Swimming:

The boys and girls swim teams competed in the FHSAA Regional meet on Saturday, Nov. 10. Neither the boys nor the girls team placed and no swimmers advanced to the state competition.

“I think we all did really well, we swam as fast and as hard as we could for sure,” Swimmer Laney Jacobson (’19) said. “But the competition was a lot tougher this year which contributed to none of us making states this year.”

The swim team will graduate 11 seniors this year.

Cross Country:

Both the girls and boys cross country teams headed off to the FHSAA 3A Cross Country State Championship meet on Saturday, Nov. 1o. The boys placed eighth overall with the girls right behind them in ninth place. Read more about the cross country championship here.

After years of hard work and determination, Robins $After years of hard work and determination, Robinson’s very own Dayana Dominguez (’24) received admission to Amherst University through the Questbridge Scholarship, a program that works to match underserved students with some of the nation’s best universities. Matching to a University through QuestBridge is an extremely competitive process. Roughly 30% of students who apply to the scholarship foundation become finalists, and only a small fraction of those finalists are able to match – students are asked to rank universities, and vice versa; if the rankings match, then the student is accepted – with a university. “The process is quite extensive and very rigorous,” said Marjan Deboskey, Dominguez’s Guidance Counselor. “She’s actually the first student that I have had, during my time with Hillsborough County, that has matched.” Balancing the considerably large application along with schoolwork and extracurricular activities required something a bit more than hard work: sacrifice. “To get to this point, I had to prioritize school above everything else, that meant sacrificing several hours of sleep and doing some mental gymnastics to push through the difficult parts,” Dominguez said. “The amount of things on my plate has been the hardest part, I have had to work a lot on my time management.” On top of her extreme academic workload, Dominguez is president and section leader of Orchestra, finance committee head in SGA, enjoys competing in Latin competitions and has responsibilities at home. “Outside of academics, I have always had a love for music. Orchestra has been my main focus since middle school, from concerts at school to all county and all state auditions,” Dominguez said. “I love competing at Latin regionals, states and nationals. I also have to mention the full-time job of being an older sister to a wild four-year-old at home.” To read the rest, visit knightwriters.org 📝: Vikram Sambasivan (@vikrams5509) 📸: Cecilia Cheng (@ceciliaacheng)$
