Recent ActivitySlideshows Videos & Podcasts Department Announcements Girls Soccer 2011 AnnouncementThe girls' soccer 2011 information is posted below in a word document under "Department Files". Please read it and e-mail me your information if you are interested in fundraising this summer to both pay for your fees and help buy new equipment. I will then give that information to our booster president, Serena Benish (the mom, not the player) to stay in touch with you over the summer. Also, the calendar for the girls' season will be posted below, but changes may happen for some of the games.
Any girls that have not played a sport at ALA ever will need to get a physical and have the doctor fill out Form A before our first game (physicals for other reasons in the past do not count torward this, you must get one specifically for ALA sports); you will not be able to play until that form is turned in to me. This always includes incoming Freshman. Only one physical is needed for all girl sports at ALA. If you have already had an ALA related physical your parents need to fill out a Form B before the first game. Everyone must fill out a tryout checklist before the first day of tryouts. I will hand these out during open gym if you are unable to access them. Coach Solen 2011-2012 ALA Drill Team ALA Drill Team 2011-2012

With student, parent, and community involvement, I am confident that the ALA cross-country team will become one of the most competitive teams in the near future. I am excited to have the opportunity to help the students realize their potential and learn how to push their limits." A world-class athlete, Chan-Roper represented Hong Kong in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and also qualified for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Chan-Roper was named the Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association Athlete of the Year from 1995 through 2004. In 2009, Chan-Roper was inducted into the Brigham Young University Athletics Hall of Fame. In her four seasons of competition in cross-country and track at BYU, Coach Chan-Roper earned six different All-America citations, including three in cross-country, and three in track. She was also recognized as an Academic All-American in 1998 and was a BYU Scholar Athlete from 1995 through 1999. Since graduating in 1999, Chan-Roper has continued to run professionally, mainly competing in marathons. As a professional runner, she has been sponsored by Nike, Watson's Water, and Pharmanex. Her best professional performances include placing third in the 2004 Salt Lake City Marathon and first in the 2002 Richmond Marathon, in which she ran the third-fastest time in the race’s history.

She is currently working on her master's degree in exercise science at BYU.

Saturday morning the Eagles fought an exciting battle with Bear River but couldn’t pull it off. The Eagles captured the momentum early in game 1 and won 25-21 but struggled in games 2 and 3 losing 18-25, and 21-25.

Boo- yeah!” The Eagles are very hopeful with the direction the program is going and will continue to prepare from another successful season. Department Files
