  • Jaguar Sports Boosters Bulletin Fall 2013
    Fall 2013 Jaguar Sports Boosters bulletin The Director of Student Activities Wow- what an amazing fall season for the Falls Church High School Jaguars!!! When the season began in early August, we were dealing with many obstacles that could have hindered success for our sports teams: stadium and practice fields were under construction, the track was not available, teams had to practice off campus, and there were unexpected coaching vacancies. Through it all, the coaches persevered and the athletes persisted, and instead of being brought down, the Jaguars rose above – way above! In late August, FCHS was fortunate to celebrate the installation of two new beautiful synthetic turf fields due to the support from Fairfax County Public Schools, the Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services, and the Falls Church High School Athletic Booster Club. These new fields have made a very positive impact on our teams, students, and community! Once the school year began, the good news kept coming…. Our golf team had three members compete in the new Region 5A North Tournament –Gary Bornholdt, Ryan Krepp and Kevin Moore. Our volleyball and field hockey teams showed steady progress at all levels (freshmen, jv and varsity) and several athletes earned All-Conference recognition. The Cross Country teams had many accomplishments: in the Capitol Conference 13 Championship, Seniors Emily Grabauskas and Erin Nunan placed in the top 15 along with Nicolas Rodgers on the boy’s side. For the second year in a row, the entire girls’ team advanced to the Region Championship. Nicolas also advanced to Regions for the boys cross country program.
