And when was the last time you went to a student music performance, an arts opening, or a dance company showcase? At LC, peer support for the arts and music students is considerably dwin- dling as compared with the growing spirited support for the athletics. I want to tell you before anything else that I’m a violinist in the school orches- tra and a varsity fi eld hockey player in the fall. And that means I’m fair. By no means am I telling you to quit going to the games and instead to go watch a con- cert. Instead, I’m asking you for a heck lot more: consider going to both. Remember when our girls volleyball team played in the New England Final this past fall? Remember the Nothing but Nets charity game held by the boys varsity soccer team, the Play for the Cure held by the fi eld-hockey team? Th e school-wide peer support for these events was incredible, inspiring, and well-deserved. School spirit came to life in the sweat earned over hours of train- ing of the athletes, in the unifi ed cheers of the spectators and the fans.

  • Kleveland Tok Prestisjetung Sammenlagtseier
    Air+Style LA 20.02.17, MarcusKleveland 2. plass, foto: Process Films/Snowboardforbundet 20-02-2017 10:24 CET Kleveland tok prestisjetung sammenlagtseier Mandag morgen norsk tid vant Marcus Kleveland (17) den prestisjetunge sammenlagtseieren i Air+Style, der hele verdenstoppen deltar. Avslutningen av den tredelte konkurranseserien ble arrangert på stillashopp og kunstsnø i Los Angeles, og før finalen var det bare Sebastien Toutant (CA) som kunne ta fra Kleveland tittelen. Canadieren var nødt til å vinne i dag, men falt i to av tre runs, og allerede før sitt siste hopp var det derfor klart at Kleveland ville vinne touren. Som så mange ganger tidligere i år holdt han hodet kaldt og endte på en fin 3. plass. Men det var en nervøs Kleveland som kjørte i LA i dag. - Jeg visste jeg måtte ha minst en 6. plass for å vinne overallen, hvis Seb (Toutant) vant i dag. Etter at jeg tryna på førstehoppet kom nervene skikkelig inn. Men jeg gikk likevel for en cab trippel(cork) 1620 i andrerunnet, som jeg er mest redd for å gjøre, og landa greit. Da tenkte jeg at jeg skulle gjøre backside trippel og sikre overall-seieren. Jeg ble sjukt glad da det også var nok til 3. plassen, sier Kleveland. Nok en gang var nivået i big air-konkurransen enormt høyt, og det gjør landslagstrener Sondre Hylland enda mer imponert over det Kleveland presterer. - Maxence (Parrot), som vant i dag, la lista ved å lande det beste trikset i konkurransen allerede i første run. Da blir det et psykologisk spill i resten av konkurransen.
