Dear ISY Community,

SEASAC Recap: Celebrating Our Teams’ Achievements

This year’s SEASAC tournaments were a true testament to the talent, perseverance, and sportsmanship of our student-athletes. Both our badminton and softball teams competed with heart and drive, bringing pride to our school community. Here’s a look at their impressive achievements:

Badminton Teams Swing into Success

Our badminton teams had a strong showing on the courts this year. The girls’ team showcased their skill and tenacity, earning a well-deserved 6th place finish. Meanwhile, the boys’ team played with determination and brought home the 5th place plate in a competitive field. Both teams demonstrated remarkable focus and teamwork throughout the tournament, and we are incredibly proud of their efforts.

Softball Teams Make a Memorable Return

After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, our softball teams made their triumphant return to SEASAC this year, and they didn’t disappoint! The girls’ team, participating in their first SEASAC tournament since COVID, worked tirelessly and achieved a commendable 10th place finish. The boys’ team proved their mettle as well, securing a strong 7th place.

Not only did our softball teams perform well on the field, but they also stood out for their character and spirit. Both the girls’ and boys’ teams were honored with the prestigious SEASAC Sportsmanship Award, a testament to their grace, respect, and conduct both during and beyond the games. This is an achievement we take immense pride in, as it reflects the core values of our athletic program.

Thank You to Our Community
