A look back: 2013 CSIHS spring sports season recap
By Sam Reed
Athletic Director/Activity Coordinator
Chief Sealth International High School
Last spring I led my season recap by saying that it was “my belief that the ‘12 spring sports season at Chief Sealth International High School will be one that sets a new standard for excellence and success.”
That statement proved true this year, as our athletes turned out in droves this spring, driven by high expectations. Led by a strong senior class, 254 student-athletes donned Seahawk apparel and demonstrated the “Sealth pride” that’s now come to be expected. Now, as this season and year comes to a close, it’s difficult to conger up the words to express what this group of seniors has meant to the school and to the athletic programs they’ve participated in. While it will be hard to see them go, the list of successes of all below should help demonstrate the strength of the program they’re leaving behind.
Reminder: West Seattle Soccer Club to host free UEFA Champion’s League final viewing at Admiral Theater
Watching two German powerhouse soccer clubs (Bayern vs. Dortmund) battle it out for the esteemed UEFA Champion title with hundreds of like-minded fans in the comfort of a movie theater with a massive screen (while donating food items for charity) ... sound like a good idea?
The West Seattle Soccer Club is sponsoring just such an experience on May 25.
Here are the details from WSSC:
West Seattle, WA - The West Seattle Soccer Club (WSSC) is excited to announce that we will be sponsoring the showing of the final match of the 2013 UEFA Champion's League at the Admiral Twin Theater on Saturday, May 25th.

Seattle’s 1st official baseball team for the blind: Tryouts June 1 & 2 in Walt Hundley Park, West Seattle
Last month the Robinson Newspapers' Highline Times featured Burien resident, Kevin Daniel, and the Seattle South King Sluggers blind beep baseball team he is helping to organize. You can read that article here.
Daniel is seeing impaired and works as a job recruiter for Lighthouse for the Blind in Seattle. However, they are not affiliated with the Sluggers.
After lining up sponsorships and a ball field, a tryout and first practice date has been set, and Daniel invites men and women in the seeing impaired community to try out, or just cheer on participants, Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Walt Hundley Park (Field #2), 6920 34th Av. SW. in West Seattle.
Metro route #21 services this area, and the ball field is a few blocks away.
