The Falcons are sharpening their talons for the spring season—could a flight to victory be ahead? After running a nationally qualifying distance medley relay, Boys Indoor Track captain Daniel Bronstein ’25 is eager to lace up the spikes this spring. He told the Register Forum, “I can’t recall a time in the recent history of [Boys Track] where we have had such strong momentum.” Bronstein is correct to mention a forward trajectory for the distance squad, though a scarcity of strong jumpers and sprinters can limit the ability of the team as a whole.
Boys Lacrosse captain Roy Bellows ’25 predicted “16-0!!!” for their season record. His team may have more work cut out for them if they really want to be competitive with the head honchos of Division I lacrosse. Last year the boys team was ranked 33rd out of 44 teams in the Division, with only the top 32 teams guaranteed a spot in the state tournament. Bellows’ positive attitude is sure to help his team succeed over the next few months.
Ultimate Frisbee was one of the strongest CRLS programs last year, and with a committed group of seniors, they are likely to excel again. In 2024, the varsity team competed in Division I for the first time, and placed fifth in the state. Captain Rosie Schrag ’25, told the Register Forum, “We’re going to have a pretty big team and we’re excited … I think we’re going to have a good season.” Coached by frisbee guru Erik Sebesta, the team is poised for a highly competitive season. Could a state title be in their future?
Conversely, Girls Tennis finished last year with a 3-13 record. Eden Abraham ’25, a team manager, commented, “Our season last year wasn’t super successful.” Nevertheless, Abraham remains hopeful, telling the Register Forum, “I think we’re going to have a big team of dedicated members who are very excited to learn and grow as players.” On the flip side of the racket, Boys Tennis captain Stefan Grubor ’25 spoke of tacking on wins to the Boys’ solid 2024 run where they finished 20th in Division I.
Indoor Track produced multiple national qualifiers, and the team typically performs even better outdoors. Although the track team faces a similar challenge to the boys program in terms of a distance-heavy pool of state-qualifiers, captain Margot Kelsey ’25 is optimistic, “We’ve got a strong team and have built up a lot over the past two seasons.”
Three other teams demonstrated strong potential. The crew program is set up for victory, with both teams winning the Massachusetts public school championship in the fall. In addition, Boys Volleyball captain, Eric Su ’25, told the Register Forum, “We are looking to make a successful run at states and hopefully win DCLs.” Baseball has the ex act same goals, according to Oliver Henke ’26, who cited his team’s powerful pitching and “relatively young” composition as reasons to be hopeful. The Falcons can expect an exciting spring sports season, and as always, be sure to root, root, root for the home team!
