Fall Sports Update!
October has proven to be an exhilarating month for Notre Dame's athletic program, showcasing the remarkable talent and determination of our student-athletes. As the fall season progresses, our Rebels have continued to push their limits, achieving significant milestones and representing our school with pride. From volleyball to golf and tennis, this month has highlighted the hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship that define our athletes. Join us as we celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of Gwen Keeven, Lilly Eilers, and our tennis stars, whose efforts have not only made headlines but have also inspired our entire community. Let's dive into the standout performances that have made October a month to remember for Notre Dame Athletics!
🏐 Gwen Keeven Makes History with Double Milestones!
Get ready to celebrate! Notre Dame’s very own Gwen Keeven has made headlines this month by achieving not one, but TWO phenomenal career milestones in just a week! During the Rebels' Senior Night game against Bayless on October 17, Gwen recorded her 1,000th career kill, an accomplishment that only a select few reach. And if that wasn't enough, on October 24, she hit the 1,000 mark in career digs during a heart-pounding Class 3 District 3 semifinal win over Herculaneum! Huge congratulations to Gwen for her hard work and dedication—you're an inspiration to us all! 🎊💪
⛳️ Lilly Eilers Shines at State Golf Tournament!
Representing the Rebels with pride, Notre Dame sophomore Lilly Eilers was the lone qualifier for the Class 2 State Golf Tournament at Fremont Hills Country Club in Nixa, MO. Over two challenging rounds, Lilly finished 36th among a competitive field of 91 golfers on October 21-22. This marks her second consecutive appearance at the state tournament, and she’s already eyeing more opportunities to shine before graduation! Way to go, Lilly! Your determination sets a fantastic example for all! 🌟
🎾 Tennis Stars Gain Experience at State!
Three of Notre Dame’s talented tennis players hit the court at the Class 1 Individual State Tennis Tournament at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield on October 24. While senior Emily Jackson (singles) and juniors Katie Lumsden and Lilly McKay (doubles) may not have secured wins, the experience was priceless. For Emily, it was a fantastic way to conclude her high school career, while Katie and Lilly are excited to use this experience as fuel for their return to state next fall. Congratulations, ladies! Your dedication is truly inspiring! 🙌
As October comes to a close, Notre Dame continues to celebrate the commitment and achievements of its incredible athletes. Stay tuned for more exciting highlights and updates on our Rebel stars—there’s so much more to come! 💙 #GoRebels #NotreDameAthletics
