For the second time ever, area school golf teams from all divisions (4A to 1B) met at Kalispel Golf and Country Club to decide who was the top dog in our area.  The one-day Regional Tournament featured players from Mead, Gonzaga Prep, Ferris, Mt. Spokane and all over the Spokane area.  The weather was fantastic and so was the golf -- see a Photo Gallery of images from the day.

Patrick McCarthy showed he can hang with the top golfers in town, shooting a 4 over par 76 and finishing tied for 8th out of more than 100 golfers.  "He beat players headed to Division 1 colleges and made a major statement for the smaller schools in town," said coach Brad Kirsch.  In addition, Patrick led our boys' team, made up of Nate Henning, Nick Henning, and Luke Whitman, to a 12th place team finish out of more than 20 schools.  It was a great end to a surprising season in which our varsity team, made up mostly of 1st or 2nd year players, had a lot of success.  Nate Henning shot a career best round of 102.  Carol Wolff also competed as an individual at regionals and finished in the top 50.  "She showed so much improvement over the course of the season and my only wish was that she would have started her golf career sooner!" said coach Kirsch.

The 2021 track and field season culminated with a 2nd place finish at the District 7 2B Championships at Ritzville on Thursday, May 13.  Several senior athletes posted some outstanding victories.  Led by Kyley Doughty's triple victories in the 100, 200, and 400 meters, the SGS boys finished a strong second to overall winner Davenport.  Chaitanya Nalluri took second in the 100 meters and raced to victory in the 300 hurdles.  Strong performances by Nico Morales in the javelin (2nd place at 139'7') and Nic McIndoe (4th place at 133') added points to the team score.  Kelsey Doughty placed in the high hurdles and was 6th in the high jump.   Then Nico Morales tripled jumped to a lifetime best 36'11" for 5th place.  

In the relay races, Kyley, Chaitanya, Jack Morris and James Gunn took 2nd in the 4x100, while Jack, James, Steph Pan and Max Rickard won the 4x400.  Great work, Dragons!  See all the results from Districts at https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/428591/results.  

The Dragon women finished 1st overall, tying with Asotin for the District 7 track & field title.  Senior Reagan Ivey ran 1:00.13 to win the 400 meters.  Fair Niven and Reagan finished 1st and 2nd in the 100 meter race, and Margreit Galow joined them in the top five of the 200 meter race.  Maggie McLaughlin and Georgia Steele were 1st and 2nd in the 800 meters and finished 4th and 5th in the 1600 race.  Senior Cambrie Rickard ran strong legs on the State-leading 4x100 relay (1st place with Reagan, Margreit & Fair) and the 4x200 relay (2nd with Georgia, Beth Swartzwelder & Maggie).  And Georgia, Margreit, Fair & Maggie captured the 4x400 title.  Margreit also threw the javelin 89'9" for a personal best and 2nd in district.  Congratulations, Dragons!  See all the results from Districts at https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/meet/428591/results.

For P.E. one day, some of the 6th graders played Lacrosse on the soccer field.  See a Photo Gallery of the game, featuring a lot of running around and laughter, with an occasional score!

Senior Nico Morales signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Occidental College in Southern California in a Dragon Room ceremony on May 6.  See a Photo Gallery of him with family, friends, teachers and coaches, and see a Video of Nico's Comments thanking everyone who helped him get to this moment.

The Lower School Running Club cooled off on a hot afternoon in early May by running through the sprinklers on Graduation Lawn and munching popsicles.  See a Photo Gallery of them getting exercise, and wet, at the same time!

May 3rd was an interesting day at the District competition at Deer Park Golf Club.  The boys' golf team finished 4th and the girls' team finished 3rd.  Patrick McCarthy was 3rd overall, shooting a 2 over 74. The boys team qualified for Regionals, so Patrick, Luke Whitman, Nick Henning, Nate Henning, and Kade Kaiser will represent SGS at regionals at the Kalispel Golf Club on May 13th!  Carol Wolff qualified for regionals on the number and Kaylee Clark missed by only 2 shots.  "I am excited that the boys’ team made it, Carol Wolff gets one more round, and I am pumped for Kaylee’s future in the sport," said coach Brad Kirsch.  See a Photo Gallery of the golfers at Deer Park.  The winds and clouds made it a chilly day on the course, but it was still a great place for an afternoon competition.

The SGS Golf team challenged the Northwest Christian Crusaders on May 6 in the annual Holy Grail of Golf at Wonderland's putt-putt course on North Division.  The Dragons won it this year, and the prize was a putter made in 1913!  It was a fun day of putt-putting before competing at Regionals this Thursday.

Saint George's Esports teams have finished their inaugural season of online competitions.  The Valorant roster of Nolan Kimball, Alec Bunn, Tristan Krzyzanek, Ethan Wu, and Travis Morris finished 77th of 202 teams.  The Minecraft players were Ronan Gortler (104th overall), Gibson Montgomery (25th), Steel Lindauer (21st), and Gabe Gustafson (15th) our of a total of 472 players.  Steel and Gabe are guaranteed to make the Playoffs with Gibson on the bubble.  Congratulations!
