“We gave them a challenge to get 2nd after disqualifying in a relay at districts, and they ran with it,” said Coach Stephanie Donley. “This showed what strong young ladies and fighters they are.” Miranda Donley ’17 won the 50 and 100 freestyle, setting two school records in the process. Miranda was also awarded the Ohio High School Swim Coaches Association “Performance of the Meet” for her swim in the 50 freestyle. Before the state competition, the team won the Central District Championship, the team’s fourth consecutive time taking that title, and Coach Stephanie Donley was named Central District Coach of the Year.

Did you know that more than 60% of CSG Middle and Upper School students play a CSG sport? In February, the CSG Community acknowledged those students and other girls and women as we celebrated “National Girls and Women in Sports Day” with a variety of events on campus. One of the special events was during the February 7th Upper School Varsity Basketball game. CSG was victorious over Columbus Academy with a score of 40-25. During halftime, the athletics department recognized current student-athletes who are state qualifiers and state champions.
