A Wrap-Up of the Spring Season All four teams active in the State Championship hunt

By Sante Dybowski Chieftain Staff
Baseball
So far , Baseball has lived up to expectations this season . The Warriors definitely have built a strong team bond , and that shows on the field . With leaders such as Junior Reese Trahey and Seniors Alex Kuster and Chris Faust , the team has showed that it can definitely compete in the playoffs . With this season already successful , the team will have momentum leading into next year , even after losing some key Senior leaders .
Golf
Golf has had major success as of late and is definitely on the upward climb to being a State contender . Led by Senior Jack Reinhart and Junior Quinn O ’ Leary , the squad has had great success this season after a rebuilding year last year . With Coach Braisted stepping in as the new coach , the team looked to start fresh , and there is major potential in the future . Although a
State Championship might not be as realistic this year , these Warriors definitely will be a hard team to beat in the coming years .
The Lacrosse Team celebrates after a goal vs . CC
Lacrosse
This team was supposed to be a roadblock for the Brother Rice Lacrosse legacy , with major gaps to fill early from the 2016 squad . “ I think the season has been a success so far ,” Junior Connor
Marsh said . “ We started the season a little slow , but we quickly adjusted to the challenges we faced .” A statement win over Victor , which held the longest winning streak in the country with 50 wins , reestablished the Warriors as one of the elite programs in the Midwest . Since then , the team won the Catholic League Championship against Catholic Central , 15-10 , and is currently angling for its 15th State Championship in a row .
Track and Field
Performances by Octaveious Miles ( shotput and discuss ) and Michael Murphy ( long jump ) stood out , but the backbone of the team has been the distance performances . Led by Sophomore Alec Miracle , Junior Michael Tremonti and Senior Kyle Chisholm , the distance team has become one of the best in the state . Most improved have been the high jumpers , led by Christian Hayek , who jumped a personal record of 6-0 . After a good showing at states , the team hopes to carry the momentum into next year .
