Congratulations to the 67 ACS middle school and high school students who participated in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference Track Meet on Wednesday, May 10 and earned medals and top team honors. The High School Boys’ and Girls’ teams and the Middle School Girls’ team finished in first place, the Middle School Boys’ team placed third, and 18 students received first place medals. The High School Girls’ team, pictured above at left, earned the most meet points (55).
For the 11th consecutive year, ACS hosted the meet on its campus, welcoming hundreds of athletes, coaches, and families from six other Christian schools in the region — Abundant Life Academy, Ambassador Christian Academy, Calvary Academy, Cumberland Christian School, Gloucester County Christian School, and The Pilgrim Academy.
Sunny, blue skies and a light breeze made it a perfect day to run the mile and relays, throw the shot put, soar through the air in the long jump, and much more. We’re especially proud of two ACS 8th graders — Serena D’Anna and Chloe Vogel — who broke four school and meet records. D’Anna set new Middle School records in the 400-meter (1:08.5), the 800-meter (2:38.7) and the mile (5:40.7), and Vogel set a new Middle School record for the 2-mile (14:00). Thank you to Athletic Director Chris Eaton and PE teacher Pam Hitchner for their hard work organizing the meet and handling all the details to make the meet run smoothly. Thank you also to our alumni, parents, and staff who volunteered in various ways, including at the concession stand that helped raise funds to benefit our Athletic Department.
