VARSITY SKIING The varsity ski team came into the year with a smaller and more inexperienced team. Griffin Fluehr ’21 and Harrison Salisbury ’20 led the team in placing and finishes, holding their own in many races throughout the season. The team finished in 7th place at the NEPSAC Championships this year and looks forward to growing as a team next year.

VARSITY SQUASH The varsity squash team came into the year with few returning players and a lot of inexperience in the lineup. While the team failed to win a team match, players triumphed in their individual matches throughout the year. Huma Bekhiet ’19 led the way at the #1 spot, winning a number of matches and regularly taking on the opposing teams’ toughest players. As a whole, the team showed great improvement throughout the season. They look forward to a promising year ahead with a large group of returning players.

VARSITY WRESTLING The varsity wrestling team finished their dual meet schedule with a record of 10-4. The team finished 2nd at the Western New England Tournament and 4th at the New England Tournament, edging out Brunswick by a half of a point. 8 Trinity-Pawling wrestlers earned All-New England titles by placing in their respective weight classes. The Pride then brought 6 wrestlers to Prep Nationals and finished 20th out of 122 schools. All six wrestlers won matches and contributed to the team finishing one place ahead of Brunswick, placing in the Top 20. This was the second highest finish for the Pride since 2006. Lucas Hughes ’20 and David Bancroft ’20 both made the top 16 – two matches away from placing. Liam Dietrich ’21 earned All-American status by placing 4th in the 285 lb weight class! This is the highest finish for any Pride wrestler at Nationals since 2008. The team’s future looks bright, as they return 8 All-New England wrestlers and 1 All-American next year.
