Q: What is your favorite memory running cross country?

A: One year Coach Hood could not come and instead of doing mile repeats we rolled down the hills and reported our slowest times.

While the team did not make itto Sectionals they still had a great year of success and development within the program. The overwhelming majority ofgirls finished the season faster than what they started. The new freshman and student-athletes blended into the program remarkably well and demonstrated phenomenal work ethic and commitment to their teammates. Injuries were a major setback for the team as top runners became injured either early on or towards the end ofthe season. Coach Hood says he isgoing to focus a lot more with pre-hab excesses for shin splints this offseason. The coach also says he isgoing to try to connect with the middle schools to try to get more girls to come out as afear of competing has stopped some ofthem. Shannon Tang was able to bring home an All Twin City award for the Maroons. Winning IHSA Scholastic Achievement Awards were Jeeyoon Chun, junior Grace Rispoli, senior Grace Shirley, and Shannon Tang.

he season had it's ups and downs. The team madea lot of progress in the summer/ during football season. They were able to hold a number ofteam bondings during this time, which issomething that really lhelped the team come together. The team mastered a lot of diffcult stunts this year, and they had more diffcult routines this year than last. All ofthe groups were able to master 360s and Ruby Slippers, which issomething they were not able to do atthe beginning ofthe season. They even had one cheerleader get

Iher back hand spring, which is an excellent achievement. Overall, however a lot ofwork still needs to be done with their tumbling because this was one ofthe areas that really hurt their score on the overall routine.

he 2017-2018 bleacher bums were considered the most wild and energetic student section that Central has had in years. Students of all classes filled the stands countless times, and their energy helped lead Central to many big victories throughout the year. Some of the most popular events were the games against Centennial in basketball and football. Central dominated in all of these games thanks to a great crowd backing them up. These students made sure to get into their opponents heads and they made sure that Central was an extremely tough place to play.

At Central, the art's programs are really special as they have allowed students to express who they truly are by dancing, drawing, painting, acting, singing, and much more. Students who join the clubs, or try out for plays are able to be relieved by the never ending stress from school and other events in life. Central offers courses that also help relieves stress like Art Survey, Cultural Arts, Ceramics, Photography, Choir, and Sculpting. Students can also join the after school activities such as theater, dance team, color guard, and band. Central has amazing programs when it comes to academics, but the students who choose to stay with their artistic skills start to build their resume with factors like becoming the lead in the musical, having a solo in Choir, being a Drum Major in Marching Band, and having art displayed. Central has so much support when it comes to the Arts and that all helps builds the confidence in the participating students and shows how exceptional everyone is.

On December 9th and 10th of 2017, Champaign Central High School Music held their 37th Annual Madrigal Dinner. The Madrigal Dinner is a modern day re-enactment of a Renaissance Feast. It includes a meal while students who are costumed as Madrigals sang many season favorites accompanied by a brass quintet and two stringed instruments. As the Annual Madrigal Dinner has been held for almost 40 years, Central hopes to keep this tradition going for many more years.

"Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become LIMITLESS.’
-Jamie Paoli netti

The 2017-2018 yearbook holds and shows allthe memories you made throughout your time in high school. Students look through this and reflect on their experiences spent with teachers, classmates, and friends, that has brought their time spent at Central High School as an unforgettable experience.

High School is the time where students allow themselves to mature into adults and explore all the possibilities life has to offer. Freshman enter Central High School perhaps a little nervous but also excited. Sophomores and juniors build their experience and Mm) become more active. Seniors leave Central with introspection and ¢ ambivalence, because this is their second home.

The real world is just like a galaxy, its just as big and endless with all new possibilities.

i= 2a ~~ iC eee

This year's yearbook, the 108th edition of the Maroon Yearbook, was brought together by a collective group of Central students. Each staff member brought a lot of ideas that lead to many different possibilities. This year's staff consisted of a lot of new students who have never taken this class before. It was a lot of fun to teach you all and to see how far you all have grown.

Thank you VIP for making the trips down from Wisconsin to take our pictures, and HR Imaging for 9-11 portraits. Also a big thank you for Liz Brunson as well for taking pictures and letting’Central use them. Thank you Illini Studios, Mr. Larson, and his mother Mrs. Larson, and HR Imaging for all your helps Thank you to Mr. Woods,often an editor, and the athletic office staff for providing information. A big thank you to the staff, parents, and students for supplying us with pictures. We could not have completed this book without all of your help.

Every year the yearbook takes a lot of time and effort to put it all together. The yearbook staff tries their hardest to make it look its best for the other students and the parents at Central. The staff members come in during their study halls, lunch, before and after school to work hard on all the spreads.

Yearbook isahard class to do, we encourage all students to join yearbook and help make itthe best book ofthe year. We encourage everyone inyearbook to say their ideas and be as creative as possible. We wish the staff ofthe 109th yearbook good luck, we know there are many possibilities that will make it great book.

Goodluck, -Head Editors 108th yearbook.
