Swimming Looks To Close Out A Successful Fall Season and Middle School Flag Football Debuts!
Updated on 11/14/2024
Fall season is winding down for the Gryphons with Girls Swim and Dive in their final home stretch. The Gryphons eye a conference championship this weekend at Kettering High School in Waterford. Not only will a CHSL title be determined, but it will be the last chance to earn state cut times for the Gryphons. Several swimmers have already made the state cut, meaning there will be a bevy of representation at the MHSAA state championship meet next week, which takes place November 22 and 23 at Oakland University. While swimming is going strong, two other varsity programs completed their seasons in the past two weeks.Cross-country sent two individual girls (Addi G ‘28 and Janaan R ‘26) and the entire boys team, thanks to a top-3 finish at Regionals, to the MHSAA State Meet at Michigan International Speedway. Prior to Regionals and States, 9th grader Addi G finished first overall in the girls CHSL championship! MIS is always a challenging course, but the Gryphons represented themselves w
Cross Country on to States!Last Saturday, the Greenhills Cross Country team competed in Algonac for the MHSAA Regional Championship in a meet full of drama and personal records. On the girls side, the Gryphons were once again led by Addi G ‘28. Addi set a personal record of 19:35.2, good for a fourth place overall finish. Junior Janaan R ‘26 also earned a top-20 finish for Greenhills with a time of 21:09.1. Both Addi and Janaan qualified for the State Championship meet this Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. As a team, the Gryphons scored 177 good for a tie for third with Almont. Unfortunately, Almont earned the tie-breaker to be the third and final team to qualify for states. With no seniors on the roster, Greenhills will return all seven varsity runners next season with high expectations. On the boys side, four personal records and a season-best from senior captain Mason S ‘25 propelled the Gryphons to a third place finish and a team-qualification for the State meet.&n
Boys Tennis Rallies for their 16th State Championship, Plus More Championship Action
Updated on 10/24/2024
In real time, it would have been difficult to identify the moment that would eventually propel Greenhills Boys Tennis to their 16th state championship. To start Saturday’s MHSAA Finals, Greenhills found themselves with an uphill battle. Six Gryphon flights were alive to start the day and every match would play a crucial role in earning points towards the state title. The margin of error was razor thin with #1 ranked Cranbrook and #2 ranked Detroit Country Day represented in the semifinals in each flight Saturday. After semifinals completed in the morning, Greenhills found itself needing to all-but-sweep the five flights where they were still alive. One-singles Teddy Staebler advanced to Saturday’s semifinals, along with all four doubles flights. The improbable feat looked unlikely within the first 20 minutes of Championship Round Play. One-doubles tandem of Kabir R ‘25 and Will P ‘27 found themselves down to top-seeded Detroit Country Day five games to zero. Greenhills would

On Tuesday we ushered in October and if there were any doubts that we are in the middle of Fall athletics, those were removed with the onset of lower temps, falling leaves, and early sunsets. Those were not the only reminders, however. Girls Varsity Golf, currently ranked the #2 team in Division 4 by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Association, competed at The Detroit Golf Club in the CHSL Championships. The Gryphons cruised to a 10-stroke victory led by two seniors finishing in the top ten. Hannah L ‘24 finished 10th, earning First Team All-Conference honors. Mia M ‘24 led the field with career best 63, 6 strokes under par. Mia’s incredible round included 3 eagles.
