Spring Blog and Athletic Updates

Spring Season Blog
Track and Field may have had a slow start but, both the girls and boys teams, are steadily improving their records. All of their hard work over the past several weeks is starting to pay off. As each meet goes by many athletes are achieving personal records. Some athletes have already qualified for the Division 4 State Class meet. Congratulations to Jonathan Pierre, Jess Rega, Julia McRoberts, Ruth Labranche, Anand Panigraphy, and the 4x800 team of Shannon Kelley, Hannah Kelley, Paige Roche, and Jackie Shuttleworth. With only a few regular season meets left, we hope to see man more athletes qualify for states. The team has been working very hard and pushed each other. Both teams have a solid record of 3-3.

Boys Lacrosse is continuing to improve upon their winning record. With an outstanding record of 10-3 the boys are still giving it all as they look to better themselves in tournament standings. The team has a large number of upperclassman but, the younger players definitely play a major role on the team. The boys are a strong team in the CCL and are willing to do whatever it takes to make a far run in the State Tournament.  They boys only have a few more home games left so make a trip down to Memorial Field and watch the boys do what they do best!

Girls Lacrosse is having a very successful season so far. With a record of 11-5, the lady bishops have clinched a spot in the State Tournament. They have been working very hard together as a team on and off the field which is really showing in their record. The girls only have two regular season home games left before they start their journey into the tournament. Congratulations to Gen Grasso, Kelli O’Brien, Olivia Barry, Kiera Dwyer, Maggie Garvey, Aine Varden, Andrea Liddell, and Lily Delaney as they celebrated their senior night just the other night!

Softball is just a few games away from making the tournament. They are a fairly young team but are still making a strong impact on the CCL. The lady bishops are making a difference whether it is on the field or off. The team has given back to the community as they volunteered at a local softball clinic where they helped younger athletes improve upon their game. The girls still have a decent amount of games left to play due to the late start because of the snow. Good luck girls and keep working hard in hopes of making the tournament.

Tennis may not be winning many of their matches but that does not mean they aren’t working hard. The girls have been over at Presidents Club almost every day during the week practicing. They have captured three wins so far and still have a few matches left. Tennis does not have any seniors as they are a young team trying to rebuild. The underclassmen have definitely helped the team grow and have pushed the juniors to work that much harder. Keep up the hard work ladies!

Baseball may not be having the season that they hoped for but that is not stopping them. With a record of 3-7 they are still doing whatever it takes to make tournament. They are in a very tough league and playing some strong teams but are always willing to step up to the plate and take on the challenge. The team has had their ups and downs as they faced a few injuries. The team is hoping to be completely healthy soon so they can finish up the regular season strong with a few more wins.
