Girls Tennis
Congratulations to the Kennedy Catholic Girls Varsity Tennis team for winning their third straight undefeated Seamount League title! This year the team combined for a 14-0 team record made up of a 91-7 individual match record. In the last three years, the varsity team has compiled a team record of 42-0 and an individual match record of 257-33. They will also be retiring a 43-0 Seamount League conference game win streak as they prepare to move into the NPSL in the 2016-17 school year.

Softball
Congratulations to Lancer Softball for claiming their 11th straight Seamount League championship! The team will be competing in Districts today and tomorrow.

Baseball
Congratulations to our Baseball team which is the Seamount League Champion! Moving through the WCD bracket in a must-win game, our Lancers got off to a great start building a 5-0 lead heading into the fifth inning. Bats got hot for our opponent though as they scored eight runs before the Lancers could stop their momentum. Although the Lancers kept pressing, they ended up losing 8-5, ending their season. The team made great strides through the season and were a great representation of Kennedy Catholic baseball!

Boys Soccer
The Lancers beat Auburn High School 2-0 in a loser-out game Tuesday, leading them to another loser-out game versus Auburn Riverside High School on May 16. Unfortunately, the team lost 3-0 and ended their season. This young team will bounce back next year in the NPSL!

Girls Lacrosse
The girls team ended their season with a win at Wenatchee High School. Their season record was 6 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties. Congrats Girls Lacrosse!

Boys Lacrosse
The boys team ended their season with a game at Bellarmine Prep. Great progress was made within the program's culture this year. Well done Boys Lacrosse!

Boys and Girls Track and Field

Boys and Girls Golf

Volleyball and Girls Swim
