Perfect Shot!

In the past few weeks, Junior Olympian Sydney Goldschlag assisted in training the members of Chaminade’s Riflery Team. Yesterday, ten members of the team competed in a postal match against Central Square Central School from upstate New York. For those of you unfamiliar with riflery matches, here is how it works: ten guys shoot ten shots at three different targets, and their shot’s distance from the bullseye determines a point value out of 100. Afterwards, the riflery team mails their best scores to Central Square and a judge. Since the competition yesterday was a postal match, the winner will be determined in about a week. Overall, the riflery team has had a tremendously successful season, posting an impressive 11-1 record.

Later on, Chaminade will hold placement tests and band, orchestra, and Glee Club auditions for the incoming freshman. Welcome to Chaminade!
