GBSSA Track and Field

Posted on May 23, 2013 by admin

Yesterday’s GBSSA meet was an epic finish to a great season for many track and field athletes.  Next week marks the next level of competition for many marauder track athletes.

Congratulations to Sarah Kelly for vaulting (more like flying) to a personal best in senior girls pole vault.  Nicole Smiljanic must be getting tired of gold medals, after easily winning senior girls high jump (again).  Michael Marson moves on to OFSAA regionals next week for a solid fourth place finish in long jump and so does Carlin Nielsen for securing a spot in junior boys javelin.  Amber Blight also secured a spot at OFSAA regionals next week in junior girls javelin.  Nathan Giamattolla won third place in midget boys high jump and will also represent us at OFSAA regionals.  Finally, congratulations to Nic Chapman for moving on to OFSAA regionals for his fourth place finish in senior boys high jump.

Thanks again to our timing volunteers, who ran the show yesterday– Shivanni, Chelsea, Jarod, Mitchell, Heather and Jordan.

Great work Marauders!

MSS Baseball

Posted on May 17, 2013 by admin

Yesterday afternoon was a glorious day for the MSS Boys’ Baseball team as they dominated St. T’s capturing the win with a score of 16-5.  The boys came out strong in the first inning and pitcher, Tyler Cascagnette, quickly showed the St. T’s squad that he was “in the zone”.  St. T’s did pick up a quick 2 runs in the second inning and MSS answered with 5 runs.  St. T’s added 3 more runs in the 3rd and MSS answered…and they answered loudly…with 8 more runs.  MSS was now up 13-5 by the 4th inning but decided to completely shutdown the Thunder by adding another 3 runs which put the 10 run mercy rule into effect and the game quickly came to an end.  Solid pitching from Tyler Cascagnette and closer, Jake Flower.  A big day on the bats with the whole line-up snagging at least one hit.  Some hitting highlights include Jack Waltenbury’s monster base-clearing triple and Nic Chapman and Tyler Cascagnette each snagged doubles.  Special mention to Carlin Nielsen and Noah Vout as they found a way on base every time they stepped up to the plate.  Notable RBI’s from Brady Arts, Jack Waltenbury, Jake Flower, Tyler Cascagnette and Nic Chapman.  This was a great win for the boys and Coaches Wickett, Bissell and Baldry couldn’t be happier.  Wish the boys’ luck as they head into the first round of playoffs next week.

Track Season in Full Swing!

Posted on April 29, 2013 by admin

Terrible weather has been no match for the MSS Track and Field team.  Training in rain and snow, the team competed on Friday in the Investors Group meet at St. Teresa’s in Midland.

Special congratulations to Nicole Smiljanic for a first place finish in Senior Girls high jump and a new meet record of 1.61meters.  Congratulations to Sarah Kelly for a first place finish in Senior Girls pole vault, despite being injured.  Nathan Giammattolla placed third in Midget Boys high jump.  Noah Skerritt earned a respectable 4th place in Junior Boys 100m hurdles, while Michael Matson earned the same place in Midget Boys long jump.  Summer Sutton and Meryssa Duquette came in top 8 in Midget and Senior Girls long jump respectively.  Amber Blight earned top 8 in javelin as did Nic Chapman.  Oliver Williams earned 6th place in his first ever 3000m as a Midget Boy.

Great start to the season team!

Midland Secondary School students recently visited the local Out of the Cold program. Students were given a tour and presentation. This volunteer organization serves thousands of meals and houses hundreds of guests, providing shelter for those in need.
Members of the Grade 12 Society class presented Brent Leaney and Bob Bruer with a $500 donation, proceeds from a recent Staff-Student hockey game.
