Congratulations to our two 2022 The Amanda Post “AmandaWins” SAC/HC Student-Athlete Scholarship recipients:

– Emily Wieser of Reservoir HS, a thirteen-year SAC player who is now attending the University of Maryland College Park in the Scholars Program and pursuing a career in neuroscience.

– Christopher Gunning of Reservoir HS, a nine-year SAC player who is now attending Cornell University and pursuing a career in biomedical engineering.

Great job and best wishes to these two exceptional student-athletes!

Over the past year, SAC has consulted with an independent company to study the traffic flow at the Lucido Fields at Covenant Park. With their recommendations, in an effort to improve the conditions in our parking lot, we will be implementing a new traffic pattern. Effective Wednesday, September 7, the entire main parking lot will change to a two-way traffic flow, with exiting traffic now following the same route used to enter. No traffic will be allowed to pass directly in front of the main office building/crosswalk. Please follow the new signage that has been added throughout the parking lot. A diagram of the new traffic pattern can be found here.

Have a cool achievement or event to highlight for your SAC team, Coach, or player(s)? Please send in pictures and videos to social@sachc.org for a chance to be published on our social accounts. We will review content from all SAC programs, at any level!

Howard County Department of Fire and Rescue Services has introduced a smartphone app called PulsePoint. When someone calls 911 about a person in sudden cardiac arrest, PulsePoint will notify citizens in the area trained in CPR that someone needs assistance. It also provides maps and directions to the nearest Automated External Defibrillator, or AED. Source Article from Baltimore Sun
