We saw much more success this year than the last. Steps were taken in almost every program to continue to get us to where we want to be year in and year out: competing for region, area, and CCC championships with an eye to raise our programs to levels that will allow us to compete for State 12 11 Championships. Our athletes can feel the energy. We made strides in the classroom as well. We had markedly higher grade point averages among our athletes, and our student athletes are becoming more and more focused on being well-rounded competitors in and out of the classroom. Many of our student athletes will be training and continuing to serve the MCPS community this summer by working our summer sports camps for future Knights in elementary school. The Era of the New Knight is pushing forward, and we are excited about our future! Daniel Veres ('93), Athletic Director
