Fall Roundup: Oct. 18-23

Park Hill Cross Country
Freshman Kim Rau ran away with the Class 4 District 8 meet last weekend at Scottsdale Park in Liberty as she placed first, a whole 18 seconds in front of the meet's second place finisher. Other runners included Brooke Bischof (12th), Maggie Lanham (21st), Chelsey Lewis (24th), Joanna Grauberger (26th), Maddie Bischof (30th), and Maddie Hemphill (31). As a team, Park Hill finished fourth, just a single second on average behind third place finisher St. Joe Central.

The Park Hill Boys finished seventh with top runners including Nathan Huffer (19th), Kainen Utt (31st), and Andy Iverson (39th).

Park Hill Boys Soccer
The Trojan soccer team defeated their most serious threat to the conference title in Lee's Summit West last week 3-0 with goals from Ray Lee, David Zdvorak and Cole Walker. The shutout is credited to Shane VanHooser. Park Hill is 19-2-1 on the season and can wrap up an undefeated conference season against North Kansas City this week. District play begins next week with the Trojans as the top seed. On Tuesday, November 2nd they will face the winner of the #4 Staley/#5 St. Joe Central game from the previous night. A win will match Park Hill against the winner of the #2 Park Hill South/#3 Oak Park game for the district championship Thursday, November 4th at Staley.
Park Hill Girls Tennis
Park Hill's exciting team run to the final four of the state playoffs ended just short of a chance to play for a state title last week as the team fell to Columbia Rock Bridge 5-2 in the semi-finals. Suzanne Barth and Kate Skorija won their singles matches, but Rock Bridge claimed four straight matches to need only one doubles win to clinch the victory. For third place against Parkway Central, Park Hill came out hot winning five of the six singles matches to claim victory at 5-1.

Individually, junior Suzanne Barth's dream of a state title fell short as she saw an early round exit when eventual state champion Lindsey Whitehead of Ladue Horton Watkins won in straight sets at 6-2, 6-3. Kate Skorija and Brooke Barnard also were eliminated by a Ladue team in the doubles tournament as they lost 6-3, 6-2 to Camden Newton and Annie Kopp.
 
Park Hill Volleyball
Park Hill Volleyball's season came to an end on Monday night with a loss to Oak Park in the first round of the district tournament. They fell 2-1. After winning a close second game to force a third 25-23, the Trojans couldn't keep up with Northmen as they fell 25-17 in the final game. They finish the season 14-16-1.

Park Hill Girls Golf
