Congratulations to the fall sports teams on a great season!
The outstanding performances of many individuals contributed to the overall success of the teams this year, and these accomplishments were recognized at the Fall Sports Awards night on Nov. 5.
Season highlights included sectional title wins for both the girls and boys soccer teams and two girls cross-country runners, Clara Lind and Teresa Ross-Richer, advancing to regionals. Junior Sadie Brenneman set a new all-time kills record and senior Jadyn Kaufmann broke the career assists record for volleyball, and the boys tennis team finished with a winning record for the first time in several years. Congratulations, athletes!
