9 Go Big Red!
FAST FRIENDS
K
atie Dishner ’15 and Amy Orser ’15 first met as third formers. They were roommates in Stanley House. This coincidental pairing did not escape the notice of each girl’s father. Jeffrey Dishner ’83 P’15 and Henson Orser ’83 P’15 were friends at Lawrenceville, too. They also supported each other as members of the varsity track team. And, as of this past year, so do the younger generation of Dishners and Orsers.
During the spring season, both girls were part of a stellar team that won both the M.A.P.L. and N.J.I.S.A.A. championships. The girls have distinguished themselves in their own right as well. At the N.J.I.S.A.A., Orser and Dishner placed third and fourth in the mile, respectively, both recording personal best times. “They are probably the best milers I have,” says Katie Chaput, the girls’ indoor and outdoor track coach. It apparently runs in the families.
