Sophomore Olympics Day VI

The "Mighty Diamond Dynasty" Dominates on the Final Day! Ducks Take Olympic Title!

When all was said and done the DiMarco Mighty Ducks were absolutely overwhelming on the final day of the Sophomore Olympics. The Ducks garnered an amazing 950 points on this final day of competition leaving no doubt who was number one. The Duck victory sealed the third consecutive Olympic Title for Mrs. DiMarco and established Olympic history with the first ever 3-peat dynasty. Mrs. DiMarco won two years ago with the "Diamondbacks" and last year with the "Dynasty."
The Mighty Ducks won the Tug of War title easily going 6 for 6 in the competition. All the usual names were on the line including, Peterson, Sapienza, Fernandez, Quiles, Ochuba, Olivera, Owoade, Nahaczewski, Renza, and Olivera.
In the track competition Alex Oliveira won the Boys 50, and was a member of the victorious shuttle race and 4 X 1 relay teams. The relay team also included Tolani Owoade, "Shoeless" Ayanah Sawyer, and Aryel Olivera. Tolani Owoade, who took third in the girls 50, took first in the shuttle race with Alex. Melissa Sporer was the only non-Duck to win an event! Melissa won the Girls 50.
Congratulations to Mrs. DiMarco and the MIGHTY DUCKS!

Sophomore Olympics Day V

THUNDER SCHMITTS EXPLODE! CAPTURE OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT!

The Thunder Schmitts struck more like lightning in the RC Gym today as Kory Highsmith and Eddie Harris rocked up and down the court with amazing baskets and great defense to slam the door on the surging Cougars 23-15. The Cougars who were led by Cody Dalziel and Sean Cohen had pulled to within three at 18-15, and had the ball but could not convert. Highsmith went on to sink 4 out of 5 foul shots to ice the game. Christian Fabregas, Nia "General" Grant, Danielle "ESPN" Franklin and Adam Eltouny all added quailty points and minutes for the champions.
In the important consolation game, the DiMarco Ducks may have saved their 3-peat hopes with a convincing 20-2 massacre of the Gessner Gladiators. Ryan (slam dunk) Quinn and Joe "rebound" Peterson led the Mighty Ducks.

Steven Tocyloski's victory was considered to be an upset of Mighty Joe Peterson who most people expected to win. Joe finished fifth place, but he had the biggest body to move of everyone. "Good job" to all who who competed!

Elsewhere, in room 120 the Sophomore Class Spelling Bee Chamionship was won by Nnenna Ochuba of the DiMarco Ducks! Nnenna edged fellow Duck, Elizabeth Salmi, and Thunder Schmitts Maeve Forde and Samaiya Horn-Corbin. Nnenna's victory was considered a slight upset over precompetition favorite Maeve Forde.

In the Logo competition, Ron Williamson narrowly edged Erin Nahaczewski. Both Ron and Erin tied for the sophomore class t-shirt design last month, so it came as no shock that they were nearly tied again.
