The third and final edition of National Signing Day is here again as 10 HHS seniors choose to continue their academic and athletic careers at their respective colleges. Let’s meet the athletes.
After a successful prelims meet Feb. 23, the Royals swim and dive team placed fourth at the section finals meet on Feb. 25.
The Royals compete in section 6AA, which includes teams such as Edina, St Louis Park, Minneapolis Washburn and Cretin-Derham Hall. 13 Royals qualified the section finals meet.
The HHS boys swim and dive team is currently in the midst of their season, and team captain Avinoam Bundt, junior, is helping lead the way to their success.
After 19 years of coaching swimming, Mr. Greg Bartz, math teacher, resigned from coaching the swim team. Bartz made the decision to dedicate more time on the future of his family and his job.
Despite the loss, the Royals have celebrated many wins, including Avery Martens-Goldman, sophomore captain, placing first in the 100 breaststroke, and a close second place in the 200 medley relay for Elliot Berman, seventh grade, and Michael Korsh, Ethan Rosenthal, and Gabe Silva Reina, sophomores.
Most HHS athletes train for fun or for their upcoming collegiate careers. Alex Aune, senior, is training for something a little bigger than those: the Paralympic Games.
