SKHS A.D. Mr. Lynch raises coveted Challenge Cup.

  South Kingstown High School was honored with the Cox Sports Challenge Cup awarded to the high school with the best overall athletic program in the state.

  The Challenge Cup is a combination of overall winning percentage, number of state titles won, as well as school spirit.

  This year, SKHS had one of the best winning percentages of any school, taking home six State Championships.  The school also received numerous points for school spirit and sportsmanship.

  SKHS won the award over private school powerhouses Bishop Hendricken and La Salle, as well as many public schools with larger populations.

  “It is a tribute to our coaching staff, our athletes and school as a whole,” said an excited Athletic Director Mr. Lynch.

  SKHS had one of its most successful years in athletics ever as the school won eight State Championships: Football, Gymnastics, Boys’ Volleyball, Boys’ Tennis, Girls’ Lacrosse and Girls’ Outdoor Track.

  The Challenge Cup was awarded to Mr. Lynch on June 15th at the Cox Sports Awards at the Providence Performing Arts Center.
