The legendary coach John Wooden made sure his teams paid attention to how they put their socks on before each practice, knowing that a wrinkle in a sock would lead to a blister that could sideline a player and adversely impact the team&#8217;s overall performance during a game or, indeed, a season.<\/p>\n<p>In our work with our students, there are many variations of socks that they must apply each day. Asking them to finish strongly in terms of larger issues, such as grades, character, and overall citizenship is closely aligned with how they handle the seemingly more routine and mundane tasks of their day-to-day responsibilities. Asking the boys to tuck in their shirts (and be in dress code in general); remove their hats in the Dann Academic Building or Scully Dining Hall; take out their earbuds during chapel, family-style meals, and class; avoid using their phones during family-style meals; etc. are not picayune requests. Rather, they are akin to pulling their socks up so that they will be better prepared for the larger responsibilities they face with the many decisions they must make during the course of the day.<\/p>\n<p>By holding a standard high on the details, we are preparing them to make good decisions about larger, more impactful decisions they make each day and during the course of the school year \u2014 and, hopefully, in their futures. Furthermore, it requires a collective &#8220;we&#8221; to ensure that a focus on details is not interpreted by the boys as petty, nit-picking requests by a few people. Through a collective, collegial approach to such a standard, our students will have a much clearer understanding that a focus on details has a larger meaning to it. When they better understand this, then they will begin to internalize it more independently, which is what we want for them with regard to the overall impact of the learning program we are providing them. In other words, if we want to have a transformational impact, we must not lose focus on the little things.<\/p>\n<p>Onward!<\/p>\n<p><em>by William W.

Service-learning is an important part of student life on campus, allowing students to become actively engaged in our local community and beyond. Through a variety of fundraising and service initiatives this year, our students have demonstrated a genuine commitment to helping others.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a sampling of the student-led fundraisers that have taken place on campus over the past several months:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTackle Brain Cancer\u201d Football Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On October 27, 2021, players, coaches, parents, friends, and fans from Trinity-Pawling and Avon Old Farms rallied together to raise money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The special game was held in honor of Matt Dooley \u201923, a beloved member of the Trinity-Pawling family. Led by members of the varsity football team, all proceeds from the game were donated to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation in Matt\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National Honor Society \u201cMovember\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last fall, students in the National Honor Society (NHS) rallied support from the School community for their annual \u201cMovember\u201d fundraiser. Participants in \u201cMovember\u201d made a donation to grow facial hair for the month of November, in order to raise awareness of men&#8217;s mental health issues. The NHS raised nearly $300 in total.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wintersession Cake Auction <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the end of Wintersession in December 2021, as part of the final challenge for The Great Trinity-Pawling Bake-Off Winter Project, students hosted an on-campus cake auction and raised $1,810 for brain cancer research. The delicious array of baked goods was provided by a number of student bakers, faculty members, faculty children, and Pride Parents. After a rousing round of bidding back and forth, the lucky auction winners included 21 students, two faculty members, one faculty child, and one parent. It was an exciting evening on campus raising money for a cause close to our hearts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halt ALS Hockey Game <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On February 19, 2022, the Trinity-Pawling community joined forces with Halt ALS and Hotchkiss School for a charity hockey game. Organized by senior varsity captain Tyler Fogu \u201922 for his Senior Independent Project, this special game was hosted in Tirrell Rink in honor and support of alumnus Chris Tschupp \u201990, who is currently battling ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). All proceeds from the event&#8217;s concession stand sales, raffle, and auction of various athletic items, including one-of-a-kind Trinity-Pawling hockey jerseys, benefited Tschupp\u2019s Halt ALS organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National Honor Society \u201cPie in the Face\u201d Fundraiser<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In February, the National Honor Society held its annual \u201cPie in the Face\u201d fundraiser in Scully Hall. In the week leading up to the event, students and faculty purchased tickets to determine who would be the lucky pie throwers and the not-so-lucky receivers of the pie in their face. Nearly $900 were raised and donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a global leader in the fight against cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pawling Resource Center<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the school year, Trinity-Pawling students and members of the National Honor Society have worked closely with the Pawling Resource Center \u2014 an important non-profit organization in our local community. Students helped deliver items to their food pantry and volunteered their time at the Center\u2019s annual Walkathon fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relay for Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year, students in the Relay for Life Club raised over $2,000 for the American Cancer Society, and nearly 230 luminarias were created by the School community to honor and remember those lives that have been touched by cancer. On April 21, 2022, students and faculty gathered in All Saints\u2019 Chapel for a beautiful luminaria service, in which students in the Relay for Life Club read the luminaria names aloud and sounded a bell for each person. The service was a meaningful end to an important day on campus, as the community honored and celebrated the life and legacy of Matt Dooley &#8217;23. Members of the Relay for Life Club named April 21 as the annual date for the luminaria service on campus as a tribute to Matt, whose birthday was April 21.<\/p>\n<p>We extend a heartfelt thank you to all students who have organized and participated in fundraising events this school year. Your compassion, generosity, and dedication to helping others continue to make this world a better place.<\/p>\n<p><em>by Emma Christiantelli<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">STUDENT-LED FUNDRAISING ON CAMPUS<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-4527\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2022 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-4527 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2022\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Institutes_Quad-copy.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling students working on the Institutes for Environmental Stewardship\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Institutes_Quad-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Institutes_Quad-copy-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=4527\" rel=\"bookmark\">INSTITUTES FOR ACTIVE LEARNING ROUNDUP<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>In addition to the warm weather, softball games on the quad, and exciting milestones like Stepping Up and Commencement, the Spring Term at Trinity-Pawling also brings with it a sense of reflection and reminiscence. With another school year winding down, we have a chance to look back on the past several months and celebrate the many accomplishments of our school community. Accomplishments like the Institutes for Active Learning \u2014 Trinity-Pawling\u2019s signature experiential learning program \u2014 which is nearing the finish line of its inaugural year.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the 2021-2022 school year and during each week\u2019s Saturday Programming, students participated in exciting and challenging learning experiences from one of the four Institutes for Active Learning: Leadership, Citizenship, Entrepreneurship, and Environmental Stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the year, seniors chose which institute they wished to explore and were paired with faculty leaders. Each group was then assigned a specific Saturday in the Fall Term, Winter Term, and Spring Term for which their Institute organized engaging and hands-on activities. It has certainly been a year full of active, out-of-your-seat learning and real-world applications, as illustrated in these Institute snapshots:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Environmental Stewardship Institute hosted an array of educational outdoor activities this year, including hikes that taught about orienteering and fire-starting; a campus-wide environmental clean-up; planting an orchard and blueberry bushes; building a compost bin; constructing bee hives for the new honey bees on the campus farm; and screening and discussing environmental documentaries on various topics, from climate change and plant-based diets for athletes, to plastics and coral reef health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CITIZENSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Citizenship Institute held a Global Citizenship Campus Tour in the fall, where students visited 11 different cultural stations to learn about global culture, food, customs, architecture, and history. Between West African drumming, jerk chicken on the quad, and Thai shadow play, the morning felt like a tour around the world! The Institute also led a series of small group workshops in which students defined the many different aspects of citizenship, exploring what citizenship means to them, and how good citizenship impacts life at Trinity-Pawling and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEADERSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Leadership Institute organized a series of critical thinking challenges and exercises for students to learn the skills needed to be an effective leader. Students experimented with different styles and types of leadership; participated in character-building workshops with a guest speaker; and explored the many qualities of a good leader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENTREPRENEURSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Entrepreneurship Institute led a variety of team-building and problem-solving activities throughout the year \u2014 each one encouraging the students to think critically, work together, communicate with one another, and persevere in the face of challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The Institutes for Active Learning are strategically designed to develop problem-solving skills, promote interdisciplinary exploration, and provide engaging opportunities for teamwork, camaraderie, and the discovery of talents and passions. With the end of this school year quickly approaching, we look back with gratitude on a successful year of experiential learning while also looking eagerly ahead as Trinity-Pawling continues to blaze a new path for the future of boys\u2019 education.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Institutes for Active Learning, please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinitypawling.org\/academics\/institutes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> or view the Pride Perspectives <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/18LTXavEEE4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">webinar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>by Emma Christiantelli<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN ACTION<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-4539\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2022 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-4539 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2022\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/TrinityPawlingCrest_300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling crest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/TrinityPawlingCrest_300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/TrinityPawlingCrest_300x300-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=4539\" rel=\"bookmark\">SENIOR INDEPENDENT PROJECT MENTORS<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>As members of the Class of 2022 set their sights on Commencement on May 28, 2022, several seniors are pursuing a Diploma with Distinction. The Diploma with Distinction is awarded to students who choose to expand the scope of their Senior Independent Project (SIP), which includes working alongside an alumni mentor who is an expert in the student\u2019s chosen field of study.<\/p>\n<p>Pairing current students with Trinity-Pawling alumni creates an opportunity to foster brotherhood beyond the students&#8217; immediate experience with their classmates. It presents an early opportunity to show our students the value of professional networking and the importance of giving back as they transition from being high school students to members of the School&#8217;s Alumni Association. Also, importantly, it exposes them to leaders in their industry who are eager to share a wealth of experience and knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Clarke is an editor at The Washington Post and a 1992 graduate of Trinity-Pawling. This spring, Dave is working with Francisco Bendezu \u201922 as a mentor for Francisco\u2019s SIP in journalism. Bendezu is the editor of the Trinity-Pawling student newspaper, <em>The Phoenix<\/em>. He is particularly interested in the nuances of interviewing subjects for news stories. He and Clarke are taking an in-depth look at the art and science of interrogative questioning. It is a craft that transcends work in journalism and is likely to serve Bendezu well when he matriculates at Princeton University in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>George Dilworth is a Director of Finance at Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta. He graduated from Trinity-Pawling in 1984 and has been paired as a mentor this spring with Christopher Pellitteri \u201922 from Holbrook, Massachusetts. For his SIP and Diploma with Distinction, Pellitteri is designing a business model for a modern healthcare system. He will surely benefit from Dilworth\u2019s 24 years of experience working within a system that owns two hospitals, manages a third, and employs 11,000 physicians and other medical professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The Diploma with Distinction awards students who are self-directed and ambitious. In many cases, students take their projects from conception to design and execution. Once the work is completed, students will present their final product to a panel of faculty members and to an external SIP committee comprised of alumni. Ultimately, projects are shared with the entire School community.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinitypawling.org\/academics\/practicum-for-civic-leadership\/senior-independent-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senior Independent Projects<\/a> exemplify Trinity-Pawling\u2019s commitment to a vigorous and engaging educational experience, a hallmark of the School\u2019s newly adopted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trinitypawling.org\/our-school\/strategic-vision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strategic Vision<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>by John Newman<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">DAVE CLARKE \u201992 AND GEORGE DILWORTH \u201984<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-4543\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2022 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-4543 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2022\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Kirkaldy_Quad_4-5-21Tpaw64017.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling Head Lacrosse Coach Andrew Kirkaldy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Kirkaldy_Quad_4-5-21Tpaw64017.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Kirkaldy_Quad_4-5-21Tpaw64017-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=4543\" rel=\"bookmark\">FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: ANDREW KIRKALDY<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <p>Trinity-Pawling&#8217;s Varsity Lacrosse Coach and Associate Director of Admissions, Andrew Kirkaldy, has been named Head Coach of USA\u2019s Under 18 Indoor Lacrosse team!<\/p>\n<p>But Kirkaldy isn\u2019t leaving Trinity-Pawling nor losing sight of a Founders League championship title. Rather, this prestigious appointment will commence after our current Trinity-Pawling lacrosse season. Come summer, the selective Under 18 team, under Kirkaldy\u2019s leadership, will be vying for the International Indoor Junior Lacrosse (IIJL) Under 18 World Championship title. \u201cI\u2019m excited. It\u2019s not every day you get picked to coach at a national level,\u201d Kirkaldy said, \u201cwhen asked, I said yes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirkaldy has reason to be excited. He grew up in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, where it is common for hockey players to play box lacrosse in the summer when the ice isn\u2019t down in the rink. Kirkaldy quickly found a love for the rink without ice, and box lacrosse became his primary office. He thrived \u2014 eventually representing the Province of Alberta in the Minto Cup, box lacrosse\u2019s holy grail. He then went on to play professionally for the Nanaimo Timbermen. He knows his box lacrosse \u2014 that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>When Kirkaldy moved to the United States to play at the college level, he developed an equal love and fascination for field lacrosse, and he quickly adapted his deft stick skills and shot to the more open game. Now, as a veteran coach with versatility and an abundance of knowledge in both styles of lacrosse \u2014 the Canadian will coach the United States towards a global title. \u201cYou know, there\u2019s a deep sense of respect for the Canadian teams and the Iroquois Nationals. But with that respect comes opportunity \u2014 why can\u2019t we take them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirkaldy is going to give it his best shot to win, and he\u2019s excited to assemble a team that can contend. \u201cHow do we make it work?\u201d he churned through his coaching mind. \u201cGet the small details down. Teach the game. How does the ball spin off the boards? How does the ball move on a second bounce? Getting in the reps. That\u2019s the key \u2014 and ball movement too. When you have six guys moving together, there\u2019s nothing prettier to see. It\u2019s poetry in motion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirkaldy will oversee tryouts in May and August, and the tournament format unfolds from October 9-11, 2022, in Buffalo, NY, where there will be teams from around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Kirkaldy\u2019s passion for box lacrosse coupled with his incredible knowledge of field lacrosse provides the perfect recipe for a victory at the international level. \u201cWe\u2019ll be playing in a different way. That\u2019s the fun part,\u201d Kirkaldy said proudly.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, though, Coach Kirkaldy&#8217;s primary focus is on the current season at Trinity-Pawling. \u201cWe\u2019ve got a very talented team here. I like the closeness of this group, and they\u2019ve proven to themselves that they are resilient. My task is to pull that resiliency out of them. It\u2019s fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Good luck on all fronts, Coach Kirks!<\/p>\n<p><em>by The Reverend Daniel Lennox<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">HEAD COACH OF USA&#8217;S UNDER 18 INDOOR LACROSSE<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-4549\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2022 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-4549 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2022\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trinity-Pawling_WashingtonDC_Quad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Washington, D.C.

The Pride played a game against rival Avon Old Farms at Dunkin Donuts Field in Hartford, CT on a Friday night in early April, but the pitching struggled to keep their opponents off the board early. The Pride has dropped two games in a row since their win against Hotchkiss, currently standing at 3-4 in the Founders League this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lacrosse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Pride has raced off to a 5-3 start against stiff competition in one of the country\u2019s most competitive high school leagues. Offensively, the team has struggled to stay consistent at times with goal-scoring sprees followed by very quiet quarters. Yet the outlook is bright, as playmakers abound in the Blue and Gold. The dodging abilities of midfielder Kasey Mongillo \u201924\u00a0 and shooting skills of Tucker Kellogg \u201923 have helped them lead the way as scorers, with attackmen Jake Likes \u201922, Brayden Lahey \u201924, Michael Provenza\u2019 23, and James Jacob \u201922 not far behind. Lahey has been especially vital as the offensive glue with his unselfish play. Casey Sodolski \u201923 has been a lockdown defender thus far, anchoring a defense that has stifled many opposing playmakers. The physical play of Connor Huguenard \u201924\u00a0 paired with the havoc created by Adam Franasiak \u201922 has allowed goalie Landon Whitney \u201923 excellent sightlines and a hot start to the season. Specialty playmakers Andrew Tilton \u201924 (faceoff), and Colin Davis \u201923 (LSM) have proven themselves integral to the team\u2019s success in the early going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tennis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The varsity tennis team has struggled to notch wins in overall contests, but head-to-head doubles performances have brought light to a tough early season for the Pride. Raphael Denis \u201923 and Kento Maeda \u201923 have teamed up to bring their French-Canadian and Japanese style together on the court. The duo had victories against Canterbury and Millbrook, and played with an exciting love for the game. In singles, Leo Liu \u201923 stood out with a 6-0, 3-6, 10-8 victory on the tiebreaker against his Avon Old Farms opponent last week, and took down his Millbrook matchup in early April as well. The team hopes to build on some early successes and work their way to a team win in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Track and Field<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last Saturday, Trinity-Pawling defeated Canterbury in a thrilling relay meet. Cristobal Tola \u201923 stood out on the final 400m leg of the sprint medley in 54.3 seconds. Jackson Williams \u201925 also had a spectacular day, competing in 3 of 5 events and finishing with a 65.2 for the final leg of the 4x400m. That winning team included Bryan Lee \u201923, Cole Enslen \u201922, Michael Pellitteri \u201922, and Jackson Williams \u201925. The 4x100m team of Luke Daly \u201922, Enslen, Farhaan Rashid \u201923, and Tola ran a 46.53 to win the opening event on the day. Other excellent performances came from Shun Shiraishi \u201923 in the 4x800m and Daly in the 4x200m. On the previous Saturday, Trinity-Pawling traveled to Westminster School. While the team came in third on the day, there were some outstanding individual performances from Garrett Backus \u201922, who won the 100m and 200m, Rahtrel Perry \u201922 who won the discus and shot put, AJ Robinson \u201922 who won the long jump with a 21\u20193\u2019\u2019 leap, Marcus Duell \u201922 winning the triple jump, and Cole Enslen taking first in the javelin. Additionally, Daly won the 110 HH and DeAndre Williams \u201923 took first in the 400m. On Wednesday, the team traveled to Taft School, and while the team finished 3rd, there were some outstanding individual performances. Perry won the shot put, and came second in the discus, while Robinson won the long jump, Backus took the 100m, and Robbie Accomando \u201922 won the 800m race.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the many athletes who have had success thus far!<\/p>\n<p>Roll Pride!<\/p>\n<p><em>by Cyrus Rothwell-Ferraris<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-summary -->\n      <div class=\"subtitle\">ROLL PRIDE!<\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-content -->\n  <\/div><!-- .wc-shortcodes-post-border -->\n<\/div><!-- #post -->\n<!-- Post -->\n<div id=\"post-4551\" class=\"wc-shortcodes-filter-april-2022 wc-shortcodes-post-box post-4551 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-april-2022\">\n  <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-border\">\n          <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-thumbnail\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unlocking-gifts-graphic-quad-2-copy.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"Trinity-Pawling Giving Day\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unlocking-gifts-graphic-quad-2-copy.jpg 600w, https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/unlocking-gifts-graphic-quad-2-copy-512x341.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>      <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-post-content\">\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-header\">\n          <h2 class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/trinitypawlingthequad.org\/?p=4551\" rel=\"bookmark\">TRINITY-PAWLING GIVING DAY<\/a>\n          <\/h2>\n\n          <div class=\"readmore\">\n            <span class=\"leermas\"><a href=\"#\">Read More<\/a> &raquo;<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div><!-- .entry-header -->\n              <div class=\"wc-shortcodes-entry-content\">\n          <div>\n<p><strong>We have BIG NEWS for our upcoming Giving Day on May 3, 2022!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Current and former members of Trinity-Pawling\u2019s Board of Trustees have generously provided <strong>$200,000<\/strong>\u00a0in matching funds as an \u201cUnlocking Gifts\u201d Giving Day Trustee Challenge!
