Despite so much uncertainty throughout the year, the boys suited up each day to maintain their strong commitment to athletics. Practicing in-season sports while staying in the gym late to get reps in an off-season sport proved that the Trinity-Pawling athlete is willing to do what it takes to stay prepared. The canceled fall season gave way to more certainty during the winter, allowing basketball, squash, and hockey to compete in some interscholastic events. By the spring, the structure was in place for the boys to play almost a full slate of games throughout the season, and all of the teams showed how hard they had worked in the off-season. The 2021 Weeman Athletic Award recognized Stuart Phillips \u201921 at graduation for his impact as an athlete and a leader for the past three years.<\/p>\n
Baseball<\/strong><\/p>\n The varsity baseball team finished a strong spring with an 11-6 record. The boys were lucky to have no rainouts and to play almost as many games as they would have any other season. With a contest at Dunkin\u2019 Donuts Park in Hartford, CT, and numerous walk-off wins, the excitement came to bat every game! Congratulations to the seniors for a strong year, and good luck to Brendan Tierney \u201921 at West Point, Chase Swain \u201921 at Pace University, Nick Sottolano \u201921 at Misericordia, Connor Haywood\u201921 at Fordham, Jon Link \u201921 at Trinity, and Dean Simeone \u201921 as he pursues junior hockey.<\/p>\n Lacrosse<\/strong><\/p>\n The varsity lacrosse team ended the season with an 8-6 record. A pair of excellent goalies kept the Pride in almost every game, and the returning class will look to build on the success of this year. An extensive and impressive list of matriculation to play lacrosse at the next level follows: Stuart Phillips \u201921 at Johns Hopkins, Matthew Bologna \u201921 at Quinnipiac, Peter Claro \u201921 at Cornell, Chris Pateman \u201921 at Western Connecticut State, Carson Block \u201921 at Belmont Abbey, Tobias Berner \u201921 at Haverford, Declan Mitchell \u201921 at Stony Brook, Tyler Gatz \u201921 at UC Boulder, Brandon Ventarola \u201921 at Dartmouth, Lucas Brennwald \u201921 at RIT, Tyler Lahey \u201921 at Lehigh, Michael Mcknelly \u201921 at Marist (walk-on), and JJ Ford \u201921 at Connecticut College.<\/p>\n Tennis<\/strong><\/p>\n The Pride had a tough season behind the strong play of number one Eric Gao \u201922. The young team will look to build on their success with up and coming stars Tony Gao \u201922 and Leo Liu \u201924 looking to make an impact in the future. Thank you to Coach Clougher for his commitment to the program and the community.<\/p>\n Track and Field<\/strong><\/p>\n The track and field team finished a successful slate of meets this spring, both at Trinity-Pawling and on the road. Garrett Backus \u201923 impressed as one of the fastest 100-meter sprinters in New England, and seniors Jimmy Nolan and Sam Renaud (Sam will continue his running career at SUNY College at Potsdam), led the way as strong distance runners.<\/p>\n A final thanks to Athletic Director Brian Foster \u201979 for his flexibility in scheduling, Headmaster Taylor for working with the entire boarding school coalition to make athletics possible this year, and Glenn Carey for orchestrating behind the scenes to keep us all safe.<\/p>\n Congratulations to all!<\/p>\n by Cyrus Rothwell-Ferraris<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Despite so much uncertainty throughout the year, the boys suited up each day to maintain their strong commitment to athletics.
