Hello to all of our athletes!

This is a quick reminder that before you can become a member of one of our many excellent teams, you must submit all of the necessary paperwork. You can find the needed forms on the STUDENT LIFE section of our web site (click the High School tab on the main page and you will see the student life link).

Remember, you can not participate in ANY aspect of the team (practices, meetings, etc) without first submitting your forms to either your Head Coach or to Athletic Director Coach Bonnaffee.

With Regionals Success Pushing Them Forward, UA GOLF Ready to Battle State’s Best

UA's State Team Ready for Biggest Tournment

Good luck to Coach Gardner and the five members of Ursuline Academy’s state team. Caroline Smith ’10, Charlotte McLoughlin ’11, Holland Ledet ’12, Tabitha Dalgo ’12, and Sydney Sumas ’14 will depart school on Tuesday and head for Alexandria, La to participate in the LHSAA State Golf Tournament. After an extremely good performance at the Regional Tournament (which qualified the team for participation in the state tournament), Coach Gardner is very optimistic that his team will have another strong showing at the state tournament. During the previous mentioned Regional  Tournament, Ursuline Academy finished in second place with Charlotte McLoughlin ’11 finishing in sixth place overall among all the golfers participating in the tournament.

Good Luck, UA GOLF!

Here is an update on our athletic program:

UA TRACK AND FIELD Battles Mother Nature During Annual Season Opener

On Saturday, Coach Davis and the UA Track adn Field team traveled to Mandeville High School to participate in the Skipper Relays. Typically, runners in this meet have to battled very warm temperatures and the main concern is ensuring that the runners are taking in enough fluids in between races. However, on Saturday morning, the major concern was finding a dry spot around the track. With rain pooring down, UA TRACK AND FIELD had a wet start to the season… a season that could see UA TRACK AND FIELD become very competitive. Keep an eye on Kristen Miranda ‘10 who has continued to improve in javelin competition and her efforts and progress gives UA a legitimate shot at returning to the LHSAA State Championship. Click here to see a small sample of photos from the wet Skipper Relays.  UA TRACK AND FIELD can next be seen this Saturday in Baton Rouge as the team competes in the Catholic High Meet starting at 10:00am.
