Fall Sports Review

Boys Cross Country

The boys cross country team was confident entering this season; sophomore runner Eben Lowenstein says, “We were all really excited, and knowing what the returners and upperclassmen were capable of, we had our sights set on winning the DCL [Dual County League].” Although the team failed to meet this goal, they still had a successful season—they sent their top seven runners to States.

Cheerleading

The cheerleading team had another great season alongside the football team at Russell Field. They really felt they grew as a team from last year and bonded by the end of this fall season. They also enjoyed watching the football team win more games than they had in years previous. According to junior Amy Khoshbin, they are hoping to “close out the season strong with an awesome performance” in the final games.

Girls Volleyball

The girls volleyball team had a disappointing season after coming off one of the best in the school’s history. The team only managed a record of 6-13 despite high expectations. However, their record does not define the season they had, as many games came down to the wire and resulted in extremely close scores.

Football

Golf

The golf team knew this season was going to be difficult from the beginning. Sophomore Luc Denney said, “We knew we were going to be pretty weak; we lost a lot of seniors [last year].” The team went winless this year in 15 matches. This record is certainly a reflection of the level of competition in the Dual County League.

Fencing

This fall, the fencing team experienced a massive success, with the relatively new CRLS program growing to an all-time high of 60 members. There is a lot of enthusiasm within the program heading into the competitive winter season. “We’ll have to cut down on our numbers and make tough decisions to put together a strong team to send to competitions and eventually state championships,” says senior Jonas Hansen, who was last year’s individual state champion.

Crew

The crew team had a successful fall, with both the boys and the girls teams competing in several races, including the Head of Charles, the Public School Races, and the Textile River Regatta. According to Zoe Tekeian ’20, the team “had a pretty successful season,” especially in the Head of the Charles. “At the Head of the Charles, we finished 24th out of 85 at the Head of the Charles in our race, eight places higher than last year,” she says.

Boys Soccer

Despite a young core of runners, the girls cross country team had a successful season in the Dual County League. Senior Caroline Williams says, “We had a good season; there was a lot of improvement throughout the whole team … There is a lot of young talent, so the future looks bright.” Williams placed second at the Division 1 meet this year and is now heading to All-States.

Girls Soccer

After graduating eleven seniors in 2018, the team knew it was going to be a rebuilding year. “I think this season was a building year because of the loss of last year's seniors, as well as some changes to the program,” junior captain Margaux Harrington says. “However, I think the team handled these changes well and showed a great deal of perseverance throughout the course of the season.”
