For any student planning on participating in sports or marching band for the 2010-11 school year, you’ll want to circle May 26th from 3:30 – 6:00 p.m. on your calendar to come to R-PHS to get your school physical in the arena.

In order to get a physical, a completely filled out physical card (including parent signature) must be presented at the time of the physical.  Physical forms are available in the school’s offices and will be available on the day of the physicals by the arena.

The cost of the physical is $20.00.  Checks should be payable to R-PHS Athletics.  There will be three doctors and two nurses from Bear Creek Health Center on hand to manage physicals.

Heads were turning at the recent track regionals held at Houseman Field in Grand Rapids as the duo of Allix Miller and Christy Schultz burned up the track in route to three regional championships and two new school records.

Junior Allix Miller won the 200 m race with the time of 25.5 seconds and broke the R-PHS school record in the 400 m race with a time of 58.6.

Freshman Christy Schultz won two regional championships in the 100 m race with a time of 12.2 and a new school record in the long jump with a leap of 18′ 1 1/4 “.

The girls now move on to Rockford High School on June 5th to compete in the state track championships.  There’s a good chance that new records might be broken as these girls are both talented and determined!

The R-PHS girls soccer team traded in their green and white uniforms for pink ones last Friday night to support cancer awareness and went on to defeat the Norsemen from North Muskegon. 

Senior Emily Swain was instrumental in organizing this event which was our second annual benefit in the fight against cancer.

The varsity game was really never a contest as our girls easily won the game by the score of 6-0.  In this game, there really wasn’t a loser as North Muskegon also helped to raise funds for the cancer research.
