Spring Practice Schedules are posted under the schedules link on the left side of the page. 

The Cats participated in the NCISAA 2A State Championships this past weekend in Charlotte, NC. The Cats entered runners and throwers in the 3200m, 1600m, 400m, shot, and discus.

Friday

The team arrived at Johnson C. Smith University and we were all impressed with the campus and the track facility. If there’s a better view of the Charlotte skyline, please show us. The track is a fast track - a carpet like surface rolled over asphalt.

Lots of impressive looking teams milling around as the meet began. Our throwers headed down to the pits, warmed-up, and let it fly. Some good throws by the Cats, but nothing exceptional - our throwers have improved greatly over the season, with each meet we’ve gained confidence. The Cats left the pits without knowing their final throw distances - the officials were under strict instructions not to share distances with participants. So, we’re still waiting for those.

Upon returning to the stadium, our sole 400m entrant warmed-up for her race. The 400m is a tough race. Looking around, you could tell this group was fast. Our runner gave it her all, but the competition was too tough.

As evening began to fall, the call was made for the 3200m. Our runners, two guys and two girls warmed up ( one of our runners had been in Charleston on a class trip all day - he had to be tired ) for the event. The Cats have always been successsful in the 3200m and our performances this evening solidified our standing in the running community as a quaility program with quality student-athletes. Our two boys finish in the top 12 and our two girls finish in the top 5.

Saturday morning the team arrived at the stadium and immediately our only entrant in the girls shot was called to her event. After three throws - with officials not divulging distances - we were done. We suspect we finished in the lower quarter of throws, but we will see.

As the day heated up, our runners in the 1600m began their pre-race routines of stretching and jogging. We entered 4 girls in the 1600m and 1 boy.

Our girls ran very well as did our only boy entrant - we were very proud of our team and the way they pulled for each other.

Congratulations to the members of this years track team - good things ahead for this group!

We’ll post final times as soon as they arrive - we hope shortly.

Two Carolina Day teams will be competing in NCISAA Championship action beginning this afternoon.

Our track team heads to Charlotte for the NCISAA 2A Track Championships at Johnson C. Smith University. The event begins at 330pm with our throwers in the pit. Our runners hit the track beginning at 500p and concluding this evening with the 3200m.

The tennis team looks to repeat as the NCISAA 2A Champion this morning in Wilmington, NC. The Cats are on the court as this is being written - we hope to provide updates throughout the day.

Best of success to the Cats!

The Cats competed at Christ School on Friday in the CAA Track Championships. Our limited numbers always pose a problem for the Cats. While our teams scored only a few points we had some very solid performances.

The Cats move ahead to the NCISAA 2A track championships on Friday of this week - keep running Cats.

The Cats performed well at yesterday’s CAA Track Meet at Asheville School with the girls fininshing 3rd and the boys finishing 4th. A good performance by both teams on a cold and windy day.

Lots of pictures taken yesterday - we hope to post those shortly.

A great night for Cat Athletics as we continue to earn big awards from our peers across Western North Carolina. In front of US Representative Heath Schuler and 1000 of our closest friends, our tennis team was awarded the Tommy Love Memorial Award for their excellent performance as a 1a/2a Olympic Sport Team. This is the second year in a row in which our tennis team has been honored.

In addition to our tennis team being recognized, Marley Burns (CDS ‘07) was awarded the Top Female Athlete in an Olympic Sport for her accomplishments during alst year’s track season. Marley is currently a runner at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.

Congratulations not only to our two award winners but also to each and every student-athlete at CDS. You’re all leaving a rich legacy for our future Cats!

The Cats on the track again this afternoon as they compete in a quad meet against Asheville School, Christ School and Rabun Gap. The first event begins at 400p. If you’re attending, dress warmly!
