that did not even have basic necessities. Those houses were the very houses that were used by people who fought for every inch of every right we have now. That particular experience was special to me because I realized how average Martin Luther King, Jr. was before he became a fearless leader for Civil Rights. After that, we drove to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights where we learned about various issues the average African-American had to go through. The most shocking experience at that museum was sitting at a virtual lunch counter and listening to the absolutely absurd rhetoric. I reflected on this experience in an interview with three of my friends and shared what it was like being a freedom fighter back then. The thing that still shakes me to my core to this day is the fact that a two-minute virtual experience reduced some of my friends to tears. I can only imagine the restraint those people had to not get up and retaliate. After visiting the CNN center and walking around Atlanta, we settled in Selma, Alabama on Thursday evening. We also had a reflection later that night about our own experiences with racism at our school. I’ll just say some of the stories are not meant to be uttered ever again. Anyway, in the morning, we went to the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute. This is where I had to stare at an authentic KKK Klansman outfit, which was one of the scariest moments of my life. What I saw in those burning, blue eyes, were the screaming faces of black people being tortured alive. Compared to me, the Klansman replica seemed so large that I could only imagine the terror of seeing a whole pack of them holding a burning cross walking their way. When I thought the tour was over, I had not realized yet that it had only just begun. When getting off the bus to our presumed “next stop”, we were suddenly being shouted at and lined up against a wall. We had just become slaves of our own tour guide, Mr. Sam Walker, and now we had to act like merchandise. Throughout this whole experience we were being called names that are definitely inappropriate to be said nowadays. The worst part of all was when he picked “good” slaves to pick out slaves that would not fit on a plantation environment. I was one of the ones picked, but little to my knowledge the slave owner actually turned on the “good” slaves. He ordered them to be killed because if you can turn on your own kind then you will most certainly turn on the slave owner. This whole experience ended with us having to see our own friends in a noose on a tree stump in the next room. This scarred many of my classmates because they knew that is what their ancestors had to do back in those terrible times. The more uplifting part of this day was when we got to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge to feel triumphant about the hard-fought victory my ancestors had. Afterwards, we drove to Montgomery, Alabama where we rested and went to the State Capital and walked through there until we found our way to the Legacy Museum. This museum was by far one of the most compelling museums we had gone to because it had actual statistics. For instance, this museum had this one table where you could see the different places where recorded lynchings occurred. There were many disturbing facts I found out, but there are two that stick with me to this day. The first statistic, was that in Mississippi alone there were 656 lynchings that were recorded. For there to be that many lynchings in that one state, told me that there was so much hate in that era of time. The second most disturbing fact I learned, was that in one county there were 240 people that were lynched. Phillips County, Arkansas had one of the most gruesome amount of deaths ever recorded during a time where hate was everywhere. After eating at Dreamlands Barbeque we headed out to go to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. This was a very powerful memorial because it commemorated everyone that was lynched during that hostile time. They were represented by county with these bronze boxes hung elegantly in the air. It was truly a beautiful setting and they did a fantastic job tending to each every one of those memorials. This place really spoke to me because I had the chance to see the vast number of black people that were doing nothing wrong. After this memorial we commuted National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia. all the way back to Atlanta, Georgia to the infamous Red Lion Hotel. We had to wake up before the sun rose at 4 o’clock in the morning to get back home at 2:00 in the afternoon. I really enjoyed this experience for various reasons ranging from my amazing group of people that went on the trip to the unforgettable material we learned about our history. I feel like the people that went on the trip really bonded from being stuck in an elevator to just having a great time together. The things we learned in Georgia/Alabama I will never forget for the rest of my life from the KKK Klansman outfit to the virtual lunch counter. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his fellow Freedom Fighters learned that in order for everyone to thrive in the future there has to be suffrage in the present. Through my experiences I have learned that one drop of love in the world can stop a whole stream of hate.

90 GOLFERS COME TOGETHER FOR A SWINGING GOOD TIME
Monday, April 29 was a bit chilly at the Cavalier Golf and Yacht Club but that didn't stop the golfers from coming out and playing some great golf to benefit Cape Henry. Every player stayed to enjoy a delicious banquet dinner and went home with a brand new pair of Oakley sunglasses as their player gift. This year also marked the first time that we have had an all-female alumni team which included Margo Winans '89, Dana Truxell '89, Betsy Harrison '91, and Maddy Spear '14. This year’s tournament raised over $70,000 to support programs at CHC.

Our Volunteers Giving the Greatest Gift of All – Their Time by Mrs. Julie Ramsey, Cape Henry Parents' Association (CHPA) President This past year marked a change in the focus of the Cape Henry Parents’ Association. In years past much of the work that CHPA did was built around fundraising but this year they took a new approach to enrich school spirit, stimulate involvement, and generate enthusiasm. CHPA has accomplished a great deal this school year to build community. The Arts Committee, led by Jean Matacunas, assisted with a number of projects, including helping to hang Lower School art in the hallways to making costumes for the Upper School plays. The newly formed Athletics Committee, led by Caddie Hardy and Heather Short, worked with parent volunteers to help in the concessions stand during busy athletic events. During the winter season they planned a “CHPA Night” during a triple header of basketball games. Complete with food from Moe’s and half-time fun and prizes from CHPA – it was a great night to be a Dolphin. This committee also decorated lockers for all winter sport seniors, promoted and celebrated the wrestlers during state competitions with a special banner and passed out pom poms to CHC fans during both the Varsity Girls and Boys Basketball games at Norfolk Academy. During the spring season, the committee combined CHPA Appreciation with the Dolphin Jamboree. There were half-time
activities during the Lacrosse games and pizza was provided by YourPie with 15% of Your Pie sales being donated to Cape Henry Crush Cancer team. They had a very busy first year! The Lower School Social Events committee started the school year off with a very successful movie event at the Beach Cinema and Alehouse, thanks to Sara Hewitt and Beverlee Woodington. Next up, this committee planned a Farmhouse Friday at Back Bay Brewing. Throughout the year, there were numerous Sweet Frog nights to coincide with several of the arts performances. A new initiative for the Community Projects Committee was the Dollars for Dough program with Papa Johns Pizza. Christy Dixon helped to ensure that everyone received information about ordering pizza online so that our school could benefit with a contribution from Papa Johns. This committee also promoted Amazon Smile, linking your Kroger and Harris Teeter shopping cards to CHC, and collecting and counting box tops. The Fall Festival chairs, Sarah Kubicki and Joanna Duerden, incorporated new changes for this year’s festival. The event opened 30 mins earlier than in previous years so that Race at the Cape participants could come straight to the festival after they had completed the race. Unlimited play wristbands were new this year as well and were extremely popular (particularly with parents). CHPA was able to donate close to $6,000 back to the Lower, Middle, and Upper School student clubs who participated. The fall fundraiser, which is CHPA’s main fundraising effort for the year, was once again led by Alice Souter with help from her committee and CHPA officers, Kim Shepherd and Natalie Jaycox. CHPA was able to generate close to $9,000!

The 2019 Grand Auction was another huge success raising over $196,000 for Cape Henry! The Chinese New Year theme illuminated the gymnasium and the student performers were a great addition. We had 45 volunteers assisting with Bonnie Green and Amy Jackson leading the charge as co-chairs of the event. CHPA was a sponsor and once again donated a live auction item featuring a cooking class for ten people with Chef Todd Ramsey at Hot Tuna. Mark your calendars for next year’s Grand Auction on January 25 and get ready to enjoy Havana Nights! The Staff Appreciation Committee, organized by Lisa Shade, Lisa Mugler, Sheryl Reynolds, and Kim Gross, kicked off the school year by presenting each faculty and staff member with a gift certificate from Chick’s Oyster Bar. Their Fall Brunch was held in October and featured chicken and waffles, an egg bowl from Bagel Baker and sweet potato biscuits with ham. The Winter Wonderland Sweet Shop was a holiday event where the teachers and staff had the opportunity to stop by for a sweet treat during the day. And to wrap up the year, the committee hosted the Red-Hot Valentine’s Luncheon which was catered by Matt Mancoll with Bite Catering. CHPA was pleased to present two significant gifts to the school. First, a Faculty Professional Development Grant in the amount of $2,000 to the school and $10,000 to Brian Facemire and Sam Stanton, as representatives of the TV Club, to purchase mobile live streaming media equipment so that we can stream our athletic events. CHPA was excited to support both of these worthy efforts. Lastly, we are appreciative of all of the hard work and dedication of the 2018-2019 CHPA Executive Board Officers from this past school year and we are excited to welcome the new officers for the 2019-2020 school year. We will continue our efforts to build community and school spirit. Go Dolphins!

Athletic Report BOYS BASKETBALL HEAD COACH Mark Hall
ASSISTANT COACHES Burt Burroughs Scott Clark
TEAM CAPTAINS Danny Banister Christian Moore Dajour Rucker
TEAM RECORD 22-6
After finishing the 2018 winter season with a 15-12 record, Varsity Boys Basketball prepared for the 2019 season-opener with an intense focus throughout the offseason. Following the November 28 win under the direction of TCIS Coach of the Year Mark Hall and Assistant Coaches Scott Clark and Burt Burroughs, the Dolphins were off to an 8-2 start to the season. Earning vital DI State wins over perennial state contenders Benedictine (65-40) and Collegiate School (54-40), the exciting and confident brand of basketball carried the Dolphins to a fifth place DI State Ranking. Boys Basketball entered the middle half of the season with TCIS regular season play, earning two commanding wins over Norfolk Collegiate and Bishop Sullivan Catholic. Splitting the next four games, the Dolphins moved to 10-4 on the season and picked up two more important TCIS wins. Hitting their stride at the right time, Boys Basketball finished the regular season on a ten-game win streak and earned the TCIS Regular Season Championship. The undefeated regular season guaranteed Cape Henry Collegiate the first seed in the TCIS Tournament. The Dolphins earned the quarterfinal win over Norfolk Collegiate (76-69) before falling in a heart-breaking, last-second loss to Bishop Sullivan Catholic (60-61) in the semifinal. The season would continue as the top-five DI State Tournament seed earned one final home court matchup against St. John Paul the Great Catholic School in the Division I VISAA State Tournament. Cape Henry earned the win (60-56) on their home court and geared up for a matchup with St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School, but ultimately fell to the eventual State Championship as the season rounded to an end with signs of a promising returning roster. Varsity Boys Basketball proved to be a force in the area throughout the 2019 season, largely due to the incredible talent from senior captain Dajour Rucker, who finished his career with 1946 points, 1st Team All-Tidewater, 1st Team All-State, TCIS Player of the Year, and a scholarship to Marshall University next fall. Also committed to play Division I Basketball, senior Danny Banister plans to attend Hampton University in the fall after completing a stellar high school basketball career with 2nd Team All-TCIS honors. Rounding out the senior class, the Dolphins will sincerely miss the explosive athletic abilities of Kellen Marshall in 2020. Standout sophomore Christian Moore continued to build on his versatile skill set throughout 2019 as he steadily elevated his play throughout the season en route to 1st Team All-TCIS at the conclusion of 2019. The Dolphins bid farewell to the Class of 2019 but alongside Moore, Cape Henry is poised for success with returners Lane Carlson, Landon Clay, Beau Gwaltney, Nick Hubbard, CJ Bailey, Bryson Spell, George Cutler, and Greg Melvin returning to the hardwood in 2020.
GIRLS BASKETBALL HEAD COACH Ramona Dominguez
ASSISTANT COACHES Kavin DeJesus Torance Press
TEAM CAPTAINS Amberly Butler Nadia Norman Madisen Patrick
TEAM RECORD 8-11
Varsity Girls Basketball entered the 2019 winter athletic season with an energized roster of nine student-athletes under the guidance of Head Coach Ramona Dominguez, and Assistant Coaches Kavin DeJesus and Torance Press. After finishing the 2018 season with a 5-9 record, the Dolphins battled to an 8-11 record in 2019 behind captains Amberly Butler, Nadia Norman, and Madisen Patrick. The girls opened the season against First Colonial High School, giving Dolphin fans excitement for the future of the team. The girls ultimately fell in a seven-point contest with the Patriots but bounced back with two TCIS wins over Walsingham Academy (51-23) and Hampton Roads Academy (40-34). The momentum was halted with three non-conference losses entering the winter break but upon return to the classroom and the court, Cape Henry Collegiate found success once again, winning three of five TCIS matchups over Norfolk Collegiate (44-39), Hampton Roads Academy (34-27), and Walsingham Academy (53-26). The girls wrapped up the regular season with wins over Peninsula Catholic (58-28) and Norfolk Christian (46-41) en route to a 5-5 TCIS record and a top-five seed in the upcoming tournament. Varsity Girls Basketball entered the TCIS Tournament as the fifth seed with a three-way tie for third in the regular season, and were set to travel to Norfolk Collegiate for the conference quarterfinal. Varsity Girls Basketball held onto the lead throughout the night but with minutes left in the fourth quarter, the lead was erased. The girls ultimately fell in a two-point loss (48-50) as the night came down to free throws. Senior captain Madisen Patrick’s contributions to basketball across five years with Cape Henry Collegiate will be remembered for years to come as she cemented her name in Varsity Girls Basketball program history collecting three 1st Team All-TCIS honors, including her 2019 recognition. Junior Nadia Norman contributed an exceptional shooting touch from beyond the arc, earning 2nd Team All-TCIS honors for her performance on the court. Senior captain Amberly Butler and senior Emily Ryan brought a competitive edge, winning drive, and unmatched leadership to the court throughout the season. While the Dolphins will miss the leadership from the 2019 senior class, the athletic lineup of returners featuring juniors Aleezah Adams, Nadia Norman, sophomores Olivia Zettervall, Izzy Schleifer, Paris Beale, and rising freshman Mackenzie White are poised to perfect their high-pressure defense in 2020.

SOUNDINGS | SUMMER 2019
The Dolphins returned to the mats in 2019 with Head Coach Julie Ramsey once again at the helm, leading a roster of one senior, four juniors, five sophomores, one freshman, and eight eighth-grade student-athletes. Behind Caroline Beaulieu’s perpetual positive disposition, Varsity Cheerleading brought energy and enthusiasm to the gym while complimenting the Winter Varsity Athletics. When off the mat, the Dolphins were not finished supporting Dolphin Athletics as the girls provided selfless assistance in TCIS and State Wrestling meets, as well as, cheering as fans for Varsity Swim and Indoor Track.
CHEERLEADING
Outfitted with a brand-new halftime routine, the girls filled the stands with energy and excitement nightly, performing with unwavering smiles and guided “Cape Squad” without fail for over twenty home basketball contests. Leading fan favorites such as, “Dolphin Rumble,” the girls’ relentless postivity elevated not only the fan experience, but also the athletes’ performances on the court, mats, track, and pool. Transitioning seamlessly into the 2019 season, the Dolphin roster grew significantly from the previous season, as Varsity Cheerleading welcomed ten student-athletes to the roster in Isabella Beggs, Abby Glenn, Jaycee Wilson, Olivia Tamburino, Grace Sawyer, Elizabeth Rachels, Natalie Nickles, Lizzie Hannah, Caitlin Gentry, and Michele Bergman. Returners Leah Bohannon, Gillian McCollum, Payton Snead, Katie Bouch, Milena Pulley, Madeline Ripa, Halle Speight, and Caroline Beaulieu helped mentor the new members, allowing for an easier transition for the incoming varsity athletes.
TEAM CAPTAIN
HEAD COACH Julie Ramsey Caroline Beaulieu
The future remains bright for Varsity Cheer as eighteen of the 2019 roster prepare for return in 2020. The Dolphins will bid farewell to senior captain Caroline Beaulieu as she graduates from the Cape Henry Collegiate ranks, but her contagious smile will motivate the Dolphins for years to come. Prepare for rising seniors Katie Bouch, Milena Pulley, Madeline Ripa, and Halle Speight to continue the excitement throughout the 2020 Winter Athletic season, leading a newly experienced core of student-athletes. Under first-year Cape Henry Collegiate Head Coach Bryan Rudolph and Assistant Coach Jennifer Paul, the Dolphins once again found success in the water throughout 2019. With senior captains Gabrielle Short and Kate Vittone leading the girls’ side and junior captain Sam Stanton on the boys', the Dolphins captured an outstanding nine top-three finishes across ten swim meets. Varsity Swim returned all but three athletes from the 2018 roster, and continued to improve with the 2019 additions making an immediate impact in the water. The Dolphins kicked off the season with the Woodberry Forest Relay Carnival, featuring over 100 swimmers in each event. The girls were off to the races with the Girls 100 Freestyle relay, comprised of Shannon Tadder, Addison Cox, Anna Buba, and Kate Vittone, finishing the relay in second place. Individually, the Dolphins’ Shannon Tadder completed the fourth place finish in the 25m breaststroke. On the boys’ side, captain Sam Stanton completed a fifth place finish in the 25m freestyle, and followed the performance with sixth place in the 25m butterfly. Astonishingly, eight athletes produced state qualifying times in the first meet of the season. Varsity Swim continued to excel in the following meet as the boys and girls teams each finished in second place. Leading the way once again, Kim Schooneman and Sam Stanton each took home first place in the 100 backstroke. Varsity Swim traveled to Suffolk with the final regular season meet of the season rapidly approaching. After numerous rewarding weeks of guidance in the water, the girls’ determination was immediately clear as they amassed a notable seven first place finishes. Kim Schooneman and Shannon Tadder combined to earn five individual first place finishes and combined with Addison Cox, and Kate Vittone for two first place relay finishes. Senior captain Vittone also contributed an individual first place finish for the Dolphins, taking the victory in the 100-yard Backstroke. With Varsity Boys (7th) and Varsity Girls (5th) finished with the TCIS Tournament, the Dolphins turned their attention to the VISAA State Meet. Highlighting the extraordinary day, Kim Schooneman cemented her name in Cape Henry Collegiate history as she broke Cape Henry Collegiate’s 50 Freestyle record with a time of 25.07, earning the highest overall finish for Varsity Swim. The Dolphins returned home with six top-25 place finishes, as the relay team of Gavin Cake, Robert Campbell, Zach Frey, and Sam Stanton accounted for two top-25 place finishes. Rounding out the State Meet, Robert Campbell also cracked the top 25 in his first season as he placed 16th in the 50-yard Freestyle.

Captains Kate Vittone and Gabrielle Short’s Cape Henry swim career came to an end with the VISAA State Meet’s conclusion. However, the duo of captains’ commitment to the program will be felt for years to come. Moving forward, the Dolphins will look to juniors Wyatt Cake, Robert Campbell, Addison Cox, Barrett Nickles, and captain Sam Stanton for leadership in 2020.

INDOOR TRACK HEAD COACH Jim Lancaster
ASSISTANT COACHES Dashiell Quasebarth Riley Young
TEAM CAPTAINS Claire Bingham Lexia Hann Ethan Jones Owen Richards
The Dolphins entered the second Indoor Track season with enthusiasm and excitement for the future of the program under the direction of Head Coach Jim Lancaster and Assistant Coaches Dashiell Quasebarth and Riley Young. Senior captains Claire Bingham, Lexia Hann, Ethan Jones, and Owen Richards returned to the track in 2019 after the inaugural season in 2018, continuing to lead a promising roster of phenomenal student-athletes. While the collective finishes would not reach the ceiling set by the 2018 roster, the individual performances surpassed expectations. Beginning the journey, senior captain Owen Richards continued to build upon his storied endurance career, amassing the gold in the mile with a time of 4:36, first in 1000m with a time of 2:42, and first in the 3200m run, all in the opening meet of the season. Senior captain Claire Bingham was off to a fast start also, as she grabbed second in the triple jump while setting a PR of 31'-6.5". With multiple weeks of practice under their belts, Varsity Indoor Track appeared to be rounding into form. The Boys produced their most impressive finish to date, taking second in the field of fourteen schools, while the girls equaled the boys to earn second in the field of thirteen. It was Owen Richards, once again, leading the way with first in the 1600m and 3200m runs. Senior John Ermini joined Richards with a gold medal in his first Indoor Track victory during the Triple Jump, setting a PR of 38’-2”. Senior Captain Lexia Hann continued the winning ways, earning an important win in the two-mile, setting a PR with a time of 12:32. Senior captain Claire Bingham dominated the 300m field for the second-straight meet, winning with a time of 44.0. The Dolphins faced two meets remaining in the season, and strived to prepare for the VISAA State Tournament with the final regular season meets underway. After a full night of running, sprinting, and jumping, both the Dolphins’ boys and girls programs finished third in the field of fifteen. Owen Richards captured his fourth gold medal in the 1600m, and a second gold in the 1000m. Carter Ward, Grant Shepherd, and senior captain Ethan Jones also captured top-three finishes on the day, while on the girls’ side, Claire Bingham amassed four top-three finishes individually. Bingham kicked off her night with a second place finish in both the Long Jump and the Triple Jump before taking to the track for a second place finish in the 55m dash and a third place finish in the 300m. Senior captain Lexia Hann rounded out the regular season with a runner-up performance in the 1600m. The season-finale State Tournament was highlighted by senior captains Claire Bingham and Owen Richards top-five finishes, with a fifth place finish in the Triple Jump and the silver in the 1600m, respectively. The Dolphins bid farewell to an exceptional core of seniors in Claire Bingham, Katie DiBona, Eva Dickie, John Ermini, Lexia Hann, Ethan Jones, Libby Kennedy, Taisho Miller, Charlotte Purkey, Owen Richards, Grant Shepherd, and Briggs Standing. However, the Dolphins will continue to build on the foundation the seniors leave behind with juniors Marco Benedetto and Brandon Midgette, as well as, sophomores Berk Alptekin, Nickolas Damuth, Zach Earl, Hannah Gunn, Ben Scott, Gary Sheng, and Carter Ward set to lead the Dolphins in 2020.

The Dolphins entered the 2019 season with nine seniors leading a Varsity Wrestling roster of twenty-eight student athletes. Coming off TCIS Regular Season and Tournament Championships in 2018, the Dolphins were expected to repeat in 2019 with a talented, athletic, and driven lineup led by Head Coach Jack Effner and Assistant Coaches Joe Harvich, Richard Hickey, Richard Kassir, and Robert Woodhouse. Senior Captains Tucker Bruner and Aedan Somers were tasked with leading the nearly thirty athletes throughout the daunting Winter Athletic Season. With Bruner and Somers leading exceptionally on and off the mat, the Dolphins once again captured the TCIS Regular Season and Tournament Championships before hosting the VISAA State Wrestling Tournament. Varsity Wrestling kicked off the season with three straight top-five finishes, highlighted by a first place team finish in the All-VISAA Invitational. The Dolphins compiled 218 points and finishing 66 points ahead of the second place school en route to the first place finish. Leading the charge, Colby Kassir, Jackson Kassir, Colin Sharp, Jack Simkins, and Aedan Somers all brought home gold in their respective weight classes. With the season rolling, the Dolphins swept TCIS Regular Season play with an average margin of victory of thirty points. The TCIS tournament began with the Dolphins entering as the top seed. Wrestling continued to build upon the lead as the day progressed, finishing 51 points over the conference opponents. The Dolphins boasted twelve top-three finishes, with Parker Tanner-Vigil, Aedan Somers, and Chris Parker each finishing as TCIS Champions. Remarkably, eighth-grade Chris Parker earned his first TCIS Championship before reaching the High School ranks. Aiding the Dolphins to victory, Tucker Bruner, Gianni Bezada-Schenone, Colby Kassir, Jackson Kassir, and Reed Truxell each brought home TCIS Runner-up honors. Facing the possibility of the final competition of the season, Varsity Wrestling would host the DI State Tournament on the Cape Henry Collegiate campus. As the two-day event came to a conclusion, the Dolphins captured a remarkable third place finish with exceptional individual performances scattered throughout the tournament. Earning the Dolphins’ highest finish and a bid to the National Prep Tournament, freshman Brendan Hawley brought home a fourth place finish as he continued to build an impressive Varsity Wrestling resume. Seniors Aedan Somers, Jackson Kassir, and Reed Truxell each wrapped up their Cape Henry Collegiate wrestling careers with fifth place finishes, while Colin Sharp wrestled his last match for the Dolphins en route to a sixth place finish. Rounding out the Tournament placements, Aiden Altamura, in his first State Tournament, placed eighth, while Colby Kassir wrapped up the tournament in fifth. The Dolphins will rebuild in 2020 with years of dedication and commitment from Tucker Bruner, Wouter Hekking, Jackson Kassir, Colin Sharp, Aedan Somers, Parker-Tanner Vigil, Reed Truxell, Logan Tucker, and Stock Watson graduating. However, juniors Colby Kassir and Sam Goshgarian will look to carry the Dolphins in 2020.
SOUNDINGS | SUMMER 2019
After last year's below-.500 season, the Dolphins bounced back in 2019. The Dolphins worked diligently throughout the offseason, preparing to build upon the depth of a talented roster while enjoying a sense of team comradery. Under the direction of Head Coach Tim Hummel and Assistant Coaches William Chadwick, Chris Dotolo, Ian Morrison, the Dolphins embarked on a rewarding but difficult schedule. After earning a 15-0 win in the season opener, the Dolphins faced the first real test of the season with a doubleheader against the perennial state tournament opponent Collegiate School. Senior captains Aiden Kuhle and Alex Gianascoli, along with the returning youth, provided Varsity Baseball with the spark it needed to make a run deep into the DI State Tournament. While the season fell short in the Semifinal of the DI State Tournament, the Dolphins are poised to make a run at the elusive DI State Championship for years to come. Through the opening third of the season, the Dolphins faced four perennial state contenders and boasted a 5-1 record through the first six games. The Dolphins continued the streak over the course of the next eight games, winning six of eight, including a win over Steward School (4-3) and Salem High School (3-2). Proven battle tested with an 11-3 record, the Dolphins faced a daunting TCIS schedule with four games in seven days. Cape Henry Collegiate was all but guaranteed the second seed in the tournament with wins over Norfolk Academy (4-1), Nansemond Suffolk Academy (6-3), and 2018 Champion Norfolk Christian (7-1), but fell to Greenbrier Christian Academy for the first conference loss of the season. The Dolphins’ hope for a regular season championship was still looming with one game remaining in the 2019 regular season. However, the Dolphins sealed the #2 seed after a loss to Walsingham Academy on the road. Varsity Baseball earned the home-field advantage with the second seed, and Kenny Schaedel’s grand slam finished the TCIS Quarterfinal in five innings over Norfolk Collegiate School.

The Dolphins’ win gave Baseball the second home TCIS Tournament matchup with the Spartans from Steward School. After winning two previous matchups in 2019, the Dolphins’ offense hit the breaks and were bounced from the conference tournament with a 2-0 loss. Despite the semifinal loss to the Spartans, Cape Henry Collegiate carried a 15-6 record to a fifth-place seed in the DI State Tournament. With senior standout Aiden Kuhle on the mound, the Dolphins only needed one to advance to the State semifinals. Senior captain Alex Gianascoli propelled the Dolphins forward, knocking in the eventual game-winning run and throwing out the tying run from right field for the final out of the night. While the Dolphins carried the momentum of an exciting win into the matchup with Benedictine, the Cadets’ explosive offense proved to make the difference.
TEAM RECORD 18-7
With senior captains, Alex Gianascoli (Lynchburg University) and Aiden Kuhle (Roanoke College), both moving onto the Collegiate ranks as student-athletes in the fall, the committed duo completed their storied Cape Henry Collegiate athletic careers after years of dedication to Varsity Baseball. 1st Team All-Tidewater, DI VISAA State Player of the Year, and TCIS Player of the Year, Aiden Kuhle wrapped up the season with mind-boggling statistics, accumulating a .583 ERA, 9-0 record, seven complete games, three shutouts, 75 strikeouts, and six walks. On top of his dominance on the mound, Kuhle boasted a .358 batting average with 20 RBIs and cemented his name among extraordinary company as one of the best to grace the Cape Henry Collegiate Varsity Baseball Team. Along with Kuhle’s 1st Team All-TCIS honors, junior Trent Jones and sophomore Kyle Edwards each earned 2nd Team All-TCIS. While the Dolphins will sorely miss the leadership and talents of Aiden Kuhle and Alex Gianascoli, Varsity Baseball boasts a strong cast of tremendous athletes including rising seniors Justin Belote, Trent Jones, and Dane Hoggard. With sophomores Cole Downs, Kyle Edwards, Aidan Graham, Bryce Jones, and Dylan McGruder, as well as, freshman Rush Friedberg, Brendan Hawley, Nate Hayes, Josh Holland, Neal Kezman, Justin Philbrick, and Kenny Schaedel, the Dolphins are loaded with talent excited and ready for what the future of Dolphin Baseball holds. Varsity Crew carried an experienced core of seniors and captains guiding a program mixed with even parts experience and newcomers under the guidance of Head Coach Willy Fluharty and Assistant Coaches Rebecca Schnekser and Harvey Williams. Captains Malia MacLeod, Carolyn Vanty, and Martin Salzberg brought years of knowledge, experience, and leadership to a roster featuring ten returners and fifteen student-athletes brand new to Crew. Despite an understandably slow start to the season, the Dolphins proved to be fast learners with three silver medals in the final regatta of the season. Varsity Crew competed in four races across the first regatta of the season, with three of the four Cape Henry Collegiate boats holding rowers competing for their first regatta ever. The results do not reflect the day’s success, as the Dolphins focused on learning proper rowing techniques with their sights set on the final Independent School Regatta on May 5. Entering the third regatta of the season with the second competition under their belts, Varsity Crew began to excel as the Men’s Lightweight Four of Martin Salzberg, Ben Schwantes, Mason Ehrenzeller, Carson Harrell, and coxswain Zach Healey finished first in their heat, earning a third-place overall finish. Not to be outdone, the Ladies Novice Four of Malia McLeod, Caroline Berman, Kate McCray, Charlotte Brown, and coxswain Peter Pan, finished second in their heat, falling short of first by a mere two seconds. The second place finish resulted in a fifth out of twelve overall finish. For the final regatta of the season, competing for the Independent School Regatta Championship, the Crew team hit the waters of Norfolk’s Botanical Garden and captured the second place overall finish as the regatta concluded. Leading the charge, the Men’s Lightweight of Martin Salzberg, Ben Schwantes, Mason Ehrenzeller, Carsen Harrell, and coxswain Zach Healey brought home the silver medal. Following suit, the Women’s Novice Four of Malia MacLeod, Kate McCray, Charlotte Brown, Caroline Berman, and Coxswain Carolyn Vanty also completed the race with the silver medal. Rounding out the tournament, the Men’s Novice team of Kaden Zeliff, Luke Scheuer, Drew Oliver, Gavin Cake, and coxswain Alexa Schwantes recorded the final second place finish. For the collective group’s efforts, the Dolphins received the efficiency award, which is awarded to the team with the highest scoring average per race entered.

TEAM RECORD 11-2
Varsity Golf returned all but one of the 2018 TCIS Championship roster and continued the exceptional play throughout the 2019 Spring season. Behind the leadership and steady scoring of captains Caleb Choe and James Tyler, and under the guidance of Head Coach Jon Corliss and Assistant Coach Kavin DeJesus, the Dolphins finished the extraordinary run with back-to-back titles in 2019. Cape Henry Collegiate’s nearly perfect season culminated with two losses by a combined two strokes and eleven wins in an average of 149 strokes between the four scorers. While the Dolphins fell just shy of the trifecta, Varsity Golf is poised to remain atop the TCIS in 2020 with a strong returning roster setting their sights on the DI VISAA State Championship. The Dolphins began the season with two wins over conference opponents Norfolk Collegiate and Norfolk Academy before falling to 2-2 on the season after losses to Collegiate School in a 152-152 tie-breaker and St Christopher’s School (166-164). From this point on, the Dolphins were in form as they completed nine victories all by ten strokes or more. Amongst the nine-game win streak, Varsity Golf earned crucial wins with implications on the TCIS and DI State final rankings. Most notably, captains James Tyler and Caleb Choe led the Dolphins over Steward School (141-156), as the pair each completed the round with a one-under, 35. With two additional wins over the next twelve days, Varsity Golf was once again led by Caleb Choe over Norfolk Academy (146-157), as Miller Carr and Reese Meyer joined Choe with an even-par, 36 to seal the TCIS Regular Season Championship. After finishing the TCIS Regular Season with a perfect record, the Dolphins unsurprisingly captured the second TCIS Tournament Championship in two years as Caleb Choe’s record-breaking five-under, 67 championed the win. The Dolphins’ nine-game streak and TCIS Championship earned the team the top seed in the DI State Tournament where each attending program competed throughout the full 18-holes, much like the TCIS Tournament. Battling rainy conditions, the Dolphins finished the day with fourth place honors in 2019. With exceptional play throughout the season, the senior captain duo each collected 1st Team All-TCIS and 1st Team All-State honors, while Choe also earned TCIS Tournament MVP and a TCIS Tournament record. Standout performers Reese Meyer and Miller Carr also earned 1st Team All-TCIS recognition for their extraordinary play throughout the TCIS Tournament. Caleb Choe and James Tyler plan to continue their successful golf careers in college. The Dolphins will miss the calm and collected leadership which garnered over 40 Medalist honors between the pair. In addition to the duo of senior captains, senior Jason Paphites’ career on Varsity Golf concluded with an energized mark left on the program. While the Dolphins look to fill the void left by the two top-scorers, the Dolphins have the makings of a State contender for years to come. The Dolphins will boast a lone senior in 2020 as Reese Meyer looks to take the reigns of the top-scorer. Rising junior Wiley Levine is poised for a breakthrough season as he continues to steadily improve throughout his career, and will join the rising freshman and sophomores Miller Carr, Davis Franta, Stella Johnson, and Ben Saunders in search of the TCIS and State Championship trifecta.

TEAM RECORD 11-10
Varsity Boys Lacrosse embarked on an arduous journey, filling the 2019 Spring Athletic season with perennial State Championship contenders. The Dolphins battled through the challenging schedule, reaching the TCIS Championship before earning a bid to the DI State Lacrosse Tournament. The battle-tested Dolphins may not have acquired the record the team anticipated in the offseason, but the journey in 2019 has the Dolphins prepared for any challenge in 2020. Led by Head Coach Joe Thompson and Assistant Coaches Greg Angilly, John Falvey, and Matt Rees, Varsity Boys Lacrosse fought to an 11-10 overall record. The Dolphins opened the season in North Carolina for the King of Spring Tournament, finishing the tournament with an 0-2 record and an abundance of experience against playoff caliber programs early in the season. The Dolphins returned to their home turf and began to play the level of lacrosse the coaching staff expected, defeating Flint Hill School (17-6) for the first win of the season. Leading the way, as was the case throughout the season, 2nd Team All-TCIS senior Colin Sharp poured in four goals and contributed three assists. The Dolphins now entered the most demanding stretch of the season, facing three of the top DI VISAA programs including a matchup with 2019 DI State Champion St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School. The Dolphins picked up one win against Benedictine (14-4) but fell to 2-4 on the season as TCIS play was set to begin. Varsity Boys Lacrosse earned wins over Norfolk Collegiate and Bishop Sullivan before breaking for a matchup with top-five DI seeded St. Christopher’s. The boys returned attention to the TCIS, rattling off wins over Hampton Roads Academy, Nansemond Suffolk Academy, and Steward School. With one matchup remaining on the season, Varsity Boys Lacrosse would play for the TCIS Regular Season Championship. The Dolphins ultimately fell in the contest, but would rebound with a quarterfinal win over Steward School (17-1). After a previous overtime win against the Saints, the Dolphins were firing on all cylinders with a win over Nansemond Suffolk Academy (13-3) in the semifinal matchup. With the final tournament game set to begin the TCIS Tournament Championship, Cape Henry Collegiate and Norfolk Academy met on the turf, trading goals throughout the first quarter. The Dolphins’ offense began to connect, scoring three straight to close out the first half with a 7- 4 lead. NA regained the lead in the second half and closed out the night with a win despite, 1st Team All-TCIS and 1st Team All-State senior captain Parker Tanner-Vigil’s admirable, seventeen save performance in the cage. The Dolphins would travel to St. Anne’s-Belfield for the DI State opening round and returned with a first round loss, but finished a remarkably difficult schedule with a sense of pride in the hard work put in throughout the season. The Dolphins bid farewell to fourteen seniors in Tucker Bruner, Cam Ciolfi, Ethan Jones, Marshall Joyce, Konrad Keenan, Martin Liang, Ryan Mancoll, Jack Praver, Colin Sharp, Grant Shepherd, Briggs Standing, Parker Tanner-Vigil, Logan Tucker, and Ethan Wolff. However, the Dolphins will rely heavily on a talented class of 2020 featuring All TCIS recipients, Carter Atherton, Brady Old, and Tyler Greason. Standout sophomore Aidan Rosenblum rounded out TCIS recognition after an incredible season with the Dolphins, earning 1st Team All-TCIS honors as the Dolphins will now use every minute of the offseason to prepare for 2020.

Varsity Girls Lacrosse returned to the turf in 2019 with a tremendously athletic and potent offense. Backed by a steady and experienced defense, the Dolphins finished the season in the DII State Tournament Finals led by the knowledgeable and experienced coaching staff of Head Coach Kim Dooren and Assistant Coaches Lauren Ey, Grace Kennedy, Sarah Rheinsmith, and Ashmore Standing '11. Guiding a talented future of the program, senior captains Claire Bingham, Lexia Hann, Libby Kennedy, and Madisen Patrick carried the team to a 12-6 overall record. The Dolphins needed no time to find the win column, swiftly defeating Nansemond Suffolk Academy (18-4) and Maury High School (12-6). Leading the charge for the Dolphins, the duo of senior captains and 1st Team All-State recipients Claire Bingham and Libby Kennedy combined to score an astonishing seventeen of the thirty goals. Cape Henry Collegiate finished the next five game stretch with a 3-2 record, including a conference win over Norfolk Collegiate (19-15). The Dolphins scored a season-high twenty three goals in the ensuing contest, as 1st Team All-TCIS and 1st Team All-State MaryGrace Fowler led the streaking offense with five goals. Fowler added another impressive performance, scoring seven goals two contests later in a win over Steward School (19-8). With two TCIS matchups remaining on the season, the Dolphins would battle the Saints and the Bulldogs for a shot at the second seed in the approaching TCIS Tournament. The Dolphins rode the hot-hand of Madisen Patrick to a 1-1 record, defeating Nansemond Suffolk (16-10) and falling to Norfolk Academy (13-18), where senior captain and 1st Team All-State Madisen Patrick and 2nd Team All-State Gini Kainer accounted for eleven of the Dolphin goals. The Dolphins earned the third seed in the TCIS Tournament, defeating the Saints (16-12) for the third time to advance to the semifinals. The Dolphins ultimately dropped the semifinal contest, but would gear up for the DII State Tournament as the second overall seed. The Dolphins would win two of the three contests, finishing as the DII Runner-up. The Dolphins bid farewell to the incredible leadership and talents of senior Claire Bingham, Eva Dickie, MaryGrace Fowler, Lexia Hann, Libby Kennedy, Madisen Patrick, and Charlotte Purkey, who tallied an impressive nine of ten postseason honors. Bingham and Patrick rounded out their stellar careers earning Academic All-American and 1st Team All-TCIS recognition due to incredible efforts on and off the turf. Alongside freshman All-State recipient Gini Kainer, the Dolphins will look to returning junior and sophomores Aleezah Adams, Mackenzie Dillon, Cameron Dodzik, and Charlotte Walsh to propel the Dolphins deep into the 2020 postseason.

Varsity Girls Soccer entered the 2019 season with a sense of enthusiasm after returning all but four of the 2018 roster. As the season progressed, the season quickly turned with numerous minutes left on the sideline due to season-ending injuries, Varsity Girls Soccer battled to a 7-8-2 record while providing Dolphin fans with a glimpse of the future of Varsity Soccer. Not to be outdone, senior captains Katie DiBona, Jamie Friedman, and Emily Ryan provided the Dolphins an experienced core of athletes to guide a team comprised of four eighth-grade, five freshmen, nine sophomore, and one junior student-athletes. Despite the voids due to injury, the opportunity arose for the Dolphins to finish league play with a top-five seed in the TCIS Tournament.
GIRLS SOCCER
Under the guidance of Head Coach Tina Lowry, as well as, Assistant Coaches David Liebig, Jeff Reinhofer, and Taylor Smith, Varsity Girls Soccer took another step forward after a 7-11-1 2018 finish. The girls kicked off competition with TCIS opponent Peninsula Catholic, as the youth of the Dolphins’ roster carried the team to the season-opening win. Now entering a difficult stretch in the schedule, Varsity Girls Soccer began to feel the effects of the injury-plagued roster as the Dolphins fell to 2-3-1 on the season. With the heart of TCIS play set to begin, the Dolphins collected five conference wins over Bishop Sullivan (2-1), Walsingham Academy (4-1), Steward School (4-0), Hampton Roads Academy (1-0) and Norfolk Christian (3-0). The Dolphins entered the TCIS Tournament as the fourth seed, where the Dolphins hosted the Crusaders from Bishop Sullivan for the quarterfinal matchup. Emily Ryan put the Dolphins on the board first with a blast from outside the 18, but the season came to an end as the Crusaders picked up two goals by the end of the night. Despite the loss, Varsity Girls Soccer provided crucial game experience to the youth of the roster. The Dolphins are poised to build upon the new-found depth in 2020 as the trio of senior captains leave their mark on the program.
ASSISTANT COACHES
Senior Emily Ryan earned 2nd Team All-TCIS honors in her final Cape Henry Collegiate season for her exceptional midfield play. Virginia Marquette joined Ryan, capturing 2nd Team All-TCIS in her first season with the Dolphins. Leading the way for the Dolphins through the season, Olivia Zettervall split time between the net and the field as she served as both a goalie and forward for the Dolphins. Her incredible versatility led to 1st Team All-TCIS and 2nd Team All-State honors in 2019. As the Dolphins bid farewell to senior captains Katie DiBona, Jamie Friedman, and Emily Ryan with gratitude for many years of commitment to Dolphin athletics, Varsity Girls Soccer will return a core of talented athletes excited to leave their mark on the conference. With Addison Cox as the lone senior, Olivia Zettervall, Chloe Mugler, Isabel Schleifer, Cassie Thompson, Caroline Fluharty, Julia Gnasso, Allie Johnston, Anna Buba, and Torie Orie will be called upon to help lead the Dolphins to the top of the conference standings in 2020.

With first-year Cape Henry Collegiate Head Coach, Rebecca Stone at the helm, the Dolphins entered 2019 with a drive and enthusiasm to improve daily. Varsity Softball was off to a tremendous start to the season as the girls raced out to a 3-4 record. Led by senior captain Amberly Butler and junior captain Rachel Moore, the Dolphins displayed signs of greatness to come with an energized roster of girls eager to improve their talent and skill. Joining Rebecca Stone, Assistant Coaches Raven Baytops, Ramona Dominguez, and Torance Press led the enthusiastic roster, providing a positive and rewarding environment for Varsity Softball. Comprised of two seniors, five juniors, two sophomores, one freshman, and two eight-grade student-athletes, the Dolphins’ improvements throughout the season were felt and heard throughout the athletic grounds despite the season’s record. The bats started off the season hot as the Dolphins took the first two games of the season over Norfolk Collegiate (5-2) and Peninsula Catholic (15-0). Varsity Softball faced the first loss of the season in the second matchup with the Oaks, but the offense keep them in the game. The girls carried the momentum into a win over Bishop Sullivan, winning 14-4 in the conference matchup. The record began to take a turn with the scheduling increasingly becoming more challenging. Varsity Softball battled through the arduous calendar, learning from each lesson along the way. While the girls were outscored, the offense continued to find its groove as the girls scored over 50 runs and surpassed the previous season’s run total. Despite the loss, the final regular season matchup against Atlantic Shores was heard throughout the campus as the exciting contest came down to the finish. The Seahawks struck first early in the game, but the Dolphins stormed back to tie the night. Atlantic Shores once again captured the lead in the fifth inning, but the Dolphins clawed back to tie the night 3-3 in the top of the final inning. In a heart-breaking loss to the Seahawks, the Dolphins conceded the final run in the top of the seventh inning but provided Dolphin Athletics with a thrilling contest. Varsity Softball drew a matchup with Norfolk Christian for the quarterfinals of the TCIS Tournament, and the season came to an end after the first round loss to a talented Ambassadors program. Senior standout and captain, Amberly Butler, left her mark on the program, leaving the Dolphins ranks as one of the best Softball athletes to grace the Cape Henry Collegiate hallways as she finished her illustrious High School career with 1st Team All-TCIS honors in 2019. Varsity Softball will also look to fill the void left by fellow senior Merry Jiang, as Jiang quickly found a home at third base and middle third of the batting order with the Dolphins. Returning to the diamond in 2020, captain Rachel Moore, as well as fellow juniors Madeline Ripa, Nadia Norman, Katie Bouch, and Allie Angelo will be called upon to lead the Dolphins next season.

Varsity Boys Tennis returned ten of eleven student-athletes from the 2018 roster and welcomed the talented eighth grader Grahame Brown and freshman Carter Oppleman to the courts as the Dolphins entered the 2019 Spring Athletic season. With Head Coach Jon Corliss and Assistant Coach Chris Armistead’s direction, captain Flynn Somers guided the Dolphins to a 7-5 overall record and a third-place TCIS Tournament finish. Entering the season with one senior, and a phenomenal Eighth-Grade student-athlete on the number one court, the Dolphins’ underclassmen demonstrated the future of Dolphin Varsity Boys Tennis to the area’s competition throughout 2019. After a season opening loss to perennial state contender Collegiate School, the Dolphins bounced back with two conference wins over Norfolk Collegiate (6-3) and Bishop Sullivan (9-0). After nearly ten days between competition due to inclement weather, the doubles court of Flynn Somers and Grahame Brown battled to the lone win in a loss to Norfolk Academy, shaking off the rust from the long layover. The Dolphins returned to form quickly, capturing two more conference wins over Walsingham Academy (9-0) and Hampton Roads Academy (8-1). Varsity Boys Tennis split the next four contests, earning conference wins over Peninsulas Catholic (9-0) and Nansemond Suffolk (9-0) with one match remaining in the regular season. The Dolphins took to the road and captured the third seed in the TCIS Regular season after defeating Norfolk Christian (8-1). In the TCIS Tournament, Nick Hubbard showed his grit as he battled on the number three court to become the lone Dolphin to reach the Finals. With a third place finish in the TCIS Tournament, Cape Henry earned a bid to the DI State Tournament to take on St. Christopher’s on the road. The Dolphins ultimately finished the season after the State quarterfinal loss, but gained valuable State and TCIS Tournament experience throughout 2019. The Dolphins anxiously await the future of rising freshman Grahame Brown, as he finished TCIS play with 1st Team All-TCIS honors in his first season with Varsity Boys Tennis. On the doubles court, Flynn Somers paired with Brown to finish the season with 1st team All-TCIS recognition. The Dolphins will miss the steady play and calm demeanor of senior Jared Gordon, but the Dolphins hold an optimistic outlook for 2020 with captain Flynn Somers, Grayson Barnes, Gianni Bezada-Schenone, Grahame Brown, Nick Hubbard, Carter Oppleman, Andrew Rachels, Byron Richards, Connor Smith, and Aiden Winfield set to return with intense and focused enthusiasm.

Varsity Track entered the 2019 season after winning a TCIS Championship in 2018. However, the Dolphins graduated two of the top three leading scorers, leaving a void needing to be filled. As always, the exceptional coaching of Head Coach Jim Lancaster and Assistant Coaches Dashiell Quasebarth and Grace Silipigni guided a roster of experience and greenness to a successful 2019 campaign. Numerous records were broken throughout the season as the Dolphins’ individual success continued throughout the season. Under the leadership of captains Caroline Beaulieu, Zach Earl, Owen Richards, and Carter Ward, Varsity Track not only excelled, but was left prepared for continued growth in both numbers and records for years to come. Varsity Track kicked off the season at Norfolk Academy, where the crew faced blustery conditions. Battling through the inclement weather, both the girls and boys teams finished fifth in the fifteen-team field. Senior Owen Richards led the charge with first place in both the 1600m and 3200m. Not to be outdone, senior Claire Bingham grabbed third in the 200m dash with a PR of 27.24. As the season progressed, the individual accolades continued to pour in. Varsity Track faced off against local competition in the Greenbrier Christian meet, where the boys team placed second in the twelve-team field and the girls team took third in the eleven-team field. The boys were off to the races as the 4x800m relay team of Carter Ward, Landon Clay, Josh Old, and Owen Richards kicked off the meet with a win. Richards returned to win the mile, while Danny Banister grabbed the win in the Long Jump, second in the Triple Jump, and second in the 100m dash. With limited time before the TCIS and State Tournaments, the Dolphins turned on the jets. The Track and Field teams continued to roll, putting up exceptional performances en route to two school records by Ben Scott and Danny Banister. In the same meet, the entirety of the girls roster combined to win seven of the 12 events in which they entered as Claire Bingham shined in wins in the 100m, 200m, 400m, and Long Jump. In record-setting performances, sophomore Ben Scott’s 110 hurdles time of 19.96 and senior Danny Banister’s leap of 19’-10” in the Long Jump allowed the Dolphins to renew the Cape Henry Collegiate Track record board. Continuing with the record-setting theme, the Dolphins entered the TCIS Tournament. The Dolphins continued to surpass expectations, finishing third on the boys’ side and fourth on the girls’. Danny Banister, breaking the record for the second time, earned a TCIS Championship with gold in the long jump and a Cape Henry Collegiate record leap of 21’-2.75”. Danny Banister’s second record of the day came with a 40’-7” leap en route to a TCIS runner-up Triple Jump Performance. Banister later teamed up with Ethan Jones, William Wei, and Carter Ward to earn the silver in another thrilling record-setting 4x100 relay performance of 46.35. Continuing to add to the Cape Henry Collegiate record board, Carter Ward set a new record in the discus with a throw of 95’-02”. Rounding out the TCIS Tournament and Cape Henry Collegiate records, seniors Claire Bingham and Gabriella Gianascoli teamed up with Hannah Gunn and Natalie Hubbard to take the gold in the 4x400 with a new record of 4:27.46.

Owen, continuing to expand on his lead throughout the race, became the first male Dolphin to win a DI VISAA individual track title with a Cape Henry Collegiate record mile-run of 4:24.68. The Dolphins will also look to fill the void of seniors Danny Banister, Caroline Beaulieu, Claire Bingham, John Ermini, Gabriella Gianascoli, Lexia Hann, Ethan Jones, and Briggs Standing, with a strong returning core that should propel the Dolphins back to the top of the TCIS in 2020.

Job Shadowing Day 2019 Job Shadow Day 2019 was another great success. We worked with local businesses, nonprofits, entrepreneurs and branches of government to place our junior class of students in fields of work that interest them. It was a wonderful day for Cape Henry Collegiate and our community; everyone came together to provide incredible experiences for our students. "I believe early exposure to the world of professional work will help our students to better understand potential career paths. It also allows the Hampton Roads community to meet our students and to see how impressive they are," said Dr. Chris Garran, Head of School. Dan Ryan ’89 hosted Fred Zhang ‘20 for a day of aviation. Fred and Dan were a match made in heaven as they both share a passion for flight. The dynamic duo toured Oceana Air Base, the FedEx loading ramp observing an Airbus A300 launching for Memphis, Tennessee, and Fred spent some time in the air traffic control tower at Norfolk International Airport that supports the communications for Elizabeth City, Naval Air Station Oceana, Norfolk Naval Station, and Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. Dawson Horvath '20 and Robert Campbell '20 were hosted by the Virginia Beach Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. Dawson and Robert met with a nurse practitioner and discussed the medical aspects of medications prescribed to individuals dealing with serious mental illnesses. They then toured the city’s Psychosocial Rehabilitation Service called Beach House and sat in on a wellness group. We cannot thank our Cape Henry Collegiate alumni, parents, and community supporters who came together to make Job Shadow Day happen. Your willingness to open your offices, shops, and practices to give our students a taste of the real world has left a long lasting impression for these rising seniors. Thank you for giving our students a day in your shoes!

On April 26, Cape Henry Collegiate welcomed Blake Burlage ’06, Peter Geier Levitt ’07, Coach Kristen Wheeler, Robert Knuth ’10, Paige Wheeler ’10, Terrell Allen ’10, and Ashmore Standing ’11 into the Athletic Hall of Fame. The night was filled with the celebration of athletic achievements at Cape Henry both past and present. Join us as we congratulate the latest class of inductees and celebrate where they have been and where they are going since their time at Cape Henry.
u
Blake Burlage '06 It has been said that “great players make great plays,” and Blake Burlage, Class of 2006, did just that throughout her four years as a varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse player. Competing in two team sports that place 11 players on the field at one time, a spectator could always find Blake immediately—she was the one up front, shoving goals into the net. Blake emerged as a force in field hockey during her sophomore year when she scored a hat trick in a thrilling state semifinal overtime victory, which ultimately led to the first-ever state championship title for a female team at Cape Henry Collegiate. She led the varsity team in scoring during her sophomore, junior, and senior years, finishing with 50 career goals and helping to lead her team to two state championship titles in three years. Blake was inducted into the Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Health Honor Society, Delta Chapter, in 2008, and graduated from Virginia Tech in 2011, with a Bachelor of Science degree in biological sciences.
u
Paige Wheeler '10 Pop culture frequently quips, “Can you dig it?” Paige Wheeler, with a wry smile, nods her head and answers, “Most definitely.” A three time All-State selection in volleyball, Paige can not only dig it, she can spike it and set it, too. A four-year starter for the Varsity Girls Volleyball Team, Paige and her talented teammates compiled an impressive 70-24 record, bringing home two consecutive trifecta seasons during which they were regular season champions, TCIS champions, and state champions. Paige’s athleticism, timing, and ferocious competitiveness puts her in the Cape Henry books as one of the all-time best outside hitters. Her CHC career stat line is stacked, and her list of accolades includes being recognized as All-State and All-TCIS three times each, while collecting both the TCIS and State Player of the Year honors in 2008. Additionally, the Virginian-Pilot gave Paige All-Tidewater nods in her junior and senior seasons.

Coach Kristen Wheeler The name Kristen Wheeler is synonymous with field hockey at Cape Henry Collegiate. Leading the program for 15 illustrious seasons between 2003-2017, Kristen cemented herself as arguably one of the most successful coaches in Dolphin athletics history. Kristen’s astounding record of 215-72-14 includes five state championships, three TCIS tournament championships, and two TCIS regular season championships. Those marks earned Kristen four TCIS Coach of the Year awards. As impressive as her on-field success is though, Kristen’s legacy is best measured by the impact she had on the lives of student-athletes at Cape Henry and beyond. Kristen’s success will live on at Cape Henry in the form of banners and record books, but more importantly, it will live on in her alumni who forge accomplished careers and happy family lives thanks in part to the strong foundations that Kristen developed in her students during their years at Cape Henry.
u
Terrell Allen '10 Standing at an imposing 6’6” in height, Terrell Allen, or T.O. as his friends call him, had always been a “big man on campus.” But his good-natured spirit and warm, friendly smile signaled to onlookers that Terrell was not only approachable, but also willing to lend a helping hand. A big hand. A hand that easily palmed a basketball and spiked a volleyball. Arriving at Cape Henry for his freshman year, T.O. quickly began to hold court as he easily made friends and involved himself in the community. His biggest impact, though, was in athletics, where his presence on the court—both volleyball and basketball—helped lead CHC to four TCIS championship titles during his reign. Revered by his peers, T.O. served as the SCA president, was named captain of both the volleyball and basketball teams, and was voted most athletic for Senior Superlatives. At the close of his CHC athletic career, he received the Patrick Foley Male Athlete of the Year recognition. T.O. went on to play four years of basketball at Central Connecticut State University where he graduated with a degree in broadcast journalism. Continuing his love of the game, T.O. served as an assistant basketball coach at Hampden-Sydney College, followed by a year in China as the basketball program director for Rush Young Sports.
u
Peter Geier Levitt '07 Pete Levitt, Class of 2007, was a force for Cape Henry athletics. During his time at CHC, Pete was known for his imposing power on the pitching mound, slugging strength from the plate, and his ownership of the boards on the basketball court. Size, brawn, and toughness were his trademarks; yet Pete, in typical Cape Henry fashion, could also be found on the stage looking dapper in his tuxedo and performing flawlessly with the chorus. Pete was in the starting pitcher rotation, held down the hot-corner at third base, and was usually slated for the clean-up position in the batting order. His skill set helped keep the team in the win column while his ability to crack a joke during intense times kept his teammates loose. During his four years on the varsity team, Pete earned Checkered Flag Athlete of the Week, Verizon Athlete of the Month, 1st Team All-TCIS, and 2nd Team All-State honors. Pete’s senior year culminated with an exciting first-ever TCIS Championship title and a state finalist finish. Recognized for hurling fast balls from the mound and slugging home runs from the plate, Pete’s baseball career continued at the collegiate level where he was a scholarship player at Pitt Community College and at Mount Olive. After three collegiate seasons, one in which he pitched six hitless innings during the Division III World Series, Pete was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. For five years, Pete served as a right-handed pitcher for professional teams in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, North Dakota, New Jersey and Kentucky.

Robert Knuth '10 Some would say that the Robert Knuth was born to swim. Humbly, Robert would argue that he was born for a life beyond the pool. Breaking records and leading the swim team to historical finishes is a big part of Robert’s story, but the unabridged version includes his role as a faithful leader to a cause greater than his individual accomplishments. The unique aspect of the backstroke always lured Robert to that event, but his whole perspective changed when he won the 50 freestyle during the TCIS Championship meet his senior year. Dropping 1.5 seconds from his personal best time, Robert broke a 13-year conference record and garnished All-American status with a time of 21.22; a time that also stands as a CHC record. During Robert’s tenure, he was surrounded with talented teammates who helped bring home two more CHC records, this time in the 200 Medley Relay (1:38.42) and the 200 Freestyle Relay (1:27.54). While Robert dominated the pool in Upper School, he says his most transformative years unfolded at Washington and Lee University. Although he tediously worked to shave time from his events, his performance plateaued causing him to question his path, ultimately leading to his faith in Christ. His collegiate career started with NCAA title aspirations, but turned into a lesson of life-giving mercy. In 2014 Robert graduated from Washington and Lee with a Bachelor of Arts in religion and in German, and after marrying his wife Katherine in 2016, he began coursework for his Master’s of Divinity degree at Reformed Theological Seminary.
u
Ashmore Standing '11 Just how fast is lightning? About as fast as Ashmore Standing. Pure speed…quickness…agility. Yes, there are differences between speed, quickness, and agility; but it made no difference to Ashmore. She mastered, interchangeably, all three. A member of the Class of 2011, Ashmore entered Cape Henry Collegiate in her sophomore year and hit the ground running. Her full-throttle, catch-me-if-you-can style of play allowed her to break away from the competition on both the varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse fields. Playing midfield in lacrosse and center forward in field hockey, Ashmore’s incredible athletic ability netted her TCIS Player of the Year honors in both sports—an extraordinary achievement. Ashmore’s reign of dominance carried over to her college career when she suited up for the Lady Monarchs at Old Dominion University. During her senior season, Ashmore broke ODU’s record for most goals in a season with 67, and she was ranked in the NCAA top 10 for the same category. Adding to her arsenal of awards, she was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year and the Virginia Sports Information Director Player of the Year. She help lead ODU to their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance and was selected as an All-American.

Virginia Tech’s 2019 Family of the Year award was presented to Kristy Morrill after being nominated by her niece Katie Atherton ’18. A cancer diagnosis and devastating loss brought the family closer together. Kendra Atherton, Katie's mom and Kristy's sister, was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and lost her life just five months later. Kristy Kristy Morrill with her niece Katie Atherton '18. became a constant in the life of her nieces and nephews. She bought a waffle maker to continue her sister’s tradition of making chocolate chip waffles, went to their Cape Henry games, and danced the "Wobble" with Katie at her prom. Atherton credits Morrill with helping her get involved on campus at Virginia Tech and showing her what it means to be a Hokie. The family organizes a 5K run in Virginia Beach each year to raise scholarship money for students in Virginia’s Tidewater region who have lost a parent to cancer.
uAlumni Career Day On Friday, February 22, our junior and senior classes participated in Cape Henry’s annual Alumni Career Day. Keynote speaker, Dr. Brielle Paolini ’06 presented a poem titled, "Hero’s Journey" inspired by mythologist Joseph Campbell. Brielle told the students they are all on their own version of a hero’s journey. Brielle graduated from Cape Henry in 2006 and went on to William and Mary on a golf scholarship. Being one of the first females to play on the CHC golf team, Brielle quipped, “Cape Henry teed me up for everything.” Brielle spoke about finding and leaning into your passion as well as finding mentors. She spoke fondly of her Cape Henry mentors, specifically Mr. Warden and Mrs. Racine. She went on to discuss how to stay on track when you have setbacks or temporary failures. The last section of her poem reflected on giving back. After you’ve followed your passion, worked hard, tackled hardships, and gained wisdom, “How can you make society better because you lived?” she rhetorically asked the audience. After her keynote speech, Brielle was joined by nineteen fellow alumni as breakout speakers for our students. Juniors and seniors were able to pick three career topics they were interested in and learn more about the career paths of engineering, construction, nonprofit, international business, health and medicine, sales and marketing, real estate, law, banking, business, event planning and design, aviation and military, medical research, and e-commerce. It was a great day for CHC students and alumni!

ANNOUNCING THE
Patricia and Avraham Ashkenazi Nexus Global Education Center It is with great pleasure that we announce the naming of the Patricia and Avraham Ashkenazi Nexus Global Education Center. The Ashkenazis established an endowed fund, of the same name, which will provide need-based financial assistance for Nexus Global Studies programs. Their love and support of Cape Henry is because of their granddaughters, Laura Zettervall ‘18 and Olivia Zetterval ‘21. Patricia passed away on May 9, 2019, following a battle with cancer. Thank you to the Ashkenazi family for their generosity and commitment to global education.
