Strong Programs Add to Their Legacy

Varsity Golf Wins Unprecedented Maisad Championship

Our Varsity Golf team didn’t just win the MAISAD Championship this year—it did so unlike any other team has ever done. Our top six golfers finished in the top six positions overall in the Championship match after an undefeated season. “That’s never been done before,” Coach Byron Martin shared, adding, “This year’s team was deeper than ever before. Every single position on the ladder was challenged by the golfer behind them.” Another differentiator this year? The team’s leadership. “Leadership is putting into practice what we should be focusing on, rather than just playing for fun. It’s playing for fun with a purpose, and that’s what our guys did this year,” Coach Martin said proudly. He also shared how much he enjoyed having some of our alumni golfers keep tabs on this year’s team to see how their seasons compared.

Our Girls’ Varsity Soccer team has a long history of strong seasons, and this one was no different. We went 18-1, tallying 74 goals and 13 shutouts, while only conceding eight goals. We won Lakes Region and NEPSAC Championships for the second year in a row, which is a program first, and Abigail Jarvi ’23 earned

NEPSAC Class C Player of the Year. “The 2022 team played incredible soccer that was almost magical to watch at times: They passed and possessed with total composure, confidence, and teamwork, and they defended collectively and effectively in those rare moments where they were not in possession,” Coach Matt Butcher says. He also noted the team’s commitment to respect. “Throughout the season, opposing coaches and referees complimented the team not only on their level of play but also on their respectfulness and decorum.” •

Brewster Crew Goes To The Head Of The Charles

While our Brewster crew program isn’t new, our past two seasons have brought enormous success and growth under the leadership of Head Coach Katy Varga-Wells. On average, we placed in the top third of our competitions, including several notable finishes: at the New England Championships, Novice Boys and Girls won gold and Varsity Girls won bronze; at the Head of the Fish, duo Melanie Rundall ’26 and Liam Carey ’23 won bronze; and both Varsity Boys’ and Girls’ competed at the Head of the Charles, the first

time in school history for Girls’ Crew. Coach VargaWells knows that this success has a lot to do with the team’s mindset and chemistry. “Our team is special because we are a close-knit group of folks who are undaunted by the hard work that goes into building a successful program,” she reflected. “In the sport of rowing, there are very few things one can control on race day. We recognize that good teams deal with the ‘uncontrollables’ really well, but great teams are laser-focused on the things that they can control, such as attitude, effort, and intensity. This lets us put our energy into performing well as a team.” •
