THE BOYS OF
AUTUMN
FALL SPORTS
WRAPUP
BY MIKE KENNEDY ’99
Powering the School’s traditional hues of Brown & Gold, ’Wick’s fall varsity teams booted, bruised, ran, and splashed their way to a trophy-hoisting season.

N EVERY arena — the pitch, the gridiron, the course, and the pool — the Bruins competed valiantly with their sports rivals, fighting for every inch of ground (or water) en route to glorious victory or agonizing defeat.
The soccer team began a new era under head coach
Christian Gonzalez, quickly turning heads with a ninegame winning streak against New England foes and a coveted trip to the playoffs. Cross-country runners, too, continued their fleetfooted dominance by racing to an undefeated record in the FAA and securing their thirdstraight league title. And, in a pair of repeat performances, the water polo and football squads celebrated their seasons in style with back-to-back New England crowns. Altogether, the Bruins — or the Boys of Autumn, as they could rightly be named — combined to kick off the ’Wick athletic year in fantastic fashion. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo TOB Winter 2016 47-51.indd 47 oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
