The Knights of Columbus District free throw contest was held Sunday, Feb. 21 at Los Alamos High School Griffith Gymnasium.
The Los Alamos Sacred Heart council #3137 champions competed against three other northern New Mexico Knights of Columbus councils: Taos, Espanola, and Penasco. At the end of the competition, three local champions won their respective divisions and will be advancing to the state championships which will be held Sunday, March 20, at Manzano High School.
Mika Stanfield won the girls 10-year old division, Cody Rosson the 11-year old boy division and Antonio Gonzales was crowned champion in the boys’ 14-year old bracket. Also, two local competitors were runner-ups: Lena Chavez took second place in the 11-year old girls’ division and Lucario Chavez was the runner-up in the 13-year old boy bracket.
The Knights of Columbus Sacred Heart Council #3137 is very proud of all our local champions who competed at the district level and would like to wish the best of luck to those who will be advancing to the state championships next month.
We want to thank those Knights of Columbus members from various councils who helped during this event and also thank Los Alamos Public Schools for allowing us to use Griffith Gym for this great event.
