This afternoon and through the weekend, our swimmers will be competing here in Middletown at the NESCAC championships. Cara Colker-Eybel ’13 and Alexa Burzinski ’15 are having a great season on a strong squad. Our track and field athletes are in Massachusetts for the Division III tournament. All-American Tommie Lark ’12 has been jumping his way to a great season, and Heidi Hirvonen ’15 has been legging it out as if she were a veteran. The men’s and women’s squash teams are heading to the big tournament. The skills displayed by Tanesha Jackson ’13 and Grace Zimmerman ’13 are stunning, as is the tenacity of John Steele ’14 and Alex Nunez ’14. The hockey teams are facing off against Trinity this weekend. The women take to the ice in front of star goaltender Ashleigh Corvi ’13. The men are home on Saturday at 3:00 pm, charged up by leading scorer Nik Tasiopoulos ’14.
Tomorrow the women’s basketball team heads north for the NESCAC tournament, led by three seniors, Sam LaCroce ’12, Eileen Gaffney ’12 and Emily Lippe ’12. Right here in Middletown, the men’s basketball team enters the tournament with a full head of steam. The game against Bowdoin begins at 3:00. Let’s fill Silloway Gymnasium with lots of Wes fans as we cheer on recent player-of-the-week Mike Callaghan ’13 and the squad.
GO WES!!
