This year was barely the third year in which this Sportsmanship Festival has taken place. Twice before it had been hosted in Costa Rica.

This “fellowship” event that serves as a platform for establishing friendships with boys and girls from other bilingual schools throughout Central America.

It is a “non-competitive” event which stresses values such as sportsmanship, respect, honesty, in the hopes that these friendships can flourish in the years to come. The student athletes were distributed to new groups, creating integrated teams that played basketball, volleyball, soccer and track withing their gender categories.

Even the different coaches from the participating schools were assigned new teams to coach and get acquainted with.

In April’s monthly Middle School Assembly, our Athletic Director, Mr. Wilmer Miralda, handed out certificates of appreciation to all the volunteer ushers for the Middle School Sportsmanship Festival.

It was their thoughtfulness and hard work that made our guest schools feel more at home.

This year’s AASCA VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT was hosted by Escuela Internacional Sampedrana.

Twenty bilingual schools from all of Central America gathered in San Pedro Sula for these four days of competition.

The AST Athletic Director, Ing. Wilmer Miralda, welcomed all the guests and invited them to a delicious meal.

ON TUESDAY, MAY 22ND, A SELECT GROUP OF STUDENT ATHLETES WERE HONORED DUE TO THEIR CHARACTER AND ATHLETIC ABILITIES. WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS GATHERING, THE COACHES WERE GIVEN GUIDELINES WHICH THEY UTILIZED TO COME TO THEIR NOMINATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT SELECTIONS. ALTHOUGH MANY STUDENT ATHLETES EARNED RECOGNITIONS DUE TO THEIR CONTIRBUTION TO THEIR TEAM AND OUR SCHOOL, ONLY THOSE WHO MET THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AND RECEIVED THE HIGHEST SCORES WERE SELECTED TO WIN INDIVIDUAL AWARDS. WE ENCOURAGE OUR ATHLETES TO KEEP GIVING THEIR ALL BOTH AS STUDENTS AND AS ATHLETES. ONLY THROUGH GREAT SACRIFICES CAN GREATNESS BE ACHIEVED.

THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT HAD A SPECIAL PRESENTATION AND PARTING GIFTS FOR OUR SENIOR 2018 ATHLETES. WE ARE SAD TO SEE THEM GO, BUT VERY PROUD OF ALL THEIR EFFORTS IN MAINTAINING GOOD GRADES WHILE MANAGING THEIR ATHLETIC REQUIREMENTS. SENIOR, JORGE CALLEJAS, WAS ASKED TO SAY A FEW WORDS IN NAME OF THE GRADUATING CLASS. JORGE WAS CAPTAIN OF THE BASKETBALL TEAM AND HE ENCOURAGED THE YOUNGER STUDENT ATHLETES TO GIVE THEIR 100% AT ALL TIMES.

MR. ERNESTO ROSALES, THE HEAD TRACK & FIELD COACH, STARTED OFF THE AWARD PORTION OF THE CELEBRATION. ALTHOUGH THIS YEAR AST DID NO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRACK AND FIELD AASCA HELD IN GUATEMALA, WE INVITED THOSE STUDENT ATHLETES WHO DID AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AT HE 2017 ABSH, BECAUSE IT IS CERTAIN THEY WOULD HAVE REPRESENTED AST VERY WELL, HAD OUR SCHOOL PARTICIPATED.

What’s New in our Department? THE EAGLES’ MULTIPURPOSE ROOM

As of this past March, the Athletic Department now counts with a multipurpose room. It has come in very handy as an Event Lounge, and staff meeting room and we will be using this for team meetings as well.

What’s New in our Department?

The Athletic Department in conjunction with Por Salud, have now provided our Eagles with an improved heath support equipment:  Stalked Ice Machine  Oxygen tank  Inflatable immobilizers  Back board

What’s New in our Department?

Thanks to our friends at Pepsi Corp, our athletes can now keep themselves hydrated and dry. We appreciate our Advancement Department for facilitating this generous donation.

It is a bitter sweet moment when you have to see our twelfth grade student athletes graduate and move on to the next stage of their lives.

We are very proud of our student athletes for all they have accomplished. Being able to balance the demands of being a successful student and a dedicated athlete is not an easy feat.

Thank you Senior Athletes 2018 for all your contributions to our Athletic Program and best of luck with your future endeavors.
