Fall Sports Recap

TV — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:39:44 +0000

The fall 2011 athletic seasons ended in early November with great success. The volleyball team, which ended its first year of varsity play with a record of 2-11, was competitive in a number of matches this season, taking several games to four sets, and one game to five. Comprised primarily of freshman and sophomores, the team has a promising future as they continue to develop their individual skills and understanding of the game. This year’s standout player was junior Suli Lisk, who received honorable mention in the Delaney Athletic Conference and was selected to an All-Tournament Team.

The cross-country team also performed well during a year of rebuilding. After graduating the majority of the varsity boys’ squad in June, sophomores Alec Morin and James Clancy led the Warriors this season, earning spots on the Delaney Athletic Conference All-Conference Team. Clancy finished 55^th at the Virginia Independent School Athletic Association (VISAA) State Meet; Morin finished 62^nd.

The girls’ squad also faced a great challenge this season after the team’s leading runner, junior Maggie Van Deusen, had to sit out due to injury. Rising to the challenge, however, were junior Laura Woodhead and sophomore Anna Cassidy, who earned spots on the Delaney Athletic Conference All-Conference Team for the second year in a row. Woodhead also finished 42^nd at the VISAA State Meet; Cassidy finished 52^nd.

Congratulations, Warriors, for a job well done!
