The Winter 2025 athletics season was filled with outstanding performances from our student-athletes, showcasing their skill, dedication, and teamwork across a variety of sports.
Some noteworthy highlights include Boys Varsity Basketball capping off their season with an exciting buzzer-beating victory and Girls Varsity Basketball earning a spot in the EIL Tournament. The Varsity Ice Hockey teams had strong showings, with Boys Varsity Ice Hockey finishing first place in the Holt Conference regular-season, and Girls Varsity Ice Hockey team making an impressive run to the EIL Hockey Championship. A highlight of their season was a memorable trip to Kuper Academy in Montreal, Canada. The Boys Ski team finished 1st in the Central Mass Ski League, and the Swim team had an impressive season, with both the boys and girls teams excelling at EILs and NEPSSA championships. Our sub-varsity teams competed hard and gained valuable experience, improving their skills, and building strong relationships with their teammates.
Individual achievements were also noteworthy, with several student-athletes earning well-deserved recognition. Genesis Nuñez was a standout, winning two individual events at NEPSSA. The Girls Medley Relay team, consisting of Sasha Kirianov, Victoria Colantonio, Genesis Nuñez, and Anabella Zullo, finished in second place at the NEPSSA meet. Congratulations to Jordan Maxson on reaching 1,000 career total points in boys basketball, EIL Player of the year Leo Bartone setting a new school record in swimming, and Max Kirianov earning Holt Conference co-player of the year. In addition, a number of athletes received ALL NEPSAC and All-League honors for their performances throughout the Winter season.
