The varsity boys, JV boys and JV girls all placed third and the varsity girls placed fourth. “Coach put in the right training for us for this season, so I think we will be peaking this week and the next couple of weeks,” varsity runner and junior Nathan Kukla said. “The chances of making it to state are very high, but we don’t settle for the lowest and there is always going to be that chance, so [we] race for the best.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Heidi-831-1200x900.jpg)

But I think the reason it went well [was that] people got to ask questions. I'm glad that she said so much in response to the questions and it wasn't just one and done. [The author’s responses] felt very articulate.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sebastian-5-1200x800.jpg)

During the summer, Peterson traveled to Colombia to help build an elementary school that only had two classrooms but five or six grades with one teacher. “We add[ed] two more classrooms,” Peterson said. “It’s kind of hard when you have two or three grades in one classroom and you only have one teacher. It’s very hard to actually get some beneficial learning. [The extra classrooms will give the students] a better quality of education because they’ll actually have a place specific for their learning.” Photo by Taylor Peterson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taylor-P.png)

It was just really important for us to win this match since it was the district finals. [When we won I felt] overwhelmingly happy, especially being there with my teammates and it being my senior year. It was just really great. It [felt] like a community.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tennis-Districts-e1728060882260.png)
Theater Programs Haunt the Halloween Weekend
Cedar Park theater students prepare for visitors to their haunted carnival on Friday, Oct. 27.
October 30, 2017
From killer clowns to demented jack-in-the-boxes, Cedar Park High School and Middle School theater programs came together to make an unforgettably spooky Halloween weekend.
This past weekend, on Oct. 27 & 28, both theater programs worked tirelessly to scare the brave souls who dared enter their haunted carnival. Even while just waiting in line to get into the haunted house, visitors were entertained and spooked by a few haunted creatures such as Blue, the unicycle-riding clown and Maryl, the over-excited friendly fright. Once inside, the terrifying scares only got worse with creatures such as a ghoulish circus conductor, a bloody-eyed hospital patient, chainsaw-wielding clowns and even a Pennywise from the movie “IT”.
Mrs. Hathcock and the theater students pulled off a fantastically terrifying haunted event this October that will definitely linger in the minds of those who attended for nights to come.
