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)

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].”

Swim glides into State
Junior Victoria Sanaikone breaststrokes during the State competition.
March 23, 2016
The cool water washed over her as she glided steady through the water, coming up for breaths every thirty seconds, she made her way down the line. Lap after lap she swam, feeling the exhilarating power of her arms and legs fighting the ever present current of the stagnant water. Finally, she moves deliberately forward, placing her hand on the wall and standing next to the wall. She did it.
This year, the swim team has gone through some changes such as the arrival of the new coach, Dean Lackey.
“It’s really different having a new coach because we are trying to get to know him and figure out how he works and how he teaches,” sophomore Chandler Hudges said.
The 2015-16 year has incited many changes for the girls, as they made it to state placing 10 overall out of 50 teams.
“State was super fun,” Hudges said. “I went last year as a freshman and it was cool to go again as a sophomore. Since only six of us went, we all grew really close and formed a tight bond.”
One of the six girls to go was junior Victoria Sanaikone, who explains her favorite part about going to state. The season starts out easy, according to Sanaikone.
“The season starts out easy because everyone is getting back and then it progressively gets harder and harder,” Sanaikone said.
While state is an achievement in itself, junior Kristen Peron explains the steps they had to take to get where they are.
“Before meets the team usually gets together a couple nights prior to, and we all eat a ton of carbs because those are a good energy source during meets,” Peron said. “We also get extra rest during our practices so we don’t over work our muscles before our race.”
Swim meets last a typical two days, with prelims one day and finals the next. State worked pretty much the same way for the girls this year. Hudges explains what she would love to see next year.
“I would love to see more of my teammates competing at state next year,” Hudges said.
This year was a string of wins and losses for the girls, but they did place well in state.
“My favorite part about the season was all of the friendships that came out of the team, because the bonds that we formed will last a lifetime,” Hudges said.
