With this school year coming to an end, we start turning our heads towards August and the start of next year. August marks the start of our fall sports season. Our Varsity football team had a great spring in the weight room and are preparing themselves each and every day to build on their TAPPS 6A Independent State Championship game appearance they earned last year.

Coach KB is very excited for the upcoming season, but remains focused on all that needs to be done before then to be ready for the challenges that await his team.

See attached document to see the 2017 Varsity Football Schedule.

Our Varsity track and field team competed at the TAPPS 6A State Meet and finished with some pretty good results. The Vikings qualified four members of the Varsity team and brought them to Waco to compete against the state’s best athletes. The meet was held at Baylor University’s Clyde Hart stadium.

Jordan de la T. competed in the 100 meters Hurdles and finished 9th. Jordan is the first freshman Track & Field runner to qualify for State in the history of the program. Ben A. finished second in the 800 meters, a race he lost at the tape. Ben posted a time of 155.60 which is one of the better times in the nation, and a new school record. Ben also finished 4th in the 400 meters with a time of 50.69. Alex A-E posted a time of 9:47.70 in the 3200m, which was good enough for a new school record and a 3rd place finish. Alex also finished 3rd in the 1600 meters with a time of 4:35.44, which also set a new school. Lastly Iyanu A. got 3rd place in the long jump, recording a distance of 21’3. Iyanu also Finished 2nd in the high jump, setting a new school record with a distance of 6’4 . The kids were outstanding and competed at a very high level. The boys finished an amazing 8th with only 3 boys. It was a great weekend for the Vikings!

The Middle School Track team has concluded its 2017 season and we are so proud of how far we have come. The HJPC championships were a success overall and the kids worked very hard to build up for that event. We had a lot of people get great times and personal records in their events. This year we definitely put the Village School on the map as a force to reckon with. The Middle School track staff is so proud of the effort given by every athlete.

Out of 12 schools at HJPC
8th grade Boys finished 6th
8th grade Girls finished 3rd
7th grade Boys finished 2nd (the margin from 1st was 1.5 points)
7th grade Girls finished 3rd
6th grade Boys finished 10th
6th grade Girls finished 5th

We also beat 18 total Middle School records this year. 9 for the boys and 9 for the girls.

We would like to acknowledge every member of the team for their character, commitment, work ethic, and attitude throughout the course of the season. They all knew they would be competing every week within the team for individual events at each track meets. There were no complaints and maximum efforts from all. We would like to thank all of the parents for their support throughout the season as we are grateful. Go Vikings!
