With the beginning of the 2023 spring athletics season, the Episcopal Knights track team is looking forward to a promising year of successful events.

Although the team graduated a considerable amount of varsity seniors last year, the coaching staff is confident that the talent pool will continue to expand and bring in new runners who are full of potential.

After beginning their training on January 30, the athletes displayed exemplary resolve and commitment by braving the intense cold temperatures during practice. The team has a schedule full of upcoming competitions that will allow them to establish themselves as formidable opponents. The coaching staff believes that this year’s group of rising talent and returning athletes will make for an excellent season and potentially bring home an SPC title. The athletes hope to continue improving their skills as they enter the peak of the spring season and plan to perform highly throughout the semester.

This season the varsity boys golf team consists of talented players such as Jack Hartman, Henry Crain, James Carter, Jack Oren, Wilhelm Olsson, Bradley O’Donnell, Jackson Conner, and Dylan Katz. The girls golf team final roster is not set yet since their first tournament will be on March 1 at the BlackHorse Golf Club. The boys first tournament was on February 13 at the Strake Invitational.

Both teams are motivated by the same goal, which Girls Head Coach Meghan Moake emphasized is to “win SPC.”

With the 2023 EHS boys lacrosse season coming to a start, the Knights lacrosse team is thrilled to begin the season they have been preparing for throughout the school year. With nine seniors graduating from last year’s squad, the Knights have 12 seniors eager to play one last season.

Four notable seniors who will continue their lacrosse skills in college are Jackson Hearn, committed to Gettysburg College, ranked 8 in D3 Lacrosse; Connor Shanley and Drew Haffner, both committed to Florida Tech Institute of Technology; and Senator Flood, committed to Southwestern University.

Last season, the Knights finished with a loss in the Class A state playoff semifinals to Lake Travis 10-7. This year, Hearn says the Knights are on their “revenge tour” with hopes to finally bring home the Class-A State trophy and “restore the peace.”

This season the Knights have 22 regular season games, and on February 14 the Knights started the schedule against Stratford and won 15-2. The most electric games this season will presumably be against the Knights rivals, such as St. John’s and Kinkaid.

Save the date for March 24 at St. John’s at 7:00 to watch St. John’s lose to the Knights. If you are hoping to watch Kinkaid lose to the Knights, come to the EHS fields at 7:00 on March 28.
