CHAMPIONS!!! posted 9 May 2008
 
Congratulations to the 2008 MMA Girls Softball Team on their 11-8 Win over the Number 1 seeded and defending conference champions Mt. View!!! The Softball team lost to Mt. View early in the regular season, but showing their determination they proved themselves champions Thursday.  Our hats off to you for a job well done, you worked hard and you all earned it.
 
On the other side the Boys Baseball team fell to SVA in a very good ball game, 7-0, A game that was 1-0 until the 4th inning and could have gone either way. The boys did MMA Proud and showed a lot of class. For the members of the team that were here last year it was tough losing in the championship 2 years in a row. Good Job.
 
Make sure if you see any of these players both the boys and the girls give them a pat on the back for doing MMA sports proud once again, taking the field in the purple and gold of MMA and doing it with class and outstanding sportsmanship.
 
Great Job

CAC Cup Track report:  5 School Records
posted 7 May 2008

The Track Teams traveled to Benedictine School for the CAC Cup. Despite some strong showings, the Boys fell to superior numbers. Several school records were broken by the younger runners. Logan Reed broke his own 1600 Meter Middle School Boys record by 9 seconds clocking an impressive 5:42. Reed finished the night with a Middle School Boys 3200 Meter record of 13:30. Farrell Keough broke his JV Boys Shot Put record by nearly 3 feet with a throw of 33 feet 8 inches. Keough scored 2 points with a 3rd place finish in the Long Jump. Jeffery Fowler scored 2 points and ran a near-record 3rd place in the 1600 Meters in 5:17-2 seconds off the JV Boys record. Breon Makonnen finished the 800 Meter run in 2:43 for 4th place and 1 point.

Geon Kim broke the Middle School Boys 200 Meter record by nearly a second with a time of 28.6 seconds. The surprise of the night was Hunter Babcock’s record 800 Meter Run.
