Captains give a few words wrapping up their fall seasons

  • Record: 3 14 0

Varsity Girls Volleyball:
  • Quote ~ Lexi Schneider ’26: This year we were challenged in more ways than we expected, having a new coach and a small team and facing quite a few injuries but the highlight of this season was really how everyone stepped up and adapted to their roles on the team. We learned to communicate really well and mesh as a unit and it was a wonderful season! - Lexi Schneider ’26
  • Record: 9 8 0 

Varsity Boys Cross Country:
  • Quote ~ Theodore Sklar ’27: Despite losing 4 of our top 5 runners from last year, and losing a varsity runner mid way through the season to injury, the team still had successes, finishing 4th at FAA championships and 7th at New Englands. Next year, the team looks to be increasingly competitive, as none of our varsity runners are graduating. - Theodore Sklar ’27
