Pierce, who will attend the High Point University, distinguished himself during his four years as an athlete at Williston. During the fall, he distinguished himself in the cross country program where his determination and mental toughness made him one of the top runners in New England. He earned All New England recognition in both his junior and senior years for his top 15 finishes at the NEPSAC championships. In the winter, he captained the wrestling team while earning both the MVP and Edgerton Awards for most pins. After earning All New England recognition, he then finished his career by finishing in the top 16 in his weight class at the Nationals held at Lehigh University. In the spring, he demonstrated his versatility as an athlete, by earning letters in both tennis and track and field. \u00a0 He is widely considered by his coaches to be a relentless competitor, a terrific leader and a great teammate.<\/p>\n<p>The Alumnae Bowl was awarded to <strong>Amanda Cronin <\/strong>and<strong> Karly Simpson<\/strong>.

During the winter, she demonstrated her exceptional athleticism on the ice by helping to lead the girls&#8217; varsity hockey team to two NEPSAC tournament berths. In the spring, she was a team captain and Davis Award winner on the varsity girls\u2019 lacrosse team that lost one game during her two years at Williston. Beyond her significant achievement in our program, she is widely considered by all of her coaches a selfless teammate, a fierce and tireless competitor, and a wonderful ambassador of our athletic program.<\/p>\n<p>Simpson, who will attend Trinity College, had an equally impressive career during her six years at Williston earning 14 varsity letters captaining all three of her teams as a senior. In the fall, she was an outstanding leader of the girls&#8217; varsity soccer team.\u00a0 In the winter, she captained the girls&#8217; varsity basketball team for the past two years.\u00a0 During the spring, she has been significant contributor to our girls lacrosse program. A six year letter winner, she led the team in goals, assists, and ground balls while earning All New England recognition the past three years. She is the top point scorer in our school\u2019s history and has been a part of a program that has lost only three games in six years. Beyond her outstanding accomplishments she is widely praised by her coaches for her outstanding work ethic, her competitive fire and her exceptional leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/athletics\/files\/2013\/05\/ostbergDSC_0155.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-943\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/athletics\/files\/2013\/05\/ostbergDSC_0155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/athletics\/files\/2013\/05\/ostbergDSC_0155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/athletics\/files\/2013\/05\/ostbergDSC_0155-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a>Varsity Baseball<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walter R.
