Spring SPC Championships
May 3-4, 2007
Dallas, Texas

Greenhill athletics celebrated its most accomplished school year in history as varsity teams combined for a total of five Southwest Preparatory Conference championships, including titles in girls’ volleyball, boys’ cross country, girls’ soccer, boys’ tennis and girls’ track and field. Greenhill has won 34 SPC titles over the past 10 school years, the most of any coed school in the entire conference.

Greenhill finished the spring season with every team -- baseball, softball, boys’ tennis and girls’ tennis -- all competing for conference titles in the Division I brackets of their respective tournaments. The boys’ tennis team finished as SPC champions behind the all-conference performances of freshmen Michael Vutam and Jake Golman, and junior Conor Biller. The team entered the tournament is the No. 2 seed in the North division, but was able to avenge the team’s only loss earlier in the season to Holland Hall by defeating Dutchmen in the championship game.

The girls’ track and field team finished as conference champions for the sixth time in the past seven years as the girls held the lead in the final race of the day by setting a conference record in the 4x400 meter relay. Seniors Timmy Johnson, Meera Krishna, Joi’ Windham and Toi Windham combined for a total of 12 all-conference performances, including two conference records and four gold-medal finishes. Sophomore Andrea Rahardja was a member of the record setting 4x400 meter relay team, finished first in the triple jump, second in the pole vault, and fifth in both hurdle races. Sophomore Morgan Calhoun earned all-conference honors and a gold medal as a member of the 4x100 meter relay team. Joi’ Windham finished her career at Greenhill with two school records and one conference record, and Toi’ Windham graduates with four school records and three conference records.

The boys’ track and field team had its best finish since 2001 as the Hornets finished third at the SPC championships. Senior Michael Trejo earned gold medals in both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, while setting a school record in the process in the mile. Senior Willie Woods had two all-conference performances, finishing third in both the 100 and 200 meter sprints. Senior Garrett Dobbs and junior Taylor Short each earned all-SPC honors in the triple jump, while sophomore Travis Stull finished with a silver medal in the pole vault.

The girls’ tennis team entered the Division I bracket as the No. 3 seed in the North division, and won its first match against Saint Mary’s Hall. The Hornets were defeated in the second round, but bounced back in its final match of the season and defeated Hockaday in the final match of the season to third place at the SPC tournament. Freshman Shelci Bowman and senior Blair Golman each earned all conference honors for the Hornets.

The softball team finished conference counter games with a 5-2 record and entered the Division I bracket at the SPC championships as the No. 3 seed in the North. After dropping a close game in the first round to Kinkaid, Greenhill defeated Hockaday in the second round before falling to St. John’s in the fifth-place game. Junior pitcher Liz Vaughan and junior short stop Taylor Johnson were both all-conference selections following the conclusion of the tournament.

Senior short stop Zach Tobolowsky and junior pitcher Greg Lyons earned all-conference honors in baseball as the team finished in sixth place at the SPC tournament. The Hornets ended the conference counter season with a 3-2 record and second place in the North division. Following a first-round loss to St. Mark’s in the Division I tournament, Greenhill defeated St. Andrew’s in the second round and lost to Kinkaid for a sixth-place finish.

The girls’ lacrosse team finished the SPC tournament in seventh place, behind the all-conference play of senior Chandler Rough and junior Christina Marmol. The boys’ lacrosse team finished conference play tied for fifth place, and was recognized by the Southwest Lacrosse Officials Association with the Patterson Award that is awarded to the team that carries the best spirit of the game. Seniors Jeffrey Talmadge and Robert Tobolowsky earned all-SPC honors, while Talmadge was named the Most Valuable Player in the state all-star game.

The golf team finished the season with a 13^th-place finish at the SPC golf tournament at Bear Creek. Senior Royal Gamber earned low score for the team over the two-day meet, sophomores Alex Gupta and Brad Girson rounded out Greenhill’s top three scores at SPC.

The boys’ crew team nearly finished in third place in its preliminary heat at the state regatta in Austin to conclude the season, but was hampered by a technical error near the finish which dashed its hopes of qualifying for the finals. The girls’ crew team also attended the state regatta and gained valuable experience for a young squad.
