This year one of Lansing's spring sport teams qualified for the Scholar Athlete Team Award. In order to receive this award a varsity team must have an over-all average of 90 or above from a designated number of student/athletes that participated in a varsity sport of their choice. Varsity Girls Track & Field qualified for this award.

The team needed eleven athletes to qualify but Lansing qualified with 18 athletes.

So, you’re probably wondering what Waza Flo means. It stands for Wisdom, Awareness, Zen, Application, Fulfillment, Liberation, and Oneness. Waza Flo is a group of soccer teams that started in Michigan.  Lamarr Peters, the coach, and his friends originated this program to help kids learn to use the skills of soccer.

Lansing's Varsity Softball Team ended the season 16-6.  

The Lansing Varsity Softball team ended their year in the sectional quarterfinals losing to Chenango Valley 8-2.  Lansing jumped out to a 1-0 lead on the number three team in the state but saw it quickly vanish as CV scored 3 in the first and 2 in the third.  Lansing committed 6 errors on the game which turned things very quickly.   The girls did enjoy a great year 16-6 and qualified as the wild card for the IAC playoffs where they lost to Elmira Notre Dame (#5 State ranked) 1-0.

Lansing finished the year by wining 11 out of their last 14 games.  Lansing says good bye to three seniors: Liz Linberg, Katie Hranek, and Maegan Mikula.  The team will bring back 8 players for coach Heck's team next season.

Last week at sectionals Adam Hardie and Devin Grant-Keane played doubles and had 3 victories over teams from S. Cayuga, Trumansburg and Newark Valley to advance to the East-West crossover matches yesterday.   They played very well and defeated Seton # 1 doubles team 6-4, 6-3 to make it to the finals against END.  They lost 3-6, 6-7 (7-5) tiebreaker. 

Now we continue in the State Qualifier where all classes send the top 2 finishers for a double elimination tournament on Friday, May 26 to earn a chance to go to States held at Flushing Meadows, where US Open is held.  I'm very proud of how we have played to this point and feel we have a shot at going to States.

We had Katie Bruno and Walker Diebolt as 3rd Doubles Champions, Devin Grant-Keane runner-up in 1st Singles, Adam Hardie was 3rd at 2nd singles position and Hunter Preston and Sander Moolin were 3rd for 2nd doubles. In the Novice Tournament ( JV's) we had Tom Zarate beat Travis Miller to win the male singles and the doubles team of Tyler Engels and Tom Wilson were second in the mixed doubles competition. It was a fun day of some very hard played matches. We only lose 2 seniors from the starting line-up so the future looks great for next year's team.
