For a student here at USM, sports are one of the many
activities they take part in. As a private school, USM has the chance to allow
each and everyone one of its students to participate in a sport through the
no-cut policy; meaning no one will be cut from the sport if the are not at an advance
level. I believe this is one of the many unique things USM offers to its
students. There are many sports that are offered for all including field
hockey, lacrosse, cross-country, hockey, and the list can go on. Signing up for
a sport as an incoming student is a great way to meet new students even before
school begins in the fall through summer practices. As an incoming freshman, I
joined the cross-country team, which helped me build life-long friendships as
well as relationships with people from different grades.
These past few months have been very exciting for all the
fall sports. Our girl’s field hockey team is the undefeated state champions of
the 2015 fall season as well as the USM’s girls varsity tennis team won the
division two state champion. I recently participated in the school’s
cross-country team and it has been a fun filled and rewarding season. At
conferences, both boys and girls cross country won together. This was the first
time both boys and girls team had won during the same year. Also at sectionals
races two of or best girl runners placed in the top five qualifying them for a
chance at the state meet in Wisconsin Rapids. I have learned so much by being
apart of this team such as improving my skills as a team leader and connecting
with students who I never thought had so much in common with me. Overall this
month of October was filled with enthusiasm and has made me excited for the
upcoming winter sports.
