Spotlight on our Fall Teams
VARSITY SOCCER
The Nashoba Brooks School varsity soccer team enjoyed another outstanding fall season. Captained by A. Dong ‘20 and A. Haines ‘20, the team started and ended the season with strength and confidence. Comprised of 12 players from Grade 8, the team had an amazing sense of familiarity and strong teamwork that they have carried as a team since they started playing together in Grade 6. Finishing the season with a winning record of 8-1, demonstrated how hard these players worked to make this season a great one. Above all, each player showed amazing dedication to sportsmanship and support of one another on and off the field.

JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER

The Nashoba Brooks School varsity soccer team had a great season of camaraderie and opportunities to learn and celebrate success. Team captains H. Patton ‘22, C. Nagtegaal ‘22, and A. Shen ‘21 took turns motivating the team to four wins and four losses. Halftime feedback included messages of working together and everyone doing their part. Teammates often led by example and displayed flexibility as they enjoyed the process of finding their place on the team by playing different positions. The team is already looking ahead to next year.
CROSS-COUNTRY RUNNING
The Nashoba Brooks School cross-country running team had a phenomenal season. Led by captains A. Happ ‘20, E. Wonsey ‘20, and A. Ata ‘22, the team of 18 runners worked hard to improve a little bit every week. That hard work paid off, with every runner improving by at least 1 minute, 48 seconds from the first home meet of the season to the last. The team’s average improvement was an incredible 2 minutes, 41 seconds. The Jim Munn Invitational, the largest middle school cross-country meet in the United States, was the highlight of the season. We will miss the leadership of our Grade 8 runners but look forward to next year with our younger runners who consistently strive to achieve their personal best in each race.

VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY

The Nashoba Brooks School field hockey team completed an outstanding season, finishing with nine wins, two ties, and one loss. The team had an incredible group of Grade 8 students, each of whom contributed to a cooperative and supportive team spirit. Our captains G. Weaver ‘20, T. Renyi ‘20, A. Gregory ‘20, and E. Sohn ‘20 modeled sportsmanship, dedication, and a love of the game which was spread to the newest players on our team. With a broad span of playing experience, this group did an unbelievable job of working together and drawing from each other’s strengths to set a firm foundation for future teams to follow.
