Garrett Aukamp, sophomore wrestler at Solanco, says his team’s quote is “How you do anything is how you do everything!”
This quote encourages his teammates to “push each other” to be better and to develop a good team chemistry.
Garrett sees his Solanco team as “young in age, but not in experience.” Several wrestlers return from last year's team as letter winners.
Nolan Wagner, Solanco High School, senior
Tell me about your basketball journey?
Wagner: “Growing up my older brother he played so I always watched him. I always enjoyed watching him. That’s how I got started.”
Is there a favorite player who you’ve modeled your game after?
Wagner: “J.J. Redick.”
If you could, what advice would you give to yourself as a freshman?
A new meet at Lehigh University and a special Warwick meet will be key to determining Solanco's girls cross country team's success this seaason.

Julia Phipps, senior
Chelsey Hanna, sophomore
Both Phipps and Hanna have goals to improve their times from last year and lead their Solanco Mules cross country team to the
District III meet.
The words stand out clearly on Solanco School District’s website, just beneath the image of a snorting Golden Mule who looks like he’s running for tough yardage on fourth and one.
“Always Earned. Never Given,” it says.
After a season with a roster of 80% freshmen and sophomores that didn't win a league game, Solanco field hockey has plenty of experience and high hopes entering this season.

The team did lose its senior goalie, but has a junior this year, Kendall Galbreath, they expect to be an equal replacement.
Solanco's top cross country runners say they like to reach the state tournament this year.

Isaac Esh, senior
Nate Reese, junior
Esh and Reese lead an experienced Solanco cross country team into the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 2 season.
Esh, a four-year runner, has a goal to lower his home course time to a sub-17:00 personal record, and Reese is working to
get below 18:00.
Even just one goal a game can turn a losing record into a winning one, Solanco assistant girls soccer coach Remington Wright says.
