Cross Country had an impressive performance at the NEPSTA Division III Championships at Canterbury School on Saturday. The girls team finished third overall and the boys team finished first. It was the first time boys Cross Country captured the New England Championship and the school’s 3rd ever NE title (the girls Cross Country team won it in 2015 and 2016). Three Wheeler runners placed in the top 15 of this year’s boys race -- Evan Atwood ’25 (5th), Reid Wemple ’26 (6th), and Zach Crowthers ’26 (12th), and two Wheeler runners placed in the top 20 of the girls race -- Ashton Carson ’27 (16th) and Evelyn Zhang ’25 (19th). Courtesy of those finishes each runner will receive All-NEPSAC honors!
Field Hockey capped off their season with a 3-0 win on Friday against Beaver Country Day, which pushed their overall record to 12-5-2. The Warriors hit double-digit wins for the first time in five years and narrowly missed earning a bid to the prestigious NEPSAC Tournament. The future is bright for Coach Frost and his Field Hockey Program!
Boys Soccer dropped a heartbreaker in the semifinals of the EIL playoffs at Portsmouth Abbey on Friday. The Ravens found the back of the night with just over four minutes to go in regulation, which broke a 0-0 tie. Despite the loss, the Warriors earned the 8th seed in the NEPSAC Class C Championship and faced off against a talented Vermont Academy team. The team kept the top-seeded Wildcats off the board for the first half of action but eventually fell to the perennial title contenders 3-0.
The co-op Football team lost in the quarterfinal round of the RIIL Division IV playoffs to Smithfield HS 37-14. Connor Mahoney ’25 and Peter Gower ’25 finished off their four-year careers on a high note with a crowd of classmates cheering them on from the stands!
