![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Fun Run for Stacy Danielson
Students of CP were also seen at the Fun Run.
October 7, 2016
The sun rises as the gates to the CPHS track opens. Around 200 people filter in with numbers plastered on their backs and big smiles on their faces. They were ready to support.
On Sat. Sep. 17, people from all around Cedar Park came to support Celebrities coach Stacy Danielson, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Before Cross Country’s annually hosted Cedar Park XC Invitational, XC hosted a Fun Run and all proceedings went to Danielson.
“It was important for us to help Mrs. Danielson because she is going through a tough time and as part of the community we just need to do everything we can to show our support for her,” boy’s XC captain, senior Sam Walters said.
While the team did host the run, they didn’t actually participate because of their competitive meet right after, according to sophomore Sophia Roach.
“We had competitive races following the run but the Fun Run was a huge success in helping raise funds for Team Stacy’s fight against cancer,” Roach said.
According to girl’s Captain Sarah Pia, the meet was a success, both with the Fun Run and with the Invitational as well.
“It was a success because a lot of people woke up early just to support Mrs. Danielson,” Pia said. “I don’t know how much was raised, but I do know that over 200 people signed up for the run.”
Danielson has been with CP for many years, and honoring her is important according to Pia.
“Since both our teams [cross country teams, boys and girls] are highly ranked in the state, we have a lot of publicity on us right now,” Pia said. “We wanted to use the publicity positively by raising awareness to cancer and help Mrs. Danielson fight cancer.”

All students and staff are safe. “All of my friends left their stuff too, so we couldn’t contact our parents, and it was stressful,” senior Brynn Fowler said. “It was scary because I didn’t know [what was going on], and I couldn’t find anyone because it was a big crowd.” Photo by Anthony Garcia](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/firetruck-300x200.jpg)
