Tryouts for the boys’ soccer, girls’ soccer, football, and volleyball programs wrapped up this week and rosters are set for the fall season. Varsity teams will kick off the interscholastic schedule next week with six games on tap, including four at home. The girls’ varsity soccer and varsity volleyball teams will get things going on Tuesday afternoon, while the field hockey and cross country teams finish out the week on Thursday with a pair of home tilts. Expectations are high this season and athletes are ready for action.

  • Ethan Antipov (boys’ soccer), Piper Connors (girls’ soccer), Sophia Clark-Quintanilla (volleyball), and Dalia DiCrescenzo (volleyball) were the only sixth graders to earn spots on varsity teams this fall.
  • Christine Deng, Nihka Linhart, Lucie Mora, and Eyan Morales anchor a talented junior varsity volleyball team that is looking to build on the positive momentum they established last year in their inaugural season.
  • Bea Stevenson and Abigail Chang have already emerged as leaders on the girls’ junior varsity soccer team. The duo will look to bring six new players into the fold and create an inclusive soccer environment.
  • Fresh off successful lower school PE careers, sixth grade classmates Woody Evans, Max Kishlansky, and Rubin Xiao highlight a talented boys’ junior varsity soccer team that hopes to pile up some wins this fall.
  • Sam Doyle, Joshua Harriette, Deniz Kas, Suryavir Nallari-Jhala, and Colin Parry all return for their second year on junior varsity football and will use their experience to flip the script on last year’s 1-5 record.
  • Cross country newcomers Ashwin Balakrishnan, Stuart Sun, Penelope Wong, and Boya Yun all had strong showings during their first-ever run on the 2.2-mile home course. The team will open up against Charles River next week.
