McKillop, a sophomore, clocked a course record of 19:42 and qualified for state championships in Eugene the next weekend. She placed 22nd at states. McKillop is also a midfielder on Cleveland’s soccer team, which advanced to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs this year. McKillop also runs track at Cleveland.
MAC member Katy Wiita wrapped up a busy 2011 that was unprecedented for a MAC synchro swimmer. In January, she became the first member ever to be called up to the U.S. National Team 1, the highest-level squad in the country. Wiita represented the U.S. at competitions in Brazil, Spain, China and Mexico, and was the youngest member of the team at 16. Wiita narrowly missed making the U.S. Olympic team, finishing 11th in the trials (nine make the team with one alternate). She returns to Portland to train at MAC, finish high school, and set her sights on Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympic Games.

He was also awarded the USTA Pacific Northwest (PNW) Senior Men’s Service Award. Popplewell and his partner finished first in the men’s 65 open doubles at the 50th Annual Pacific Continental Bank Open Tennis Championships in Eugene in July, and took second place in the men’s 60 open doubles division and third in the men’s 65 open doubles division at the GPTC Nike 113th Senior Championships in Lake Oswego that same month.
Junior member Claire DeVoe won the 6A Metro League District Cross Country Championship at Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation Center in late October, clocking a personal-best time of 17:51.
