An almost-unbelievable year has earned Cy-Fair High School national accolades.

The school's athletics program was ranked by Sports Illustrated as the No. 4 high school program in the nation for 2007-2008.

Cy-Fair ranked behind No. 1 Punahou (Honolulu), No. 2 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and No. 3 Tupelo (Miss.) in Sports Illustrated’s “Top 25 athletic programs for 2007-08,” posted on SI.com on Tuesday.

This year, Cy-Fair has captured the state championship in girls basketball, reached the state semifinals in girls volleyball, and also claimed district championships in girls track, girls cross country and baseball. The football, softball and girls soccer teams also made the playoffs, and girls swimmer Jennifer Lamb earned a bronze medal at state.

Sports Illustrated listed Cy-Fair’s standout athletes as Stanford-bound girls’ basketball player Nneka Ogwumike, Michigan-bound running back Sam McGuffie and UCLA-bound Lamb.
