The
Silver Streak athletic program provides students a chance to
compete in a variety of sports. Currently, GHS offers 10 boys
sports and 10 girls sports.
GHS athletes are challenged to succeed both on
the playing field and in the classroom as the school maintains one
of the
highest academic standards in the Western Big 6 Conference.
MACOMB - The Macomb Country Club golf
course has seen better conditions, but Tuesday, the GHS varsity
boys out-battled the course and Macomb for a 152-154 dual meet
victory. Jacob Schwieter led the Streaks with a 36 and took
medalist honors. Kyle Osborn followed with a 37. Logan
Scott had a 38 and Kelby Rescinito and Joey Juergens
both posted 41's.
Streak girls
win season opener
GHS' varsity girls swimming and diving team
picked up where they left off from last season as they opened the
2010 campaign with a 103-82 victory over Dunlap. The visiting
Eagles gave the Streaks a good battle, winning five events, but in
the end GHS' depth won out. The Streaks won two of three relays to
make the difference. Seniors Colleen Shelly and Katie
VanHootegem also came up big capturing two individual events
apiece and swimming on both winning
relays.
EAST MOLINE - GHS' cross country teams
began their 2010 season Tuesday with a five-team meet at Northeast
Park. The meet has been held at Credit Island, but the course was
currently unavailable. The Streaks fared well with the boys
finishing third and the girls team posting some high place
finishes despite running one girl short of earning a team score.
Dorothy Mangieri was second in the girls race and Jackie
Kennedy took 11th. On the boys side, Beau Salsman led
the way with a fifth place finish. Josh Link and Mike
Darling were 9th and 12th, respectively. GHS will host their
annual invitational this Saturday at Lake Storey.
Another win for GHS' golfers
HAWTHORNE RIDGE - Instead of being the
fifth man Monday, GHS' Kelby Rescinito led the way for the
Streaks with a one-under par 35 at Hawthorne Ridge in a 148-176
dual meet victory over Mercer County. In addition to Rescinito's
effort, the Streaks got a pair of even par 36's from Logan
Scott and Jacob Schwieter. Kyle Osborn added a
41.
