![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)

Wolfmart stops selling ramen
In preparation for B lunch, senior DECA members Alyssa Cepeda and Christina Land ready themselves. “We advertise more for cookies now because we depend on them,” Cepeda said. Now that ramen is outlawed, the Wolfmart sells water, G2, and Otis cookies.

The Wolfmart sold their last cup of Ramen Sept. 11. Once a top-seller, ramen now violates USDA nutrition guidelines because it has too much sodium and its first ingredient is not whole grain.
Ramen made up about 50 percent of the Wolfmart’s total sales, according to DECA Adviser Kimberly Stapleton, who oversees the student-run enterprise.
DECA, which operates the Wolfmart, uses the store to finance their club.
“DECA spends its money on social events throughout the year and expenses for competition at the district, state, and international levels,” senior DECA member Daniel Matas said.
DECA is currently searching for new products in conjunction with LaBatt Food Service Representative John Gallimore and Lead Cafeteria Manager Robin Plett.
“We’re considering snack items the cafeteria doesn’t sell that would be a whole-grain meal replacement,” Stapleton said.
