Anna Bowling
Senior, Cincinnati Christian Basketball
Anna stepped up in a major way this week, including knocking down three huge three-pointers in crucial moments of our conference game against MVCA. Her confidence, poise, and shot readiness in high pressure situations changed the momentum of the game and lifted everyone around her. Beyond the scoring, Anna consistently impacts the game in so many ways. She is a steady ball handler, a strong decision maker, and a player who understands spacing, timing, and how to play within the flow of the offense. Defensively, she brings toughness, communication, and a willingness to do the little things that do not always show up on the stat sheet. As a senior, Anna has demonstrated leadership time and time again through her work ethic, consistency, and example. She competes the right way, encourages her teammates, and brings a calm presence in moments that demand composure. Her commitment to the team and her unselfish approach make everyone better. Anna represents everything we value in our program - toughness, discipline, leadership, and a relentless desire to keep growing.

Kai Moore
Junior, Purcell Marian Swimming
Kai is a junior, and this is already looking to be her best season yet. Her strength and endurance have continued to increase, and it is paying off in the pool. She is currently ranked 30th overall in the Southwest District for D2 in the 500 freestyle, an event she placed second in at the quad meet with Roger Bacon, Cincinnati Christian, and Norwood. Kai has stepped into her role as an upperclassman with no hesitation, and she is a great example for the younger swimmers to follow. Her willingness to help the team and swim any event needed is a great asset to her team, and the underclassmen look to her as a leader at meets and at practices. Kai is going to do some great things this season, and we can't wait to see it!
Ethan Lewis and Bryson Murphy
Roger Bacon Wrestling
Ethan, a senior, battled against the best competition in southwest Ohio at the prestigious SWOWCA Coaches Classic at Middletown HS. Ethan finished in third place beating and out-placing several state-ranked wrestlers, including avenging a loss from last season against a talented opponent from Moeller. Look for Ethan to continue to climb the state rankings as the season continues to progress. Bryson, a sophomore, finished third in a tough weight class at the Mohawk Invitational hosted by Madison HS. Bryson capped his day off with a first period pin for his fourth pin of the day in the third-place match.

Caden led the bowling Spartans to victories over Clarke Montessori on Tuesday with a 369 series and followed that up with a 445 series (which included a 258 game) against Walnut Hills on Thursday.
Wesley Garrison
Sophomore, Roger Bacon Swimming
Wesley has had a great start to his sophomore season. He shows up to every practice dedicated to improving his technique and legality in all strokes.This season, he has swum his first-ever 200 IM (finishing second) and 500 freestyle (finishing first) which helped Roger Bacon to win the quad meet against Purcell Marian, Cincinnati Christian, and Norwood and the tri meet against Purcell Marian and Mariemont. Wesley is one of the hardest workers both in the pool and at dryland. He has grown and improved by leaps and bounds this season, and we are excited to see what he does next!
