Although the Lake Tahoe course will be hilly, so are the local areas — such as Naked Mountain in Gainesville and Sugarloaf Moun- tain in Maryland — where the riders have been training. So Gogoel and Schaffstall aren’t daunted by what lies ahead. “I’m mostly excited about it,” said Gogoel. “My dad and brother Patrick, 21, will fly out with us. It’ll be great just being there, plus going to the LLS dinners before and after the ride, because it’ll be nice meeting all the survivors and the people currently battling blood cancers.” Schaffstall’s parents, John and Monica, live in Fairfax’s Briarwood community, and she has one brother, Ryan, 24. When she at- tended Robinson, her dad was the offensive coordinator for the Rams’ football team. Like Gogoel, Schaffstall is happy to participate in the biking fund raiser for LLS. “It’s a great organization and seems to be doing a lot with the money it receives,” she said. “They say Lake Tahoe is ri- diculously beautiful, and it’ll be awesome to say I went there and biked 100 miles.” At first, though, training was tough for her because she began it shortly after a friend of hers was diagnosed with melanoma. Then in April, she died at age 23. “She was one of my best friends from college, so it was difficult for me to train during all that,” said Schaffstall. “But it gives me even more motivation because I don’t want anyone else to have to lose another good friend at such a young age.” She also learned that leukemia primarily affects children and young adults under age 20. So, she said, “It’s something I can really relate to. And it seems like everyone on the Team in Training knows someone who’s been through it, so it’s good for me to have that kind of support.” Benefit Concert A fund-raising concert for the Leuke- mia and Lymphoma Society takes place Saturday, May 22, at 7 p.m., at the Heart in Hand Restaurant in Clifton. Katie Gogoel, Samantha Schaffstall and Sylvia Rosales are the hosts, and $10 is the suggested donation. Performing will be the City Dwelling Nature Seekers, the band of former Clifton resident, Matt Booth, and Clifton guitar virtuoso Colin Thompson will join in. “Matt and I went to preschool together, and he’s agreed to play for free,” said Gogoel. “This event will be lots of fun,

pionship. The result, it turned out, was Robinson playing one of its best games of the season in a 9-4 championship game triumph, earn- ing the Rams their first district tournament crown since 2007. “We tried to take a very relaxed approach to the game,” said Robinson head coach Justin Fitzgerald. “We wanted to keep our guys loose. We didn’t want to focus so much on the fact that we were playing Chantilly. We have tremendous respect for them.” Saturday’s game, postponed from the evening before when play never got started due to a thunderstorm, got underway at 11 a.m. under beautiful skies and in front of an excited, vibrant crowd. Robinson, for most of the game, seemed to be in com- mand and the more physical team. “They’re a very talented team and well coached,” said Chantilly head coach Kevin Broderick, of the Rams. “We just didn’t have our ‘A’ game today.” Robinson led 3-0 nearly midway through the second quarter and held a 5-2 advantage following a close range goal by senior attack Thurmond Shaw (off an assist from senior midfielder Drake Platenberg) early in the third quarter. But the Chargers got right back into the contest later in the third quarter on consecutive scores from senior attack Kevin Egan, the latter goal coming with three minutes, 10 seconds remaining in the stanza. Just like that, Chantilly was right in striking distance. But the Chargers lost the game’s momentum again less than a minute later when Robinson junior attack Jason Stein, after Chef Arnym Solomon, Trustee Emeritus of Chef Amanda Hammonds, Culinary Dem- receiving a pass from behind the Chargers’ net, found the net the Board of Trustees of the Culinary onstrator, Culinary Institute of America, from five yards away to give the Rams a little breathing room Institute of America, shows Andrew pours tempered chocolate into chocolate at 6-4 with 2:36 remaining in the third.
