Captains Keillor Irving and Melissa Parsons led an energetic and well trained squad into battle against FHS at the NBIAA swimming championships on Saturday December 10th at the Canada Games Aquatic Center. Twenty other high schools qualified through regional swim meets to compete at the Provincial Championship, but from the first race it was a heavy weight scrap between the Greyhounds and the Black Kats.
With three victories in the last four relay events, the Red&Grey surged ahead to capture the team championship 286 to 263 points. ESN and LHHS finished a distant third and fourth with 149 and 145 points respectively. The SJHS senior girls and senior boys both won their divisions at the competition. The FHS girls took home the Girls Combined (JR + SR) banner while SJHS claimed its sixth straight boys title.
The swim team had highlights throughout the six hour competiton with 36 of the 37 competing athletes recording a season's personal best. The girls team was led by senior "rookie" Jackie McDonald who set four SJHS swimming records on the way to four gold medal finishes. The 100m and 50m freestyle school records had been held since 1983 by SJHS team assistant coach Patti. The boy's team lone individual gold medal swim came in the 50 meter backstroke by Sean Milley.
"We Train While You Sleep" was this years motto, mantra and reason for success. Great job team. Click for: NBIAA Provincial Meet Video Slide Show

The halls of Saint John High School were alive with fifteen years of tradition on Friday and Saturday, December 2nd and 3rd, as the annual pancake breakfast, teacher assembly, and Christmas Bazaar got underway. On Friday, teachers donned their reindeer hats and aprons to serve breakfast to hundreds of students, parents and alumni. Once again, the variety-show assembly demonstrated what talent (or not) is found among our illustrious staff!
Early Saturday morning, local crafters and artisans enjoyed the warmth and spirit of our school as they set up their wares for the Christmas Bazaar; in fact, the bazaar was so popular that we had to turn away many requests for table rentals! The silent auction, French café, and bake sale (with the popular staff-prepared baked bean dinners) were extremely successful, thanks to staff and students who worked diligently for weeks leading up to the event. The crowd was appreciative of the beautiful, soothing voices of the choir, and children enjoyed a welcome break from the reverie with face painting and activities in the children’s classroom.
Once again, the annual SJHS Bazaar was a huge success, with the total amount to support student-council events at well over $9000 and monies still coming in! Saint John High continues to enjoy a strong link to our school community, as evidenced by the number of local businesses who support our silent auction. Thank you to everyone who contributed in one way or another to make all of the events so successful and memorable!

When you hear the word greyhound, you might immediately think of speed, which is why it's fitting that the Saint John High Greyhounds are hosting this year's New Brunswick Interscholastic Athletic Association swimming championships on Saturday at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.
Mike Whitcomb, a Grade 12 student at Saint John High, practises the butterfly on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for Saturday's NBIAA meet. Sean Milley of Saint John High is expected to be one of the swimmers to watch in the backstroke. SJHS is the overall defending champion for this year's meet, which will take place from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The Greyhounds are expected to be led by freestyle specialist Jackie McDonald on the girls side and backstroke standout Sean Milley on the boys side.
SJHS coach Charlie Sullivan expects his team to have its hands full from various competitors in the 20-school field, which is expected to include close to 300 athletes. But the main competition should come from Fredericton High School, he said.
"I expect Fredericton to win both divisions," he said matter-of-factly. "I just have a good group who train daily. Most of them are not professional swimmers, and by that I mean they don't do it outside of high school, which already puts them behind the eight ball.
"For us, it's about lots of little victories along the way like best times, relays and doing our strokes better."
Last weekend's regional meets pared the championship field down to the top six competitors in each discipline from each region.
Swimmers will be seeded from their times at the regionals and two heats will be run for each event. The top times from those heats will determine the winners.
There will be four classifications: junior girls, junior boys, senior girls and senior boys.
