Congratulations to Maddy Forbess and the Girls Crew 4th Boat on being the Athletes Of the Week!!!
Good luck in all games, matches, and races today!
“Maddy Forbess has been playing at the top of the singles and doubles ladders all season and it’s never easy to face the toughest competition on our strong schedule. In the early part of the season Maddy went 0-4 in singles and 0-3 in doubles but even during that stretch her opponents had to play excellent tennis to beat her. Maddy kept working hard with her teammates in practice and for them in matches and this past week she started coming into mid-season form. Her focus, high level of play and yes, first individual wins of the season, helped the team score a huge victory over Hotchkiss. Building momentum as she went, Maddy went 3-0 in singles and 2-0 in doubles over the course of eight days. As we head into the second half of the season, I look forward to having Maddy continue to set the bar high for herself and her teammates.”—Coach Prockop
“I’d like to nominate the girls crew fourth boat for overcoming tough losses in their first two races to finally come out victorious this Saturday and winning by open water against Taft, Southfield, Deerfield and Pomfret. This group of Third Formers are mostly novices and we look forward to seeing them get even faster this season. The crew consisted of: Autumn Johnson, Bridget Cornell, Shirley Li, Angelika Hillios, and Lily Cratsley”—Coach Doggett
