They were the last chances to be the first in the first year at Capital City High School.
But with the cancellation of the spring sports season by the Missouri State High School Activities Association due to concerns about Covid-19, those firsts will have to wait until Year 2.
"Our kids were very excited," Capital City activities director Robert Ndessokia said. "A new school with new traditions. It would have been the chance to be the first to do something in the history of a program and that was taken away from them this year.
"But it was beyond our control, we all know that."
The cancellation of spring sports might affect Capital City more than most schools because it was their first year, an opportunity for the freshmen and sophomores to get a taste of competition at the varsity level.
"There's a lot of kids that came out this spring, we had 110 kids come out for track, a lot of them had not done track before," Ndessokia said. "That's a testament to the efforts of our coaches encouraging the kids, buying in."
But it wasn't all for naught.
"The kids and coaches put in a lot of hard work and I think they don't believe they have anything to show for it," Ndessokia said. "But I saw the hard work they were putting in at practice from the first day, I could see the improvement."
Ndessokia believes it was a successful first year for Capital City athletics, even though it didn't always show up in the win column. With the exception of football, Capital City played varsity competition.
"We were asking our freshmen and sophomores to go against seniors in a lot of the competitions and that can be tough and a lot to ask," he said. "But we made sure to note a lot of the little things, we were getting better, the kids stayed with it and learned from it."
The Cavaliers will build off that next fall and winter.
"A lot of kids are saying they are going to come out next year," Ndessokia said. "They saw what we were doing and are excited about it.
"Our coaches have built a lot of strong relationships with our kids and that's very, very important."
One of the highlights of the season was the school hosting the Class 4 District 10 Tournament in boys and girls basketball.
"It was a lot of of work, it was an opportunity for us to play at home and for the public to see our facilities," Ndessokia said.
The new school year will present a new challenge - the first season of the Central Missouri Activities Conference. Last week, the seven conference schools wrapped up schedules for spring sports.
"Everything in the conference has been set," Ndessokia said. "We know there will be some bumps in the road, but we're excited about it looking toward the future."
There's one more challenge this season. The school passed out uniforms and equipment to athletes for the spring season. But with school called off, administrators are looking for a way to get it back.
"No one thinks of that, our stuff is brand new," Ndessokia said. "No one really has all the answers to do it in a safe way."
