First of all, congratulations to our Ultimate all-star, Mr. Rutherford, whose men’s club team, Big Wrench, made it to the semi-finals of the the Northeast Regional Ultimate Tournament this past weekend, before losing to the eventual winner, Ironside.  Also, Mr. Thompson’s son’s mixed team, Cosa Nostra, won the South Central Regionals to qualify for the Nationals in Texas in mid-October.  (That’s Sawyer Thompson in blue below.)

Alpine Skiing Coach Ed Hing (who is also teaches photography and digital video) reports that, despite the brutal temperatures on Wednesday, January 8, the Williston Northampton skiers had an awesome first race.

“Yes, it was insanely cold,” Mr. Hing wrote in an email. “Yes, the second varsity run was as icy as a skating rink. YES, WNS SKIERS ROCKED MISL ONE!!!”

The girls varsity placed second of eight, the boys varsity A team placed third of 12, the boys varsity B team placed six of 12, the JV girls placed second of four. See the full results at the Mount Institute Ski League website under “Race #1” on the top left.

“An amazing day for Williston Skiing,” wrote Mr. Hing. “This season is off to a great start. Congratulations (Snow Leopards?)”

Dear Williston Community –

While all of our contests with Suffield were spirited and hard fought, our friendly rivals down the road in Connecticut will be retaining the cup for another year.  The final score was very close: Suffield 9 Williston 7.  I wanted to congratulate and thank ALL of the Willy students who donned the green and blue this past week against Suffield.   I believe strongly that athletics should bring out the best in us as competitors and I heard nothing but great things from coaches and others about how well and how hard we competed and represented Williston… Much as we all like to win, this is what is MOST important!  Good luck to everyone these last two weeks finishing your seasons on a high note.  Always proud to be a Wildcat!!!
