The St. Louis University High School varsity rifle squad placed second at the 2008 National Junior Olympic 3-Position Precision Air Rifle Championship held July 10-12 in Anniston, Alabama. The team – consisting of Sam Gall ‘08, Jason Nienhaus ‘09, Dan Hermsmeier ‘10, and Houston Barber ‘10 – put on a solid performance and narrowly missed first place by 11 points.
This year St. Louis University High School gave 766 Advanced Placement (AP) exams – 43 more than last year and the most the school has ever given – to 356 students, and the results were impressive. The scores on 89 percent of those exams were 3 or higher, and 4 or higher on 62 percent of the exams.
Several players from the St. Louis University High School baseball team were recently included in the All-Metro selections. These players were part of an exciting district championship team that nearly earned a state championship berth after losing to Francis Howell in the Class 4 semifinals.
