Athletes and Team of the Week - Jan. 26

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

Athletes of the Week:

 

Jess Shapiro - Girls' Varsity Squash - VI Form

Jessica had a terrific match against St. Paul’s last Wednesday. It was her first varsity match, as two players were missing, and she stepped into the #7 position to face a higher-rated and more experienced opponent. As she does in every match, Jessica gave 100%, running down every ball, consistently moving play to the back of the court, and applying relentless pressure that forced unforced errors. Showing tremendous grit and composure, she never gave up and ultimately secured a thrilling 13–11 victory in the fifth game, helping lead the team to a dominant 7–0 win over St. Paul’s.

- Coaches Ishizuka and Das

 

Darren Li - Varsity Swim - III Form

Darren helped score 20 points in the Groton Boys' 59 to 34 win over Milton Academy boys. He swam season best times in all 4 of his events (200 Medley Relay, 100 Fly, 100 Back, 400 Free Relay) resulting in 1st place finishes in all his races.

- Coaches Fei, Tringale, and Aigbedion

 

Tyler Koh - Boys' JV Basketball - II Form

Once again the Boys JV Basketball team was led by standout II former Tyle Koh as they captured their third victory in a row at Governor's Academy on Saturday afternoon. Koh led the team in scoring (31 points), assists, and steals. His spirited defense helped to set a spark for the team. Koh's efforts at practice have served as an inspiration for his teammates and his tenacity on game day has elevated the play of those around him.
