Grabbing onto climbing holds, Kayden Ozdemir ‘24 attempts climb 30 during the first competition of the climbing season, arranged by American Scholastic Climbing League, at Denver Bouldering Club South Nov. 11. Ozdemir’s highest ranked completed climb was number 28. He finished in second place within the individual category. “I feel a little bit gutted not being able to complete [climb 30], but with the progression of the season comes more learning opportunities, not just for myself, but the team, too,” Ozdemir said. “It definitely is one of the best feelings, throwing great attempts down at the hardest problems in the set.” (media by guest reporter Ali Gustafson) Reporting by Ali GustafsonVarsity cheerleader Payton Shank ‘25 holds up the “C” sign to spell out “RCHS” at the Continental League All Girl Varsity Championship in the gym Nov. 11. Both varsity and JV teams won first place, with JV winning the 5A Coed category and varsity winning in 5A All-Girls since 2016. Coaches, parents and supporters came together to cheer on the teams and the athletes competing at this year’s competition. “League is something that is a big deal in cheer, and obviously, it brought a lot of nerves to the team. We all wanted to win, but also did as well as we could. When we all hit[the routine], it felt so amazing to have everyone there supporting us like we do for them. At awards, we were even more nervous but we knew we did the best we could, so we still were happy. When we found out we won, we were so happy, especially since cheer hadn’t won since 2016. It was an amazing night,” Shank said. (media by Elly Brooks) Reporting by Elly Brooks
