Canterbury’s last fall athlete wrapped up her season in style on Saturday. Junior Kate DeSimone crossed the finish line at the state cross country meet in 18:57 to finish in 19th place. Kate’s time was the 6th fastest among runners from last weekend’s New Haven semistate. Congratulations to Kate on a great season; make sure to check back on Monday for more information!

Fall sports at Canterbury have wrapped up for the year — except for one lone runner. Junior Kate DeSimone knocked more than ten seconds off her personal record to finish in ninth place with a time of 18:39 at the New Haven cross country semistate. As one of the top 15 individual finishers, DeSimone will be the first Canterbury runner to represent the Cavaliers at the state finals since Julianna Roche and Laura Ardington did so in 2006.

Kate DeSimone and Jacob Phillips have taken different paths so far this season, but both have achieved the same results so far. Both DeSimone, who won the Marion regional last week, and Phillips, who snuck in by finishing 15th at Marion, will compete Saturday in the New Haven Semistate at IPFW and the Hefner Fields complex. The girls race is slated to start at 1:00 p.m., and the boys race follows at 1:45 p.m.
Both runners have been profiled in local newspapers this week. You can find Greg Jones’ article about DeSimone in the Journal Gazette by clicking here. Reggie Hayes of the News Sentinel profiled both runners here. Good luck to Kate and Jacob on Saturday!

Last Wednesday afternoon, a small group of high school students helped to
launch the new athletics department initiative known as “Every Student an
Athlete.” Born of a Board of Trustees task force study during the
2007-2008 school year, the program emphasizes the importance of
lifelong fitness and has an aggressive goal of involving every Canterbury
student in some regular physical activity.

The regional round of the boys soccer state tournament at Carroll High School has proven to be a difficult hurdle for Canterbury over the past two years. After crashing out of the tournament in a shootout there last year, the Cavaliers fell 1-0 to #2 and undefeated Homestead Saturday night in the regional final.

For the third year in a row, the Canterbury girls soccer team saved some of its best soccer for Bishop Dwenger in sectionals; the other half of the trend, however, was decidedly less satisfying. The Lady Cavaliers’ season ended Thursday night for the third consecutive time at the hands of the Bishop Dwenger Saints in the sectional round of the state tournament, this time by a score of 3-2.

The old adage that history repeats itself is one that the Canterbury Cavaliers boys’ soccer team looked to disprove as they returned to Carroll High School for the first time since their season ended in dramatic fashion last year. The Cavaliers looked to shine under the lights of the rainy night, but the Blackhawk Braves would not go without a valiant fight.
