Senior Tigers Update: May 9, 2019

TIGHT ULTIMATE IN OTTAWA AT NATIONALS
Ultimate is our most popular spring sport with 52 girls from Grades 8-12 playing on four ultimate teams. YHS combines with St. George’s for this co-ed sport. When you combine Tigers and Knights you get “TIGHT”. Our TIGHT teams include two Junior (Gr. 8-10) level teams and two Senior (Gr. 11-12) level teams. The teams have been busy competing in our local league and some teams have attended some weekend tournaments.

Varsity TIGHT travelled to Burlington, WA to compete at one of the largest tournaments in North America, Spring Reign. This past weekend, our Varsity TIGHT Team travelled to Ottawa, ON to compete at high school Ultimate Nationals at Carleton University.

Ultimate playoffs for all levels are coming up in May.

SENIOR SOCCER UPDATE
Our Senior Soccer team has a very young roster with many players in Grades 8-10. Despite the youth movement in Soccer, the Tigers won their season opener against West Point Grey Academy (WPGA) 4-2 and beat St. Pat’s. The Tigers had hard-fought losses to Notre Dame, Crofton House (CHS), and St. Thomas More Collegiate (STMC). Tigers Soccer also travelled to St. Michaels University School (SMUS) in Victoria for ISAs placing 4th overall. Soccer season wraps up this week with the Tigers facing WPGA in playoff action.

BADMINTON UPDATE
Our Tigers Badminton team had a busy April playing league matches and competing at ISAs. The Tigers enjoyed league victories over St. Pat’s, Stratford Hall, and St. John’s and had hard-fought losses to Little Flower Academy (LFA) and CHS. At ISAs, our Tigers won bronze medals with a win over Southridge.

TRACK & FIELD UPDATE
Our Senior Track & Field team has had a busy April training and competing at four league mini meets at Swangard Stadium. This week, our Tigers have been competing at our LMISSAA Zone Championship Meets at Swangard. Top athletes at our Zone meet qualify for the BC Championships.

Junior Tigers Update: May 2, 2019

GRADE 5 ULTIMATE
The Grade 5 Ultimate team continues to practise every Monday and Wednesday during the lunch hour break. The team, coached by Ms. Winston and Ms. Garcia, even played their first set of games. The girls are thoroughly enjoying themselves and are learning the basic throws as well as being immersed in the “spirit of the game”.

GRADE 6/7 ULTIMATE
Our Grade 6/7 Ultimate team is working very hard each week, and has some talented players showcasing their excellent skills during recent games. Just around the corner is the ISEA Tournament, where the girls will look to elevate their spirit and play to equal that of some of the more experienced teams.

GRADES 3- 7 TRACK & FIELD
Our Track & Field team has come away from two competitions looking as strong and as capable as ever. Each grade level has a multitude of keen athletes, some of whom are striving to set new school records. It is not an easy task as our records, like acid wash jeans and big hair, go way back. More importantly, there are also many highly coachable girls who are working towards setting new personal bests each and every time they compete. Our hats off to all of the girls who put themselves into the competition arena. The results of the VOC Elementary T&F Meet on April 12 and 13 can be found here, and the results of the Vancouver Elementary Schools T&F Championships at UBC held on April 25, can be found here. Congrats to all of the girls for getting off to a great start. Our next event is the annual Grade 3 Mini Meet at CHS on May 8. Go Tigers!
