Shoutout to our Braves divers, who captured 5 of the top 10 places last night in the Livingston County Athletic Association's Diving Championships in Bath.
Leading the way for Avon were junior Megan M., who placed second with 329.05 points, and senior Sydney M., who took third with a score of 303.65.
Junior Abby W. took sixth with 279.4 points, junior Taylor S. took seventh with 228.2 and Izzy C., a freshman, placed ninth with 210.55 points.
This strong showing in the 11-dive event puts Avon in a good position heading into the LCAA swimming championships tonight in Bath.
Go Braves!

TIMBER!!!
Our swimmers felled a veritable forest of York pool records during their meet last night against York-Pavilion.
Freshman Jessie C. started out the record-breaking in the 200-yard freestyle, her 2:06.83 swim breaking the old pool record of 2:11.06 set in 2014 by more than four seconds. Later in the meet, Jessie would go on to break pool records in the 50-yard freestyle as the lead-off swimmer in the 200-yard freestyle relay (26.19) and 100-yard breaststroke (1.16.25).
Not to be outdone, junior Kaitlyn G. set new pool records in the 200-yard individual medley (2:23.39), 500-yard freestyle (5:37.82) and 100-yard freestyle as the lead off swimmer in the 400-yard freestyle relay (58.89). Kaitlyn’s 500-yard freestyle swim was particularly impressive as it shattered the old pool record of 5:50.37 set in 2019 by more than 12-1/2 seconds.
Kaitlyn and Jessie also teamed up with senior Claire S. and sophomore Abby S. to set new pool records in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:48.86) and 400-yard freestyle relay (4:02.10).
In all, Braves swimmers set new girls pool records in 8 of 12 events. Incredible!
“Our team has been working extremely hard all year and it is great to see all of that hard work paying off in the middle of the season. We had many great performances, best times or scores, throughout the course of the meet and it really feels like we are hitting our stride for the last push of the season,” said Head Swim Coach Dan Paganin. “These record breaking girls are tremendous athletes and great team leaders. I am proud of their efforts and all of their accomplishments are definitely well deserved. I am excited to see them continue to improve over the course of the next few weeks as we get into championship season. They have all qualified for sectional events so we will be looking for them to be major contributors for our success in February.”
With their 51-43 win over York-Pavilion, the Braves moved to 5-1 on the season and are next in action Thursday, Jan. 12 at Haverling.

Avon Community:
We’re happy to announce the proposed capital improvement project was approved by district voters! The final results were:
In favor: 156
Opposed: 136
The approval of this project positions our district as an integral part of the broader Avon community for years to come. The positive referendum allows us to address both infrastructure and instruction, ensuring strong academic programming for students within improved facilities. The Board of Education is grateful for the continued support of our residents.
We will immediately enter the design phase that will take 10-12 months. Updates about the project - including opportunities for stakeholder input on final project design elements - will be disseminated through a variety of sources and will be posted on the district’s web page. The pace will increase in the coming weeks and months, and we look forward to providing updates.
Thank you for your support.

Good afternoon, this is an update from Avon Central School District for February 3, 2022. The High School and Middle School will be dismissing students 20 minutes early today. We recognize that it will take additional time to deliver all students to their homes this afternoon due to the inclement weather. By dismissing the 5-12 students earlier, we are hopeful that we will be able to dismiss our elementary students on-time at 3:15 pm. Because of the current weather, all after school and evening activities are cancelled for today as well. Have a nice evening.
