Dragon Cross Country Teams Are Invitational Champs

VYPE
Sep 28, 2020

Results from the Week of September 21st

VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY
9/26 at Providence Classical
Boys 1st •• Girls 1st
The Cooper Cross Country teams competed at the Providence Classical HS Invitational on Saturday. With the best running weather of the season to date, both boys' and girls' teams performed exceptionally well, bringing home the championship trophies once again.



Leading the boys was senior Will McDermott, who finished in first place on a tough grassy course, with a season-best of 16:28. "We know Will has more in the tank," Head Coach George Dohner said. "Will finished more than 30 seconds ahead of the other competitors, which makes it hard to run your race without anyone pushing you."
The rest of the boys' team ran to their fitness level with six of the 12 varsity runners posting PRs (personal records). Junior Vishnu Swaminathan broke the 17-minute mark for the first time, finishing 2nd at 16:59. Senior Zac Winton finished in fourth place at 17:19. Junior Drew Wilkerson and freshman Grey Mendenhall rounded out the team scoring in 13th and 15th place. "The boys had a great week of training and we were really excited to see the boys perform at a level we knew they were capable of," Dohner said.
The girls' team also finished in first place, narrowly edging out Pasadena Memorial by only 13 points. Senior Katie Drake lead the team with a fourth-place finish followed by sophomore Megan Day in fifth. Junior Rebecca Melin is continuing to make improvements and finished in ninth place. A surprising spark came from freshman Ava Perugini running her first 5k race. Perugini finished in 11th place posting an impressive 22:41. "We are so happy to see Ava out there running. She is our only freshman running moving up from our Middle School team. She is certainly going to help us down the road," Dohner said. Junior Amber Navarra ran her best race of the season to round out the scorers in in 14th and was following by Chloe Smith in 15th. Cooper had six medalist in the Top 15 which was a good showing for the team.

VYPE Campus Spotlight: Second Baptist School's Rachel Riley tosses no-no

Joshua Koch
07 Apr, 2021

HOUSTON - It is a bit of a superstitious rule of thumb that while a no-hitter is happening, you don't mention that a no-hitter is happening, especially to the pitcher.

Second Baptist School senior and Penn softball commit Rachel Riley found herself in that situation last week against St. Joseph in a Tuesday night showdown.

Riley was rolling through the game and once she had worked through the top of the fifth inning, she had given up zero runs, struck out 11, and allowed not a single hit. At the bottom of the frame when the Eagles pushed across their 10th run of the night, the game was called due to the run rule.

SOFTBALL: Great performance from Sr. Rachel Riley tonight, 1️⃣1️⃣ strikeouts in just 5 innings of work. pic.twitter.com/rh8PTldDdz

Riley had done it. She had completed the no-hitter and what made it even more special is that it came on senior night.

VYPE Media Managing Editor Joshua Koch caught up with the Second Baptist School senior ace to talk about the special night and more.
