  DSHA Competes in First Flag Football Event
  The Green Bay Packers hosted the first ever “Packers Girls Flag Football Open” on Saturday, April 1 in Green Bay.  Girls flag football is being sanctioned as a high school sport in more and more states across the country and several NAIA Colleges now offer scholarships for girls to play at the collegiate level.  As a result, the Green Bay Packers wanted to see those same opportunities provided to high school girls in the State of Wisconsin with their goal being to have girls flag football sanctioned as a WIAA sport in the coming years. All schools in the State were encouraged to apply and 10 schools were randomly drawn from those applications.  DSHA was one of those 10 schools!  English teacher and field hockey coach, Quinn Loucks and Wellness and Health teacher and freshman basketball coach, Jess Liban took 13 girls to Green Bay to compete in the event.  The girls were treated to a welcoming speaker at Lambeau Field.  They then went on a Stadium Tour and got to go through the Packers Hall of Fame.  Following lunch, they headed across the street to the Don Hutson Center and competed in several individual and team skills challenges that tested speed, agility, and athleticism.  To wrap up the day, they played 3 games in a jamboree style format. DSHA won all three games!  They beat Clayton 44-19 in the first game, beat Milwaukee King in the second game 49-13 and beat Wauwayega-Fremant in the third game 39-21!  Out of the 10 teams competing only two teams went undefeated and DSHA was one of them!  They played two 12 minute halves during each game.  The Packers provided funds for transportation and Nike uniforms which the girls got to keep.  In addition, the NAIA colleges who offer girls flag football scholarships were all invited to come and watch the event.  It was a great event! Thanks to the coaches and student-athletes who participated in this first of a kind event and represented DSHA in such a positive way!

  Varsity Soccer Games livestreamed
  Thanks to Coach Steve Lawrence, we are going to livestream all of our Varsity soccer games this season via “Veo Live”.  It’s an app that needs to be downloaded.  Currently, there still is not a desktop app, so you can only view via a tablet or phone.  

  1.  Once you’ve downloaded the app, and signed up for a free account, search for “MUHS”.  We are sharing the software Coach Lawrence uses with Marquette University HS (the scoreboard may show “MUHS”, etc.  Just know that MUHS = DSHA).
  2.  Click on the “Follow” button once your search result shows MUHS.
  3.  Use this link to take you directly to the MUHS (DSHA) games:  https://veolive.page.link/2ow6

  PLEASE REMEMBER - the success of livestreaming games at different facilities, depends on the cellular coverage in that area.  Understand that it won’t always work or it may pause, but we are hoping it works most of the time.

  
  Maura Reardon ’20 Excells at Synchronized Skating
  Alumnae, Maura Reardon ‘20 has competed in the synchronized skating since 2011 (synchronized skating is a team of 16 skaters all on the ice at the same time skating in unison).  Maura is currently skating for Miami University’s Senior Varsity Synchronized Skating Team.  This is the highest level a skater can compete at.  Because of their success this season, her team was selected to compete as Team USA at an international competition in Salzburg and Milan this winter, which was a dream come true for Maura.  In early March, Maura and her team earned the silver medal at US Nationals, where they were then named to the World Team.  They will compete as Team USA at the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships in Lake Placid March 31- April 1.  US Figure Skating selects 2 teams to represent that United States at Worlds, where they will compete against 23 teams, representing 19 countries.

  DSHA has obtained NFHS Level 1 and Level 2 School Honor Roll status for the 2021-2022 school year.  The NFHS School Honor Roll is a national recognition program designed to promote professional development for high school coaches by completing specific online education courses through the NFHS Learning Center (www.NFHSLearn.com). In earning Level 1 status, more than 90 percent of the coaches at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School completed the core course “Fundamentals of Coaching” along with three of the Learning Center’s most significant courses – “Concussion in Sports,” “Sudden Cardiac Arrest” and “Protecting Students from Abuse.” Level 2 status was also achieved because more than 90 percent of coaches at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School completed courses that pertained specifically to sports they coach, along with “First Aid, Health and Safety,” “Heat Illness Prevention” and “Student Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.”  DSHA is one of only two schools in the State of Wisconsin to earn both Level 1 and Level 2 certification in 2021-2022.  We are proud of our coaching staff who continue to grow professionally so they can be the best coaches for our student-athletes.  Congratulations!

  The 2021 Coaches’ Award 
  The Coaches’ Award has been a tradition since 1989 and is voted on by the Varsity Coaches.  It is presented to the athlete who has demonstrated sportsmanship, leadership, a good work ethic and desire in practice and game situations.

  The 2021 recipient of the Coaches’ award was Abby Horning.  Abby competed in downhill ski and soccer and earned 8 varsity letters which means she was on the varsity team in both sports all four years! Freshman year Abby led the Varsity Ski team that won the first State Ski Championship in school history!  She finished 4th overall as an individual at the State Championship and was named First Team All-Conference and All-State.  Sophomore year Abby again led the Downhill Ski team to their second State Championship in school history following the first undefeated conference championship in school history. She was also named First Team All-Conference.  In soccer, she helped her team win the Conference Championship, the WIAA Regional and WIAA Sectional Championship and helped bring home the WIAA State Runner-Up trophy. Junior year Abby led her ski team to another Conference Championship and a State Runner-Up finish, as well as an individual 3rd place overall finish.  In addition, she was named Second Team All-Conference.  Unfortunately her soccer season was cancelled junior year due to COVID.  Senior year Abby led her team to another downhill ski State Championship and finished overall individually in second place at the State ski race. She was named First Team All-Conference and All-State.  Abby continued her winning ways in soccer helping lead the team to an undefeated Conference Championship, WIAA Regional Championship, WIAA Sectional Championship and the WIAA D1 State Championship! Abby’s ski career included 3 State Championships and a Runner-Up and her soccer career included a State Runner-Up and a State Championship! Truly amazing.  

  Abby was also named a Greater Metro Conference Scholar Athlete junior and senior year and has demonstrated great leadership skills. Abby truly exemplifies all of the attributes the Coaches Award is looking to acknowledge.  Abby will attend the University of Connecticut in the fall where she will continue her ski career. Congratulations!

  The 2021 recipient of the Sportswoman of the Year award was Emily Capper.   Emily earned 5 varsity letters in Basketball and Track and Field. Freshman year she played Varsity Basketball.  Sophomore year Emily was on the Varsity Basketball team which won the WIAA Regional Championship.  Junior year Emily was on the Varsity Basketball team and was named Captain. The team won the WIAA Regional Championship, the WIAA Sectional Championship and the team was a State Qualifier.  Unfortunately, the State Championship was never played due to COVID and the spring season was cancelled. Senior year Emily was a member of the Varsity Basketball team where she was named Captain for the second year in a row, and her team won the WIAA Regional Championship and were the WIAA Sectional Runner-Up.  Emily was named First Team All-Conference.  She then went on to compete on the Track and Field team this spring where she was named the Team Chaplain and qualified for the State Track and Field meet.

Congratulations to the team, coaches and especially our senior players including Sierra Cannon, Lauren DeStefanis, Maggie Dineen, Lauren Ferge, Fiona Gallagher, Grace Grahek, Elizabeth Merz, Halle Quadracci, Ellie Rehmann, and Maddie Schmidt.  Great job!

  Golf

  Cross Country
  This year the DSHA cross country team hosted a school supplies drive for Penfield Children’s Center in Milwaukee. Boxes were set up in two classrooms and girls were able to drop off things like Ziploc bags, Play-doh, dry erase markers, and more to donate to Penfield.

  Volleyball
  With all that has gone on with COVID-19, and with the nurses and other healthcare providers working to help others, the DSHA volleyball team decided to write thank-you letters to these workers. They thanked them for all that they have been doing during this time and recognize that their work has not gone unnoticed.

  Tennis
  This year the DSHA tennis team organized a team collection drive to collect feminine hygiene products to donate to the Sojourner Truth Family House. Throughout the course of the season, the team had boxes set up at each practice for the girls to bring different items such as shampoo and other hair products.

  WIAA Extends Physicals for Fall of 2020
  If you are having trouble getting a physical scheduled for your athlete and have a physical on file at DSHA, you can file for an extension if you meet certain criteria. Our first choice would be to try and get a physical for your daughter before her fall sport begins in August. We are also looking into partnering with Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin to have athletic physicals avaiable prior to fall sports. More information will be provided as soon as we have it. If neither option works prior to the beginning of fall sports, the WIAA is providing a waiver which must be completed and on file prior to the first day of fall sports.
  
  WIAA Membership rules require a physical examination prior to participation in interscholastic athletics and every two years thereafter. The board's action allows a one-time extension of the two-year period for student athletes with physical exams forms already on file. For fall sports in 2020, student athletes that have had a physical within the past two years may receive an extension into the third year until they are able to get a physical with their primary care physician.
  
  Parents of participants are required to complete the newly created physical examination extension form and submit the document to the Athletic Administrative Assistant at DSHA. If answers to any of the questions on the form raises medical concerns since the physical form on file, or if a student athlete has not had a sports physical in the past two years, one will be required before the student athlete will be allowed to participate in practice or competition.
  
  Questions or need a form? Contact Athletic Director Peggy Seegers-Braun or Athletic Administrative Assistant Maureen Stowell.

  Field Hockey Team Excels in St. Louis Tournament

  The Varsity and Varsity Reserve field hockey teams traveled to St. Louis for the Gateway Classic Tournament August 30-September 1. Both teams faced stiff competition and weather disruption over the course of the three-day event. The Varsity team finished second in their pool after tying the pool champions South Oldham (Kentucky) 0-0 in the final game. South Oldham had come into the match having scored 14 goals in the previous two games, but the impressive defense of the Dashers led by juniors Kaitlyn Mulcahy and Jordan Bonk shut South Oldham down. Ultimately the Varsity squad finished with 1 win and 2 ties with goals scored by freshman Morgan Mackey and junior Gracie Hecht. Both were assisted by junior Maddie Kellner. The Varsity Reserve finished fourth in their pool with two losses and a tie. This is the third year for the VR to travel to St. Louis and it is a chance for them to play varsity programs from around the country. They tied St. Dominic (Missouri) in their first game 1-1 with a goal by senior Megan Mikolajewski. In their second game they scored two goals, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their opponents. While in St. Louis the team was hosted for a pizza party by friend of the program, Aim Field Hockey Owner and Director, Lauren Cornthwaite and her family. This tradition started years back and is one of the highlights of the trip for the players and coaches who value Lauren’s friendship and expertise.

  Coaches Award, Sportswoman of the Year Award, and WIAA Scholar Athlete Award

  The Coaches Award has been a tradition since 1989 and is voted on by the Varsity Coaches.  It is presented to the athlete who has demonstrated sportsmanship, leadership, a good work ethic and desire in practice and game situations.

   

  This year’s recipient is Logan White.  Logan has been a four year varsity tennis #1 singles player and was a captain her senior year.  Freshman year the tennis team was the Greater Metro Conference Runner-up.  She was named the Conference Player of the Year, was First Team All-Conference #1 Singles, First Team All-State and qualified for the WIAA Individual Singles State Tournament. Sophomore year the tennis team was again the Greater Metro Conference Runner-Up and was the WIAA Sectional Runner-Up.  Logan was named Second Team All-Conference #1 Singles, WIAA Sectional Champion #1 Singles, First Team All-State, and placed 5th at the WIAA Individual Singles State Tournament.  Junior year, the tennis team was the Greater Metro Conference Runner-up and the Conference Tournament Champion.  Logan was First Team All-Conference #1 Singles, Greater Metro Conference Player of the Year, WIAA Sectional Runner-Up #1 Singles, First Team All-State and placed 5th at the WIAA Individual Singles State Tournament. Logan saved her best for her senior year as her team won the Greater Metro Conference Tournament Championship.  She was named First Team All-Conference #1 Singles, GMC Player of the Year, WIAA Sectional Runner-Up #1 singles, and First Team All-State.  Logan and her teammates were the WIAA Division-1 Team State Runner-Up and Logan was the Division-1 Individual State Singles Runner-Up.  

   

  Logan was also named a Greater Metro Conference Scholar Athlete, was a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Council junior and senior year and was the Secretary senior year and has demonstrated great leadership skills, and won the Frank Parker Junior Award presented by the Wisconsin Tennis Association and nominated as a finalist for the Journal Sentinel High School Tennis Awards three times.  Logan truly exemplifies all of the attributes the Coaches Award is looking to acknowledge.  Logan will attend Butler University in the fall where she will continue her tennis career.  She will surely be missed next year but we can’t wait to hear how her tennis career continues to unfold.

   

  The Sportswoman of the Year Award has been a tradition at DSHA since 1955.  This award is chosen by the senior class and is given to the person in the graduating class whom they feel represents their class as the best athlete.

   

  This year’s recipient is Ellie Cesarz.   Ellie participated in Volleyball and Basketball all four years.  Freshman year she played freshman volleyball and JV basketball.  Sophomore year Ellie participated in JV volleyball and Varsity basketball where she helped her team win the WIAA Regional Championship.  Junior year Ellie played Varsity Volleyball and her team won the Greater Metro Conference Tournament, they were the WIAA Regional Champions, WIAA Sectional Champions and the team placed third at the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament.  Ellie also played Varsity Basketball junior year and was named Honorable Mention All-Conference.  Senior year Ellie played Varsity Volleyball and the team won the Greater Metro Conference dual meet Championship with an undefeated record.  They went on to win the WIAA Regional Championship and were the WIAA Sectional Runner-Up.  She then went on to play Varsity Basketball where the team finished in second place in the Greater Metro Conference and went on to win the WIAA Regional Championship.

   

  Ellie was a chosen as a finalist for the “I AM Sport” award presented by the Journal Sentinel at their High School Sports Awards.  She was also a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Council her senior year. Ellie is a great athlete and a fantastic leader and her peers have recognized this in their voting for this award.  Ellie will attend St. Louis University and will study Occupational Therapy.  She will be missed next year by the Volleyball and Basketball teams.

   

  The WIAA Scholar Athlete is an award presented by the WIAA.  It is given to a senior who has earned at least 4 varsity letters in WIAA sanctioned sports, has a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and is an outstanding athlete.  The recipient of the scholar athlete medal for 2019 is Sara Maslowski.

Next,  our girls helped residents sort recycled plastics for the creation of bed mats for residents of Milwaukee that do not have adequate housing. In addition, the team helped build "memory frames" for several residents. It was a really nice afternoon. Through this service experience at St. Anne's, the track and field team was able to view the world briefly from the eyes of elderly men and women. The residents of St. Anne's enjoyed the discussion and the activity.

Both of those were new State Indoor records!  Congratulations Jadin and the track and field team!

  Lacrosse
  2018 marked the inaugural Varsity season for lacrosse at DSHA.  The team competed on the JV level in 2017 and expanded to a Varsity and JV team in 2018. The Varsity team’s regular season record was 7-6 in Conference play.  They moved into post-season play and were seeded 11th out of 27 teams in the State Tournament.  In the first round, they hosted the Westsiders from Madison and won 11-8 in an exciting game.  They then faced Waukesha in the next round and lost that game 4-17 to end their season.  Congratulations on a successful first Varsity season!
  
  

  Soccer
  The soccer team had another outstanding season with a 6-2 Conference record which gave them a second place finish in Conference and an overall record of 10-5-3.  In post-season play the team defeated Milwaukee King in the Regional Semi-Final game 10-0 at Quad Park.  They then took on Neenah at Quad Park and lost a hard fought battle which was tied 1-1 after regulation and two ten minute overtime periods.  The teams then went to a shootout which they came up on the short end 7-8 to end their season.  Although a heartbreaking way to end the season, the team really did have a great journey of improvement and teamwork. Congratulations!
  
  

  Softball
  The softball team turned in another great season. They finished 9-7 in Conference play which placed them fourth in the new nine team GMC Conference and 13-9 overall in the regular season in what was a challenging season of uncooperative weather.  In post-season play, the team defeated Milwaukee Vincent by forfeit in the Regional Semi-Final game and then went on to defeat Germantown 7-3 in the Regional Championship to claim the WIAA Regional plaque.  The team then took on Menomonee Falls in the Sectional Semi-Final and lost 0-11 to end their season. Congratulations on another exciting and successful season!
  
  

  Rugby
  The rugby team, coming off a second place finish at the Midwest Rugby Tournament, traveled to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to compete in the Single School National Rugby Championships. The Dashers took on Warsaw in the quarter-finals on May 19 and won 68-0. Later that day, they competed against Kahuku, Hawaii in the semi-finals and lost a close game 24-25.  This put the team into the third place game on May 20 where they defeated Orchard Park, New York 52-7 to claim third place in the National Tournament.  Congratulations!
  
  

  Track and Field

  The Varsity Track and Field team had a great season.  They broke 5 indoor and 5 outdoor school records! In the Conference meets they placed 3rd in the Indoor, 4th in the Relays and 2nd in the Outdoor which is one of the highest finishes in school history.  The team placed 3rd in the WIAA Regional and Sectional meets and competed in 8 events at the WIAA State meet on June 1st and 2nd.  Those making the podium included Jadin O’Brien who placed 2nd in the 300 Hurdles and 3rd in the Long Jump. Congratulations on a record-breaking season!

  Coaches Award and Sportswoman of the Year Award

   
  The Coaches Award has been a tradition since 1989 and is voted on by the Varsity Coaches.  It is presented to the athlete who has demonstrated sportsmanship, leadership, a good work ethic and desire in practices and game situations.
  
  

  This year’s recipient is Megan Crevoiserat.  Megan has been a four year varsity starter on the soccer team and was a captain of the Varsity Soccer team her senior year.  Megan was a member of the WIAA Division 1 State Championship team her sophomore year and shared that experience with her sister Emily who was a senior.  That year she was named First Team All-Conference and Honorable Mention All-State.  Junior year the Varsity Soccer team won the WIAA Regional Championship and Megan was named First Team All-Conference, First Team All-Area and First Team All-State, in addition to being nominated for the Journal Sentinel High School Awards for Soccer.  Senior year soccer is still in progress but if history repeats itself, I would imagine that Megan will again be named All-Conference and All-State.  She was also named a finalist for the Journal Sentinel High School Soccer Awards.

   

  Megan was also named a Greater Metro Conference Scholar Athlete in Soccer her senior year.  She was a member of the Student Athletic Advisory Council and has demonstrated great leadership skills.  Megan truly exemplifies all of the attributes the Coaches Award is looking to acknowledge.  Megan will attend St. Louis University in the fall where she will continue her soccer career.  She will surely be missed next year but we can’t wait to hear how her soccer career continues to unfold. 
   

  The Sportswoman of the Year Award has been a tradition at DSHA since 1955.  This award is chosen by the senior class and is given to the person in the graduating class whom they feel represents their class as the best athlete. 
  
  

  This year’s recipient is Meghan Scott.   Meghan has been a Varsity Cross Country Runner all four years, as well as a Varsity Track and Field runner every year except junior year when she was injured for the entire season.  Freshman year she led the Cross Country team to a 2nd place finish at Sectionals and an 11th place finish at State.  She was named First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-State. Sophomore year she helped the team win the first WIAA Sectional Championship and the team finished in 5th place at State.  She was named First Team All-Conference and GMC Runner of the Year for winning the Conference meet, First Team All-Area and First Team All-State.  Junior year was Meghan’s best season.  She helped lead the team to the WIAA Sectional Runner-Up and 7th place finish at State and Meghan won the WIAA Division 1 Individual State Championship.  She was also First Team All-Conference, Greater Metro Conference Runner of the Year, First Team All-Area, First Team All-State and was named the Wisconsin Gatorade Cross Country Runner of the Year.  Senior year Meghan led the team to a Sectional Title, 7th place finish at State and a 5th place individual finish.  She was named First Team All-Conference, GMC Runner of the Year and First Team All-State.  Due to her injury during the track and field season her junior year, she only participated in three years of varsity track.  Freshman year she was First Team All-Conference Indoor 800 meters, Second Team All-Conference Indoor 3200 meter relay, Second Team All-Conference Relays 6400 meter relay, First Team All-Conference Outdoor 3200 meter relay and Second Team All-Conference Outdoor 800 meter run.  Sophomore year she was First Team All-Conference Relays 6400 meter relay, Second Team All-Conference Relays 800 meter relay, Third Team All-Conference indoor 1600 meter run, Third Team All-Conference Indoor 3200 meter relay and Third Team All-Conference in the mile run.  Senior year Meghan was First Team All-Conference Indoor 1600 meter run, First team All-Conference Relays 1600 meter relay, and Second Team All-Conference Relays 6400 meter relay, Second Team All-Conference Outdoor 1600 meter run and First Team All-Conference Outdoor 4X400 meter relay.

   

  Meghan was also named a Greater Metro Conference Scholar Athlete in Cross Country and Track and Field her senior year.  She truly is a tremendous athlete and her peers have recognized that in their voting for this award.  Meghan will attend the University of Notre Dame in the fall where she will compete in Cross Country and Track and Field.  She will surely be missed next year by the Cross Country and Track and Field teams and has left her mark in school history.

  The Myths and Realities of College Recruiting seminar May 2
  There is no magic wand involved in the college recruiting process. It requires objectivity, understanding and a proactive approach by both the parents and the student-athlete. First, you must have the recruiting knowledge and information to develop the proper recruiting game plan. Second, you must be diligent in understanding the ever-changing world of college athletics and recruiting guidelines.

   

  This is why Midwest Collegiate Prospects has organized an educational seminar for interested parents and student-athletes. We feel that you will leave the seminar with a greater understanding of the college recruiting process and what steps you need to take to properly implement a game plan in order to be recruited to play college sports. The sooner that a college coach knows about the student-athlete – the greater the chance to be recruited.  Click here for more information.

Students will be able to observe and experience the field of Sports Medicine/Athletic Training. Students accepted into the program will be expected to be available three nights per week with coverage of at least one event per week between August and May. Students will gain knowledge of anatomy and physiology, first aid, taping/wrapping, stretching, rehabilitation of injuries, and general athletic training procedures during games and practices. The goal of the program is to prepare the student for future education and professional responsibility in the athletic training/sports medicine field.  Note: If you are a student-athlete and are interested in becoming a Student-Athletic Trainer, you may do so.

  Track and Field Team Gives Back
  The track and field team traveled to St. Ann’s on May 8 to spend time with the residents. They helped the residents make stars out of string and beads for one of their upcoming events. In addition, they played card games and had nice conversations getting to know the residents. It was a great way to spend time together as a team and reach out to those at St. Ann’s.
