We’re in the middle of a short week, but if you’re a Cheetah athlete, you know it’s a long one with games everyday! On Wednesday, our girls volleyball teams took on the Absegami Braves and came away with a program sweep! JV took down the Braves, with Sali going on big service runs and middle Nazz putting down points left and right for 8 kills. On varsity, Casey aced the Braves 5 times and locked down the defense with 12 digs. Brooklyn racked up 9 kills, bringing her career total to 200!
Your GCIT Cheetahs then trekked over to take on the Highland Tartans yesterday and came away with a program sweep. All three levels aced the test! Freshman kicked off the evening with 17 aces, including 5 from Camille and 4 from Jolie. JV held the Tartans to just 10 points and served up 24 aces. Kelsey led the way with a baker’s dozen plus one, 14 aces, and Bianca added 4. Varsity put the exclamation point on the night with 17 more aces, including 5 each from Bianca and Casey. You only spell Cheetah with one “A,” but you heard that right: 58 aces across all levels! Go Cheetahs!
The Girls Cross Country team placed second as a team at the Gloucester County Championships.

Congrats to our Frosh and JV volleyball teams, who both took on Washington Township Minute maids yesterday! Our Frosh traveled to Township’s gym for a battle. Lily led the offense, and Cassie anchored the defense. Township took the first set, GCIT bounced back to win the second, and in a nail-biting third set, our Cheetahs came out on top! Back in the Cheetah den, JV picked up the first set. Sophia M., playing a new position in the middle, made a huge impact, putting down three straight kills to start the second set and give the Cheetahs the lead. Sali, Sophia, and Polly each finished with four kills. JV took the match in two sets, and it’s the first time they’ve beaten Township in both the home and away matchups! Great job, Cheetahs. There’s plenty more volleyball to come!
Congrats to the girls JV soccer team on a 3-1 victory over Kingsway. Goals were scored by Marissa Wilson, Teagan Ryan, and Sam Mills. Assists were by Caleigh G., Adrienne Q., and Sam Mills.

Big congratulations to our JV Cheetahs volleyball team on a fantastic showing at their annual tournament at Paul VI this past weekend! Started the day against a top 10 team, we got swooped by PVI Eagles but right afterwards the girls woke up. We turned the Penn Tech Tornados into a light breeze, we clipped EHT Eagles wings, and we clawed out the Schalick Cougars on the way to 6 straight wins! We had the second-best record at the tournament. In the playoffs we fell to RV by just three points, but this team showed speed, heart, and a whole lot of grit. The future of Cheetah volleyball is bright!
