I am proud of everyone this season and so impressed and grateful for our seniors Arie and Aidan and wish them luck next year in college! Go Wyverns!

Varsity 5/18 Hopkins Win KO 200 Hopkins 216 Last regular season match of the year at home against Hopkins School. Gillette Ridge was in great shape and certainly gave the competition some challenges.

It has certainly been a fun season. It is not over yet. We have two more days of golf to go and they are sure to be exciting. We have the Founders coming up on Saturday featuring Cody Brew, Austin Perkins, Alex Braunstein, Cloud Que, Ryan Sadowsky, and Aidan Aube. The final event is the biggest event of the year known as the prep school championship aka the KIT. Next Wednesday the 25th at Oak Ridge Golf Club.

Tennis

Boys’ Varsity 5/18 Salisbury Win 6-0 KO capped its season with a 6-0 victory on Wednesday afternoon. Due to the late starting time, both teams agreed to play singles first and forego the doubles if the match was determined after singles. Everyone played well, led by the seniors who played their final match on Senior Day. Max-William Kanz ’22 won in straight sets at #1, Teddy Keegan ’22 won in a third set super tiebreaker (11-9), and Koby Braunstein ’22 played quite well in a straight-sets win at #3. Sean Gilland ‘22 played well at #6 singles in a hard-fought straight-sets win. Rounding out the victories were Ciaran Concepcion ’26 at #4,  Will Jacobs ’23 at #5, and Will Maclean ’25 at an exhibition #7 match.  It was a fine performance by all in the season finale. 

JV Girls’ 5/21 Pomfret Loss 1-5 KO played their final match of the season on Saturday. Under a blazing sun, the team faced a generally well-matched opponent in the form of the Pomfret squad. Due to injuries, two players played in both singles and doubles; Keysy Lopez-Diaz ’24 and Anna Ollenschleger ’25 should be commended for their willingness to help the team and their grit to play hard in both matches, especially in the unusually high heat. Saanve Bathula ’24 and Keysy Lopez-Diaz ’24 came away with a doubles win, 6-3, while Francesa Lamattina ‘25 played a tight match, losing 4-6. Despite the heat, the team had fun and smiled throughout the match, in classic JV Girls’ Tennis style.
