On Saturday, July 30, 2011, McAuley junior, Taylor Church, competed in Maine’s first Freshwater Open Swim competition held at Sebego Lake. Miss Church achieved a first place finish in the 5k swim, which was open to anyone from across the United States, and sponsored by USA Swimming.  Taylor is part of Catherine McAuley’s swim team, which garnered a fourth place finish and the coveted Sportsmanship Award this past season in the State Swimming Competition.

Kudos are also extended to McAuley freshman, Katie Call, who finished 18th in the 3k portion of this race.

Congratulations to both Taylor and Katie for such an outstanding, physically challenging achievement! We look forward to seeing you compete for McAuley this coming season!

Please join us for our First Annual McAuley Cross Country Alumnae Run!  The run will be held on Tuesday, August 16 at 6:00 pm, beginning at the McAuley Campus.  The 2 mile course will take runners around the McAuley campus and through Baxter Woods.

This annual event will give the current McAuley Cross Country Team a chance to meet and run with McAuley alumnae, and allows McAuley graduates the opportunity to run with some former teammates, and give some advice to the novice runners! Whether you have been running all summer long, or this will be your first run, you are certain to have fun visiting with old teammates, or making new friends!

Snacks and beverages will be available after the run, and the event is FREE, so tell all of your friends, old and new!

Registration is not required, but it would be great to know you are coming! Please contact Cindy Worthing at cindy.worthing@mcauleyhs.org with any questions!

Let’s get running!
