SPRING 2023 AWARDS 

At the beginning of the year, I asked you all to take it to the next level and you lived up to it. You trained harder than you ever trained before, you competed harder than you ever competed before, and you succeeded more than we thought possible. To the sixth-formers, I only wish I had more time with you all. In high school athletics, we only go as far as the student leaders want to go and because of you we fulfilled more goals and went further than anyone expected. –Chris Milmoe, athletic director
