The EPG Invite at Furrow Farms is known for being a straight-up beast of a course, with a really fun theme each year. This years theme was the movie Cars. Several teams had creative costumes which is what makes this race so much fun! Despite the challenging course the Oly girls persevered and made memories in the varsity and open races!
Huge congrats to Mira on a top-ten finish! She powered through the treacherous terrain for 10th place in the Varsity Girls race (21:54). The 3 mile course was a first for Natalie (26:16), Juliet (25:23), Leah (30:28) and Chloe (31:12). Every single runner left it all out there. We had a great time and built some serious toughness!

What a day for Olympia Volleyball!
Yesterday our Varsity team battled their way through a full day of competition at the Knight Invitational hosted by Fieldcrest High School — and came out CHAMPIONS! The girls worked so hard to earn their spot in the championship match and finished strong to bring home the title.
A couple highlights from the day:
Myra Books went on an incredible 11-point service run in the semifinal match!
Abigail Goodman recorded her first-ever kill while stepping into the front row!
The entire team showed unmatched hustle and grit, never letting a ball hit the floor without a fight.
We are beyond proud of the fight, energy, and teamwork shown by every single player. A big thank you as well to our amazing parents and fans who stuck with us and cheered loud during a long day of volleyball — your support means the world!
