2010 THS Swim Team Food Drive

The TH South Swim Teams, for the 5th year in a row, spent their Halloween collecting canned food for charity. The first year the teams collected 750 lbs. This year, 4,652 lbs. During last year's event, which raised over 5,100 lbs, Catholic Charities shared this reality; to feed those currently in need this food would last five days. To date, the teams have collected and contributed more than 18,000 lbs of food to the needy.

PS: This is a competition as well. In the end, the boys ended up losing to the girls. The losing team gets to make breakfast for the winners following a Saturday morning practice in the near future.

Score: Boys team, 102.3 lbs collected/swimmer - Girls team, 103.4 lbs collected/swimmer

2010 IHSAA XC State Championship

The Lavern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course

Terre Haute, Indiana

5k, 200 runners, 24 teams.

Down the front staight.

In the final 200m, carnage befalls the brave.

In the end, it was a great day. The team is young, 3 seniors, 2 sophomores, and 2 freshmen. They ran well on a very windy day against the best Indiana has to offer. Certainly an awesome experience for a freshman. While Jack was 35 seconds off his personal record, he had his best time on the Lavern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, home of the NCAA Division I Championships.

By the numbers:

Time: 18:22.3 (PR 17:47.0 - 2010 Brown County Regional)

One of 7 freshmen competing in the State Finals.

5th place finish among the freshmen, and 180 overall.
