Congrats to Cross Country!
The Varsity boys brought home the team trophy. They were first out of ten teams represented. We had five boys place top ten out of about 100 runners. Hudson McDiarmid placed 5th, Jadon Cunningham was 6th, Brooks Coan was 8th, JD Halstead was 9th, and Jaland Upshaw was 10th. This is the varsity boys second year in a row to win this meet, and this is two weekends in a row that they came home with the first place trophy.
The Varsity girls were lead by Melanie Miller with a 16th place finish and Alivia Zartuche was 16th.
The Junior girls were lead by freshmen Alexa Dewey and Addy Taylor to a 3rd place finish out of over 10 teams. Alexa was 11th overall, and Addy was 13th.
The Junior boys finished 5th out of 10. They were lead by 8th grader Austin Richard who placed 16th, 7th grader Nic Harvey at 22nd, and freshman Edwin Gonzalez at 30th.

Yesterday, the Leadership and Service Class participated in a campus clean up activity. Thanks, EHS scholars, for keeping our campus beautiful!
On Tuesday, the EHS Softball team used their workout time to remember 9/11. In what they called their "9/11 Hero" workout, Coach Samantha Schweickhardt said, "they pushed each other HARD, since they knew their struggle was nothing compared to the dedication and sacrifice of the men and women that day. When each finished, they made sure to stay outside to support the rest of the their team. Everyone finished in great time! Fastest time: 11 min 32 sec."
In order to commemorate the 2997 people that died on 9/11, they did the following:
2 laps around the top of the basketball arena
9 push-ups
9 squats
7 sit-ups
x 4 rounds!
One of the best things about this workout, neither Coach S or the girls bragged about their work. A parent mentioned it, and we asked Coach S to share with us what they did. There are so many amazing things going on throughout EHS, and we are happy to share when we can!
Can't wait to see ya'll on the field this spring, Softball Cats! Your spirit and determination is sure to light up the field!

Check out Emma Gaul, 9th grader, and Addie Gaul, 5th grader, supporting their brother, Noah Gaul, Class of 2018, in their Coastal Carolina shirts! Noah has been evacuated due to Hurricane Florence, so it only seemed fitting to wear CCU shirts today!
We love your support, Gaul family! Our thoughts are with Noah and all those in the path of the hurricane!
