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.”

Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

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)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)

Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”
