Varsity lacrosse Attacker, Gavin Poulshock (’22) said that “We can expect the game to be fast and super aggressive.” Poulshock stated how “last year our season was shut down because of Covid but now we are coming back with more experience and older players so we will win more games.” To prepare for the season Poulshock said that “We have been doing a lot of strength work and we were in a winter tournament with a few teams which really helped us stay fit so we can come out looking good and ready to play. Stav Cohen (’25) junior varsity lacrosse player said “we can expect a lot of progressions and the build of chemistry throughout the season.”
The track team has been practicing very hard and kept working especially hard in the offseason, Ava Crawley (’25) who is on the track team said, “Before the season to prepare we were going to the gym a lot to get stronger and doing a lot of running to stay fit.” This season fans should expect a lot out of the track team.

We won our first game and it’s great momentum for the rest of the season.” Gill also said that “It’s a hard-working team and we will persevere through all our obstacles throughout the season to continue winning.”
