As Summer Succeeds to Winter, so do Fall Sports

By Katie Bergeron, OHS Torch Reporter

At Olympia, sports are always ongoing, during the transition period between fall and winter, fall sports wind down; many are finishing up their seasons and going to regionals.

The fall sports and their final known records so far are: Varsity-Football 2-6, Varsity-Volleyball 18-9, Boys Soccer 6-9, Girls and boys golf, girls and boys cross country, girls swim, and Marching Band/ Color Guard.

AD Mr. Roney said, “Marching Band received a first place finish in normal West Invitational on Sept. 27th. Girls swim has also won three or four meets.”

Some standout players in different sports are;: senior C.J Barachman (golf) who advanced to sectionals, Freshman Olivia Forrest (swim) who had broken many fresh/soph records and one varsity record.

Another remarkable player is junior Shelby Siltman who has had an outstanding season this year in Cross Country. With a few first place finishes she is expected to go to state.

Siltman said, “This season is going a lot better than past ones. RIght now we are in post season, regionals. Personally I think I’ll go to state if I stay confident and run fast,”

Football’s last game is Friday Sept. 23rd, Soccer lost in their first round of regionals, golf is now over, swim goes until November, Marching band and Color Guard are over when football is, Volleyball begins regionals Monday Sept. 26th and is projected to go past the first round.

Roney said, “Every year we want to win, of course, but with our regional it’s tough. We are part of a hard conference, which has some pros and cons to it. We get great exposure during our seasons because of the exceptional teams, which is great for players who want to go on and play in college, but that means we rarely get Championships.”
