CHS T&F at Mercer
Is.
By Coach Bruce McDowell
Friday, May 4
The
Cedarcrest
T&F team
competed at
a meet at
Mercer
Island HS
with Mount
Si also in
attendance.
As what
seems to be
the norm
this Spring,
it was
another wet
and cold
track meet
day.
This was a
good meet
for us as it
gave us a
Thursday
meet against
some
different
competition
before we
head into
the three
weeks of
Championship
meets.
The
highlight of
the day was
two school
records for
Mitchell
Montgomery,
breaking his
own records
in winning
the 800m and
1600m. He
ran 1:57.3
in the 8 and
4:18.2 in
the 16.
Without
looking in
the history
book, aka
the
internet, I
would
probably say
that the
last CHS
athlete to
break two
school
records in
the same day
would have
been Adam
Candland in
the 400m and
4x400m from
the 2009
season.
Alex Zuvich
won the
discus. Ryan
McGinnis won
the triple
jump. Zach
Jordan won
the 300m
Hurdles.
Luke
Driscoll won
the 200m.
Allison
Bawden won
the high
jump.
There were
several
changes on
our CHS top
10 lists,
despite the
poor
weather.
The biggest
changes were
in the boys
1600m with
Mitch's
school
record
and three
sophomores
breaking
4:40. Logan
Orndorf is
now 3rd,
Quinn
Radbourne is
now 4th, and
Colton Green
is now 9th.
Lucas
Driscoll dropped
his 100m
time and is
still in 7th
place. Zach
Jordan
dropped his
110m HH time
and is still
in 4th
place. Alex
Zuvich
dropped his
110m HH time
as well and
stayed in
7th place.
Alex Zuvich
moved up to
7th place in
the 300m H.
Tasha
Hartwig
moved up to
5th on the
800m list.
Allison
Bawden moved
up to 6th on
the triple
jump list as
well, and
broke the
junior class
record in
the triple
jump.
We are
looking
forward to
better
weather next
week as we
host the
Cascade
Conference
Championships
on Wednesday
and Friday,
May 9 and
11. This is
the 7th
consecutive
year that we
have hosted
the
Conference
Championships--it
should be a
fun meet.
Results from
this meet
are below.

meet are

Robotics Team Project
By Leanne
Christensen, RSD
Friday, March 9
In September of
2011, The Cedarcrest CTE (Career
and Technical Education)
department was selected as a
recipient of a Washington FIRST
Robotics Grant in the amount of
$7,000.00 from the OSPI (Office
of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction). Additional
financial support was provided
by parent Jill Wagner, who
helped to secure a grant from
NASA in the amount of $6,500,
and a $500 grant from Platt
Electric.
FIRST, whichstands for For Recognition of Science and
Technology, is a non-profit
public charity which was founded
in 1989 by Dean Kamen and is
based in Manchester, New
Hampshire. FIRST
was established to inspire young
peoples' interest and
participation in science and
technology. Cedarcrest CTE
Director Donna Bielstein
shares, “FIRST strives to design
accessible, innovative programs
that motivate young people to
pursue education and career
opportunities in science,
technology, engineering and
math, while building
self-confidence, knowledge, and
life skills.”
Cedarcrest
Teachers, Mike Miyoshi and Les
Collins were initially
approached with the idea for
this project by their students,
and volunteer Kevin Ross, "as
the driving force". Students
with varying degrees of academic
and technical aptitudes were
then recruited to become the
first ever Cedarcrest High
School FIRST Robotics Team.
On Tuesday,
February 28th, Mr. Miyoshi and
FIRST Robotic students, Jake Knoth, Nate Sutherland, and
Madison Waterman gave an
exceptionally impressive
presentation regarding their
Robotics Project to the
Riverview School Board
Directors, "one of the most
professional presentations we
have seen in quite a while",
stated School Board President,
Lori Oviatt.
The FIRST
Robotics Multi-State Regional
Competition will be held at
Century Link Event Center on
March 23-24, 2012, and the
International Competition will
be in St. Louis Missouri, April
26-28, 2012.

rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of
