At the end of the first month of school, the community is so relieved to be back on the field, the trail, and the pitch once again.
A slate of games are already in the books, and the boys have faced the successes and challenges that make sports such an integral part of our educational experience.
Mountain Biking:
Trinity-Pawling School is enjoying the first year of competition for our mountain biking team behind the leadership of Coach Bresler and Coach Avis. Alex Kozin ’23 medaled at both the Hotchkiss Hammerfest and the South Kent Cardinal Climb, while Henry Beimler ’24, Mason Hughes ’22, and Rain Xia ’23 have also enjoyed success in the first two events. The team looks forward to their next race at Kent School this Wednesday.
Football:
The football team rattled off two strong wins to start the season, but faced a disciplined Taft team this weekend and fell by a big score. PG leaders Luke Daly, Connor Gioia, Jack Kaiser, Olijah Williams, and Joe Patierno have strengthened the ethos of the team, while returning seniors Mason Clark and AJ Robinson have forged leadership through the first third of the season.
Soccer:
Soccer has had a difficult stretch to open the season, and they are still searching for their first league win. Kasey Mongillo ’22 has led the way for the young team, followed by Kevin Kraska ’24 and Sal Zani ’24, with youngsters Dominic Zani ’26, Nick McAvoy ’25, Hunter Baran ’25, and Emilio Odabachian ’25 bringing in support from the bottom up.
Cross Country:
The Pride runners have had a great start to the season, with Harry Clark ’23 and Tyler Olsen ’24 finishing second and third place overall at Avon. This past week, Clark won the race at Choate, with Olsen finishing sixth overall and John Berbano ’24 coming up in the 11th spot. The boys look forward to continuing their success at a race at Kent School this weekend.
