Julie had exceptional wins for the girls’ varsity tennis team in her last two matches. She was victorious against both Westminster’s and Deerfield’s number one singles players. In both of these matches, she was tested by strong players but was able to use her powerful groundstrokes and serve effectively. She also demonstrated intelligent shot selection and mental toughness in these matches. Julie’s work ethic and her ability to lead by example makes her a great role model for the younger players on the team.

Andrew plays a crucial role on the boys’ varsity lacrosse team as the face-off man. At the face-off, Andrew has won nearly 60% of his draws this year, which has amounted to 70+ possessions for Williston’s offense. Last week he was 11/18 against Wilbraham and Monson, and 10/12 against Hopkins. Andrew’s play has been vital to the success of the team this season.

Kelly has pitched very well for the jv baseball team. Recently he went 5 1/3 innings against Salisbury to get the win and a full 7 innings giving up no earned runs in the team’s win over Rectory. Kelly’s attitude, composure and work ethic are a tremendous example for the players on his team.

  1. Thanks for your question, Rachel. Athletes of the week are nominated by the coaches and selected by the department. If there’s someone on the Ultimate Frisbee team who you think deserves special recognition, please let Coach Rutherford know!
