ON CAMPUS
ATHLETICS SENIOR ATHLETE OF THE YEAR Haylee Klingler
Spring Sports Unfortunately the Spring Sport Season was cut short due to safety measures imposed as a result of COVID-19, but it was off to a great start prior to the shutdown.
GYMNASTICS- With 9 girls, the squad was looking forward to a good year. LACROSSE- Varsity was off to an impressive 2-1 record with wins against 2 upper division WBAL teams, and coaches felt they had a strong chance to win the Skyline Division. With 24 on the roster, the team is poised to again be a force next year.
SOFTBALL- The defending league champs, the team once again looked to the conference title and to qualify for the CCS playoffs for the 5th consecutive year. They played 5 games for a 3-2 record vs. strong competition.
SWIM & DIVE- In the one meet of the season, multiple girls won individual heats and several relay teams showed midseason form. With 24 team members, the team is poised to be very strong next season. For the first time since 2015, Mercy was able to field a dive team. Though they did not compete prior to the shutdown, all 4 girls worked extremely hard and plan to return next season. TRACK & FIELD- The girls scored many impressive marks at Serra’s dual meet prior to the shutdown, despite it being so early in the season. The coaches look forward to a strong nucleus of 22 athletes returning next year. Many thanks to all of our athletes for their commitment and desire to be part of our spring sports teams. We are very appreciative of your efforts! We are especially proud of our Spring Senior Athletes in how they carried themselves with grace and maturity when their senior year sports experiences were cut short. Thank you for being wonderful models to the rest of the school!
Haylee came to Mercy barely 5 ft tall and today stands nearly 5ft 10in. Her growth, not only physically but in her overall level of play, is what makes Haylee such a special athlete. She played 5 different sports while at Mercy: Soccer 4 years, Volleyball 3 years, Track & Field 2 years, Lacrosse 2 years, and Tennis 1 year. Haylee has always been a team player. Never one to complain, she always put her team first, and her leadership could be seen on every team she was a part of. Haylee played middle and outside hitter for Mercy’s Varsity Volleyball team that went to CCS play-offs. Her athleticism on the court could always be counted on for a kill or a needed block at the net. Haylee’s speed and strength allowed Mercy Soccer coaches to play her on both front and back lines. She played every game this 2020/21 season, and finished with 10 goals highlighted by a hat trick. Her efforts were rewarded as she was named Honorable Mention All-League in the WBAL’s competitive Foothill division. This spring, Haylee was off to an incredible start with our lacrosse team before the season was cut short. She scored 21 goals and 3 assists in the first 3 games. Congratulations, Haylee! The recognition is well deserved.
