SHARPE
Faculty Head: Ms. Guilmet
2012 Recap: Sharpe entered the 2012
competition looking to shake off a disappointing 2011 campaign which saw them
fall into 4th place late in the week and never recover. Sharpe came
out hot on the first day of competition, winning Upper Girls Basketball and
Lower School Squash and finishing second in most other events. If Howard had not had a historically great
first day, Sharpe likely would have found themselves in first place after Monday. Sharpe was not able to sustain this momentum
into Tuesday, as they won just one event in Upper Girls Squash, falling into
fourth place by over forty points. Sharpe did not win a single event on
Wednesday, but did finish second in the major Wrestling event and tied for
first in Diplomacy. Another day of finishing last in the standings made it look
like Sharpe was quickly eliminating themselves from contention for the week.
Thursday started out in similar fashion for the team, as they struggled to
field teams for the Geller relay, but after victories in Rubik’s cube and Lower
School Girls Volleyball, Sharpe went on to win five more events over a period
of an hour, including most of the three point shooting competitions and the egg
drop. This late charge reduced Kelley’s
lead over Sharpe to just twenty-five points heading into Friday. A strong
Friday performance in the airplane contest, Upper School Tug of War and Upper
School Girls Ping Pong reduced the lead to just 13 points before the talent
show. The greatness of Will Wu and company’s dance performance was not enough
to beat out Kelley in the Talent Show and ultimately the final standings.
Sharpe built a lot of positive momentum in the final two days and hopefully
turned the corner as a team for the 2013 competition!
Big Questions: Will Sharpe carry last year's late momentum into a top finish?
Will Sharpe's dominance in three point shooting continue?
What giant figure will the Sharpe dancers form this year?
