News & Notes Quiz Bowl news
Fall middle school production of Oliver Jr. that had three sold-out shows!
Inspiring athletes
Since Coach Hillary’s time, there was a sign in the locker room, shown below, that inspired generations of athletes as they made their way to the playing fields. The sign was lost during the renovation, but it was replaced with big lettering on the wall between the varsity locker room and weight room. When our athletes compete, they “bring honor to us all.”
The Upper School Quiz Bowl team competed in their first tournament of the year in Shreveport. Team A finished second with Andrew Kosel ’28, Bennett Tschoepe ’26, Christian Oh ’26 and Drew Durgin ’26. They were undefeated in the preliminaries but lost a tense and exciting final matchup. Team A qualified for both national tournaments. Byron Duhé ’25, Rishabh Rengarajan ’25, Joe Schulz ’26 and Dhruv Gohel ’28 brought home a fourth-place finish for Cistercian’s Team B. Individual awards went to Duhé (fourth) and Roman Jeffery ’28 (fifth). Four additional team members finished in the top twelve: Durgin (sixth), Gohel (ninth), Oh (ninth), and Kosel (twelfth). At the first Middle School Quiz Bowl Tournament of the year, Cistercian A (Ewan Dilley ’29, Markham Hay ’29, Enrique Mosothoane ’29, Knox Shurley ’29, and Bob West ’29) finished fourth and qualified for the National MS Tournament in Chicago. Dilley was ranked fourth out of 56 competitors.
New perimeter fence
Work was completed recently on the installation of a perimeter fence around campus. The fence runs along the eastern and western boundaries of Cistercian’s property and along the Hwy 114 access road to further limit access to campus and increase security. Perimeter fence shown in red. Cross country course indicated by dotted lines.
