Strong Starts for Fall Sports; Bowling Joins HNA Athletic Roster this Winter

F or an unprecedented 12 years in a row, Holy Names Academy has won the Metro League

All-Sports Trophy, the league’s highest honor. In 2019-20, Cougar teams are collectively determined to make it 13 years! Our fall sports teams are off to a great start. Please come cheer on your favorite HNA teams at their competitions; your young women love the fan support.

New this Year: Cougar Bowling Team Holy Names Academy will add a 14th sport to its roster of interscholastic athletics this year, when bowling joins the 2019-20 winter sports lineup. The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) added bowling as a sport 15 years ago. But the 2019-20 winter season will mark the first year that the Seattle Metropolitan League—in which HNA competes in all but three of its sports—will make bowling a Metro League sport. Tryout and coaching-staff information will appear in the November edition of Cougar Corner.

Winter-Sports Physical Forms and Online Registration Deadline: Oct. 28 Students planning to turn out for basketball, bowling, gymnastics or winter crew must have their online registration completed and their sports-physical form submitted to the Athletic Office by Monday, October 28. Go to the Athletic Eligibility page on the HNA website for instructions. Athletes must undergo a physical exam every 13 months to participate in any interscholastic sport. Fall-sport athletes must additionally register to play a winter or spring sport, but should find the process simple and quick, using the school’s FamilyID online registration process.

Jogathon 2019

The Jogathon event on September 18 featured a sunny, exciting, and colorful day of student bonding—and one that looks to have successfully raised funds to support the teams in the 14 Cougar sports. All the young women of our school walked or ran their 10 required laps! The Montlake track was adorned in class colors of Cadets yellow (Class of ’20), Skippers r ed (’21), Pipers blue (’22), and FreshMoney green (’23), while DJ Bradon from Radio Parties played their favorite tunes. Thank you to all our students for their great effort, and, of course, to the friends and family who so generously supported their efforts.

Not too late: If you would like to make a contribution to the Jogathon fundraising efforts, please visit the Jogathon donation page on the HNA website.
