Community of Champions

By Rebecca Moe – Director of Athletics at University Prep 
Emerald City League President

Welcome to another school year!   Hundreds of student athletes from our nine schools have been eagerly waiting for the beginning of fall sports.  The Emerald City League begins its 10^th season of competition in the Sea King District 2 – 1A classification.  Like all organizations, we have had to deal with change and growth and adapt accordingly.

We are nine schools each with a unique mission and culture.  What has remained constant over the last ten years is our commitment to sportsmanship, integrity and healthy competition.  We are a community of champions. During the last school year, the Emerald City League had the following state finishes: 1-2-3 in Girls Soccer, 2^nd in Boys Soccer, 5^th in Girls Cross Country (with the individual overall champion), 5^th in Volleyball, 4^th in Boys Basketball, 5^th in Boys Golf, 2^nd in Boys tennis, 1^st in Girls Tennis, 3^rd and 4^th in Girls Golf, and 1^st and 2^nd in Girls Track & Field.   Our students succeed in the classroom as well, and in the last two academic years our schools were awarded the Academic State Championship in Girls Basketball, Softball, Boys Soccer, Boys Golf and Boys Cross Country.   Several schools had team GPA’s within the top five too! 

As much as I enjoy cheering on the Pumas, it is fun to go to meets, games and matches to watch the other schools. When one school does well, we all celebrate the victory in the Emerald City League!  We are a community of champions on the field and in the classroom, and will continue to make athletics a meaningful experience for all our athletes.

Good luck to all the student athletes and coaches this season!
