State Bound for the 4th consecutive season!!!

It has not been easy traveling the path we have traveled this year, but the Lady Knights have negotiated the obstacles and will return to Percy Warner Park on Nov. 1 for their attempt to close the season with the best finish in Kenwood's seven year history. Brittany and Alicia ran awe inspiring races to propel us to 65 points, 6 points behind a very deserving Lady Vikings squad. That's 2 championships and 2 runners-up since 2000. Not a bad way to start out a millineum :)

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE PRAYERS, CALLS, EMAILS, FLOWERS, THOUGHTS, FOOD and SYMPATHY RELATED TO OUR BUS ACCIDENT on 9-27-03. WE COULD NOT POSSIBLY NAME EVERYONE WHO HAS GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY FOR US. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE LOVE and GENEROSITY, MAY YOUR KINDNESS BE REWARDED.

Nov. 1, 2003:  Kenwood's Lady Knights record their third top 15 team finish and fifth state trip in the school's seven year history...results up at TSSAA if you go HERE.

Oct. 24, 2003: Regional results are up for our classification (AAA). The ladies gave their absolute best shot at the 3-peat, but come up 6 points short to NWHS. The Lady Vikes ran awesome, and we are going to take our best shot at catching them next week...but after the hardship the ladies have fought through...Z missing 3 weeks, Alicia fighting hip and shins...I am very proud of them and the race they put together. The fellas found themselves in a dog pile of teams that had less than 20 points separating 2nd through 6th. When it is that close, you can wind up just a few points out of 2nd but still 5th. That was basically the case for the gentlemen who miss a trip to state by exactly 12 points. Not much, and a great effort for the fellas who only lose one of their top 7 and will be hungry next year. Congrats to both of our teams, and best of luck to the ladies as they descend on the Steeplechase next weekend.

Oct. 20, 2003: AMS teams...I had to put them together myself this year for the association. You talk about a time consuming task, whew. But, the teams are done, and Kenwood claims three spots on the girls AAA team. Congratulations to Megan Russell (9th), Crystal Thomas (12th), and making her first AMS team, Aundria Bosserdet (15th). This is #3 for both Meg and Crystal. Meg will go for the clean sweep next year of 4 in a row, something never done by anyone at Kenwood. Cali's hard work paid off for her this year, it is very satisfying for all of us to see her grab a spot.

Oct. 10, 2003: I apologize for the lack of activity on the site the past month...a lot has transpired. Wish us luck as we head down the stretch for conference, region and hopefully state. Any questions or comments that you may have, email me directly.

Sept. 13, 2003: At the classic...the ladies garner the runner-up trophy behind Louisville Assumption. And as good as they are...2nd is as good as first today. Great job ladies! Aundria paces the ladies on this fine Saturday. Melvin leads the parade for the guys as they finish a very close 3rd, two points behind Rossview. Boys B team wins that division as well. Great efforts down at the ole' Heritage Park.

Sept. 6, 2003: The Madisonville Inv. champs...the Kenwood Lady Knights :) Megan, Crystal and Aundria all crack the top 10 en route to our best finish there of all time!

August 30, 2003: Season opener at Macon County...a long way from Clarksville. The girls go in short handed but leave with a third place trophy at the Subway Macon Co. Invite. Congrats to Aundria Bosserdet for her medal winning performance. Results below.
