Go Green! CA enjoyed a banner spring season, with nearly every team posting a .500 record or better. Multiple teams contended for Eastern Independent League (EIL) titles, and four competed in New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) tournaments.
Order on the Court
The girls varsity tennis team posted another outstanding season after a thrilling run to the NEPSAC tournament championship in 2017. This spring, the squad earned a share of the EIL title, resulting in a banner raised to the gym rafters to honor the achievement. After being seeded third in the NEPSAC tournament and cruising to the semifinals, the team fell to the eventual champions, St. Luke’s, in an incredibly close match. Since only two players have graduated, the program has its sights set on another shot at a NEPSAC championship next year.

Winning Throws
At the NEPSAC track and field championship, Sam Welsh ’18 set a New England discus record — it was the No. 1 high school throw in the country in 2018. In June, he capped an incredible season by facing the top high school throwers in the country at the New Balance High School Outdoor National Championships in Greensboro, N.C., where he won the national title.
