FROM OUR PAK (PARENTS ARE KEY) TEAM

Join us as we partner with Top 20 Teens author, Tom Cody, as we talk about parenting teens. Our first topic is a way of thinking, learning and communicating called living above the line. It works with everything from parenting to politics!! "The Line" is a lesson that we use with all of our EVHS 9^th graders (our 10-12^th graders have all heard it, too), so we want to create a shared perspective and vocabulary (teachers, students and parents all talking the same language...how powerful is that?!?!)! We are offering two sessions in hopes to provide an opportunity for EVERYONE who wants to attend: Wednesday, September 18^th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm and Saturday, September 21^st from 10:00am - 11:30am. Both sessions are the same, so pick one (and bring a friend!!).  As always, all EVHS PAK events are free and open to the public!

ATHLETICS

(NEW) EASTVIEW BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TAKES FIRST AT MAYO INVITE

Congratulations to the boys cross country team on their first place finish at yesterday’s Rochester Mayo Invitational. It was a sunny, and muggy day making for challenging racing conditions, but the team dealt with the conditions positively, not letting the weather wear on them.

A cautious start by our runners proved advantageous as they closed the gap on the leaders over the second mile. By the time the leaders crossed the 2 mile mark, senior AJ Green had wrestled for the lead. Over the final mile he then slowly extended this lead to finish the race in first place, opening a 10 sec gap. Senior Sam Morgenstern held on strongly as he finished in 4^th.

Junior Colby Rubischko shadowed Morgenstern’s moves throughout the race, maintaining a 10-15 sec gap the entire competition. This helped him finish in 6th place. Junior Sam Setterlund used a strong final mile to move back into the race, where he managed an 8th place finish.

A trio of Lightning sophomores worked together throughout the race, never falling more than 5 seconds away from one another. They continued to push and challenge each other through the entire race finishing with Nate Getman in 12th, Hunter Dunne in 13th and PJ LaSota in 15th.

Next in for the Lightning was junior Grant Piller, who ran a solid race to finish in 26th place overall and 8th on the team, his highest finish ever. Running a solid PR in his first race back competing for the Lightning in over a year was senior Jack Busse with a 1:30 sec PR.

The Lightning are next in competition on Tuesday, September 24th at the Jefferson Invitational.

(NEW) JV BOYS SOCCER DROPS CLOSE ONE TO BURNSVILLE 

The Burnsville Blaze were the first to get on the scoreboard on Tuesday night when one of their forwards headed in a cross early in the game. The Blaze finished the half with a 2 to 0 lead, but the Lightning fought back hard in the second.

Despite being down a player due to a red card, lightning forward Robbie Crouch tapped in a cross from Cole Trinkle to bring the game to 2 to 1.  Eastview scored again when Mazin Ahmed snuck one by Burnsville’s goalie, tying the game 2 to 2. Unfortunately Burnsville took the lead again late in the game and defeated the Lightning 3 to 2.
