Winter athletics: Eden highlights division wins and scholar-athlete recognition
Summary
District athletics director reported winter participation (about 30 students across 14 teams), postseason successes (wrestling division wins, state qualifiers) and academic achievements; senior wrestler Bryce Delapenta described the program's positive impact.
An athletics presenter told the board that the winter season included 14 teams across varsity, JV and modified levels and roughly 30 participating students, and he emphasized academic success: seven of eight varsity teams achieved scholar-athlete recognition with over 75% of team members maintaining a 90 or above average.
"Our wrestling team won their division for the first time in five years and placed first overall at the ECIC tournament out of 22 teams," the presenter said, noting individual state qualifiers and team postseason advances. Senior athlete Bryce Delapenta addressed the board and said wrestling "taught me the meaning of hard work" and gave him a sense of belonging; he thanked coaches and the board for support.
The board asked for questions after the report; no formal actions were required.
