By Meranda Waters Sports, sports - and more sports! If you like tekeep up with Her ae s tvictories, this is one article you won't want te miss! However, if sports are not quit. your cup of tea, a quick glance could ho te, your benefit. I mean, what if you wero suddenly grabbed as you were walking down the street (on the way te, school, of course) by some weirdo, who demanda te know bow Henry's sports teams are doing? Your painis start to sweat and your oyes glaze over. Without' an answer, this weirdo bas threatened to rob you of your valued (and treasured) chenistry textbook.. Oka, su its a little far-fetched, (yoire right, they'd Clgofor the oIe' math )'bt I can sSe this happening. At least now you cant saylrdidn't warn you. (Just te ho on the safe aide though, may I sugesttakngnotes.)1 Le'begin with Henryls track and feld team's extremely good results at this year's LOSSA meet. Setting a new record in 100mbhurdles as wellas a flrstin both l100m and 200iii runs was Henry's tep comptiter at LOSSA, Jason BrumlêY.. Close bébind was Jon Hopkins who captured two gold medals in the. triple and long jump. Other god medaflists were* Steve McArdle in the 400m hurdle ovent and Jason' Bacchiochi in àUm hurdiles. Grog Smith achieved a Égold modal in the 1500m and à silver in the grel*ng 3,000m event. Picking up a well-earned silver modal in high jump was Brent Giles, 'and Tim Ambler received a bronze modal for bis participation* in the 800m. Also qualifying for DYSSAA were relay team members Katherine Ringrose, Blythe Doole, Cheryl Lainhie and Reeanon F'ilip; Kerry Wishart in 300m hurdles, Wes Swanton in high jump and Darryl Metcalf in javeLn. The Port Perry girls' fleld lacrosso team feU victim te the Haksb a final score of 8-0. Four goal fromLyn Michaud, two fo Stephanie Sorichetti and one apiece from Kathleen Rowland and Joanne Corac al contributed te this well-deserved win. Strong porformaces were exhibited by Leanne Bullougb (Who earned the shuteut), Barb Zibens Brandy Zebrak and Kelly Piroudftoot. With a 3-0 record and a recent 19-8 win over Dunharton, the girls fastball team is one te ho reckoned with. A special mention te Kelly McCague and Melanie Wright for their strong defensive la. As for the guyd sp>orts, the Hawks basobail team continued their winning streak with an 8-4 win overNAax. Rob, Robitaille and Chris- Sinclair reafl got, the sweat going while Jane'attors and Ken Shepýpard combined their pitching MkIlîs te lead t ho Hlawks te their victery SAnd Henrys final et equally successful sp, orts teamn is the inidget 'boys' rugby team. Christian Skelcher led the team with two tries, followed by Robin Halten and Ryan Price with a try, each. Topher Stevens added two converts, te brin g the final score te an unbelievable, -astenishiing and amazing 20-0 win. Now with all this new-found knowledge, there is only one thing left te do. Go and grab unsuspecting students, carrying chexistry .or math books, and demand te know Henry's successful sport- scores. DEIS 'ONRHIHSHO Hello., Sonia Bebbington bore.
