Athletes of the Week – May 4th

gabbythomasGabrielle Thomas ‘15
Gabby is tearing it up on the track this season.  Against NMH and Wilbraham & Monson Gabby placed second in the 100m and the long jump, while being a part of the 1st place 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams. In the meet with Miss Porters and Suffield, she led off the 4x400m relay team that took 2nd place, and provided a trio of victories in individual events.  She finished ahead of the pack in the 100 m and won the long jump.  To finish off the meet, Gabby had an impressive debut in the triple jump, winning that event with a jump of 32’10.5”.

Jay is off to a great start at the plate for the Wildcats hitting .391 on the year with a .522 OBP.  He leads the team with four home runs on the season.  Last week, he hit homers against Cheshire and Pomfret and had four hits in six at bats in those two games.

Jill Slezek ‘14
Jill has proven to be an offensive and defensive threat for the JV softball team.  In two games last week, she went 5 for 6 at the plate, walked twice, and scored 6 runs.  From the mound, Jill was a force.  Against NMH, she struck out 3, walked 3, and helped her own cause with 11 put outs.  Against Loomis, she pitched a no hitter, striking out 8 in 5 innings and walking only 2; those are big league numbers at any level.  Her contributions have been central to the team’s undefeated start.
