![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)
![Bringing her arm over her head and taking a quick breath, junior Lauren Lucas swims the final laps of the 500 freestyle at the regionals swimming competition on date. 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)

How Matt Wofford asked Beth Rozacky:
“Matt invited me over under the pretense of playing video games. After kicking my butt at Mario Kart for fifty rounds I gave up and wanted to leave but he stopped me and handed me a huge box. It was really heavy and inside was a huge chocolate cake with a flower on top. He had written ‘PROM??’ in glitter letters on the flower. It was really cute and obviously well planned which I appreciated. I said yes.” – Rozacky.
How Tyler Edwards asked Coley Padgett:
“It was Tyler and I’s six months (May 5) and we were at the dodge ball tournament that Thursday night. Tyler’s team had played two games already, and after their second game the whole team came over to the stands where I was sitting. They lifted up their shirts one by one, each having the letters P-R-O-M-? on their tummies. Immediately I ran down the stands to hug him.” -Padgett.
How Kevin Nguyen asked Becca Sims:
“I wanted to ask Becca Sims to prom and since we were both in Broadcast, I decided to use that to ask her. On a day we were both hosting , I made a plan to surprise her during taping and had some of the Broadcast class help. I had the director, Sarah Solorio, make it seem like we messed up and needed another take so that I could put my plan into action. As we started rolling again Amit Sharma held up a sign and changed the teleprompter to say “Will you go to prom with me?” She was really shocked because she had no idea what was going on but she eventually said yes.” – Nguyen
