Girls Sports Night: White All Night!

Girls+Sports+Night%3A+White+All+Night%21

This past Thursday our Girls Leaders Organization hosted their 66th annual Girls Sports Night. The event consisted of Cheer, Calisthenics, Dodgeball, Volleyball, Tug of War, an underclassmen relay, and Musical Chairs for the Class of 2016 to compete in.

 

The Girls have been working since December, organizing teams, routines, and costumes. Both Maroon and White Cali and Cheer worked hard Tuesdays-Fridays after school learning their moves for the special night.

 

Maroon Cheer won both the Fight and Welcome Cheer, while White won Calisthenics. “It was a lot of hard work”, said junior Ally Wirth White Cali Captain, “but in the end it payed off and the big night was lots of fun!” Hannah Stasko, a sophomore on White Cheer was disappointed but optimistic claiming, “We didn’t win but it was still a lot of fun and i can’t wait for redemption next year”. With the Calisthenics win and victory in the sporting events White won Girls Sports Night overall.

 

Another important moment of the night was the revealing of next year’s Girls Leader Organization’s Cabinet. Caroline Tomaselli (second from the left) and Emily Dickson (right end), both White Calisthenics Captains, were selected to be next year’s Co- Vice Presidents. Kelsey McDonald (third from the right), another White Calisthenics captain, will replace Ariel Khatchatourian (second form the right). She explained, “It is an honor to have been chosen to lead this organization and I am very excited to see what next year will hold”.

 

Seeing girls at Whitman compete with such sportsmanship is always a fun time. If you did not come this year make sure you do next year. Congratulations to all for their hard work and a special thank you to Ms. Mahoney for successfully organizing the event year after year.
