Riley Walsh ’22
Riley is working hard getting stronger and smarter in the way she plays. She is coming up with big goals at keys times in many of our games. Riley is a spark of energy for our team on and off the ice.
-- Chris Ardito, Head Coach, Girls’ Varsity Hockey
Saige Roberts ’19
In our first 8 games of the season, Saige has lead the girls’ varsity basketball team to a 7-1 record. She has lead the team in scoring in 7 of our 8 games averaging 23 points per game...including a 32 point performance in a win over the reigning B class champions, Pomfret.
In that game, Saige hit a program record 8 three-pointers. However, it has been Saige’s leadership and positive attitude that have made her invaluable to the team. Her motivation and drive are infectious and makes those around her better.
-- Karen Henry, Head Coach, Girls’ Varsity Basketball

Taylor Hennum ’20
Taylor is the ultimate devotee of freeskiing, and for all the right reasons. Taylor shows up every single day in search of the feeling he gets when he skis, the fulfillment he gets when he learns
something new, and for the opportunity to be outside, alive, and a part of a group that is all striving for the same things, individually. Taylor leads this group, whether he knows it or not, simply by showing up and being himself.
-- Chris Marks, Head Coach, Freeski
