Falcon Nation - Athletic News & Reviews
Hello Falcon Nation!!
Soccer:
Soccer finished their season on a strong note beating Central Noble last Monday night and fought a tough battle again Fort Wayne Fusion on Tuesday. Great Job Everyone!
The Falcon's soccer record moves to 5-4.
We ended the year with a family pizza party to celebrate a great season of soccer!!
I want to thank all the players for their hard work this season!! I also want to thank all the parents and staff for all the support and volunteer help with this program.
If you have some pictures from this year, could you please send them to Nikole Albright at nalbright@oakfarmschool.com for her newsletter. Thank you!
Cross Country:
The Falcon Cross Country team traveled to Lakewood Park last Monday night. Allison Burton ran a 15:00 followed by Kaitlin Traylor with a 16:30. Max Stuckey ran a 15:50 with Grant Lake coming in next with a 16:49. Great job runners!
The runners then traveled to the Cardegle CC meet at Shoaff Park. The Falcons ran hard and finished strong to end their season! Be proud!
The team met at 800 Degrees Pizza for a small celebration of all the hard work throughout the season.
Once again, I want to give a thank you to all the runners for all their hard work this season!! I also want to thank all the parents and staff for their support and volunteer help with the program.
