Meghann Treacy ‘11
Meghann had an outstanding week for the girls varsity hockey team.  She put up 29 saves for the Wildcats in a shutout victory over Hotchkiss, the first win over them in 14 years.  She then followed that up with another great performance against Westminster with 28 saves.  She has been having a tremendous season thus far and is a huge piece to the success of the team.

Addison Morse ‘12
Addison began the Boys Varsity Squash season at the #7 spot, but with a few wins and hard work he moved himself up to #6.  He had as good a start as you can, winning his first 6 matches of the season, and his game record up to last week was a remarkable 18-3.  Addison’s hard work in practice and off the court has helped him improve himself and the team overall this past season.

James Borden ‘14
James has helped the JV boys ski team to a first place in league standings.  He is currently ranked 5th out of 31 skiers in the league, and with his aggressive style and eagerness to improve he has proven to be a key reason why the JV team has had such success this season.
