Athletics News, September 9

We hope this message finds everyone well. We've had a great start to the school year, and it has been great to see such focus and energy all week long, particularly as our Spartans have started to don their orange and black and start competing, not to mention the work in the classroom!

ATHLETIC UPDATES

Congrats to our girls cross country team for its season-opening victory against Auburn on Wednesday, 20-41. The girls took five of the first six places in pacing the win.

Our boys cross country, field hockey, girls soccer, and golf teams all had close losses on Wednesday, while the boys soccer team had a 2-2 draw, all against Auburn. Lots of teams are in action today, including the football season opener at Quabbin.

Our football team attended the #TopCop game between Leicester and Auburn on Thursday, September 8. We received numerous emails and messages from parents and fans at the game, lauding our coaching staff for attending the game, which honored fallen Officer Tarantino, who served on both police forces. Kudos to Coach Martellio and his staff for extending the lessons of life beyond the gridiron and having our team attend in support of both communities.

We concluded interviews for a new athletic trainer this week, and we are hopeful that we will be able to make the announcement public next week. We hope to see many of you at our sporting events very soon!
