About Hempfield Athletics

  • The Hempfield Board of School Directors provides funding for 24 varsity sports and a total of 66 teams competing at the varsity, junior varsity, junior high, and junior high junior varsity levels.
     
    Athletics are recognized as an integral part of the total educational program of the Hempfield School District. The first and foremost purpose of the Hempfield School District is to provide the best education for our student athletes. Athletics are an extension of the academic curriculum. Athletics contribute to the physical, social, emotional and moral development of the students involved.
     
    Since it is a privilege to participate on extracurricular teams, each student athlete carries with them responsibilities and expectations set forth by the PIAA and the Hempfield Board of School Directors.
     
    Our goal is to develop highly competitive athletes without losing sight of the educational process and its values of sportsmanship, health, and scholastic achievement.

  • Boys Cross Country Team wins 2020 Lancaster-Lebanon League Championship

    Posted by Kimberly Snyder on 10/21/2020 11:45:00 AM

    The Hempfield boys' cross country team won the 2020 Lancaster-Lebanon League cross country championship!

    Hempfield Boys Cross Country Team.

     
    They placed first by attacking the race from the beginning. The red shirts were visible in the front throughout the entire 3.1 mile course.
     
    Sophomore Aidan Hodge had a tight race for second, holding off two strong runners from McCaskey and Manheim Township.  Aidan's confidence and composure never faltered.
     
    Junior Dale Winand and senior Evan Eshleman placed sixth and seventh, followed closely by sophomore Joe Fahrney in ninth place.  These three went toe-to-toe with two Cedar Crest and two McCaskey runners the whole race, eventually breaking up the scoring opportunities for our closest rivals in this race.
     
    Freshman Sam Freedman finished as our fifth and final point scorer by placing twentieth.  This gutsy newcomer shows a "never back down" attitude every time he laces up his spikes.
     
    Senior David Jackson and sophomore Chris Titter rounded out our winning ways by placing thirty-first and thirty-fourth, respectively.  It was agreed that Chris passed more people in this race than any other!
     
    Seven Hempfield runners, finishing in the top thirty-four, in a race that had one hundred fifty-six total runners!
