The St. Michael Senior Boys volleyball team added more hardware to their collection as they captured the silver medal at the Dalhousie Invitational tournament in Halifax, Nova Scotia this thanksgiving weekend. The boys started the tournament with a solid win over the defending champions from Clarinville, NFLD. The following match was equally as challenging as the Mustangs took on last season’s Provincial champions from Nova Scotia, Sommet High School. The Mustangs surprised Sommet High and took the match in two straight sets. After defeating Parkview High School in the third match of the day, the Mustangs finished 3-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals against a AAA school: Cobequid Educational Center from Truro, Nova Scotia. The Mustangs dispatched of CEC in two straight sets and met Colonel Grey High School from Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island in the semi-finals. The St. Michael crew was firing on all cylinders and won decisively 25-14 and 25-15 to set up a rematch with the club team from Newfoundland. In the finals, Clarinville exacted a little revenge by defeating the Mustangs to repeat as tournament champions. Coach Angus MacDonald was very proud of how the Mustangs represented St. Michael and would like to congratulate James Murray and Shawn Kingsbury who were selected as tournament All Stars.
On Thursday October 10, St. Michael's hosted their annual Turkey Trot cross country meet and our grade seven and eight students surpassed all expectations as each runner accomplished their personal best run. The day started with an exceptional finish from Steven Vichos, followed by Ryan Bonfield, Luke Hiyazaki and Kyle Meisenheimer, leading the grade seven boys to a first place finish. The grade seven girls did not disappoint. A strong first place finish by Vesta Mourato (who brought home the turkey), followed by Madison Meisenheimer second, Kaitlyn Dawson and Emily Cochrane a few steps behind, resulted in another gold for St. Michael's. Tatiana Weissflog, stronger than ever, lead the grade eight girls, along with Danielle Charland, Rhys Brown and Dominique Charland to finish first in the grade eight girl category. As for the grade eight boys, they showed great improve-
ment, finishing third overall with Seth Pitre in the lead, followed by Dawson Maisonneuve, Liam Ford and Jed Brownrigg. Over 40 grade seven and eight students joined the St. Michael's Cross Country team this year and attended five meets in total. Our athletes demonstrated constant sportsmanship towards themselves and fellow runners from various schools. Our LGESAA championship was help on October 17, and St. Mike's did not disappoint. Our grade seven boys as well as our grade eight girls captured the gold medal. Our grade eight boys took home the silver medal. Our grade seven girls suffered a setback and had to settle for fourth. Each and every runner on the team had a huge role to play on our success this season. Congratulations goes out to TISS (Thousand Islands Secondary School) who came in first place overall in the grade 7 & 8 category.
