The varsity football team had a tough start to the season losing their first two games by less than a touchdown. They faced another tough opponent in Taft during Homecoming week while battling through injuries to start the season 0-3. However, the Pride had their first win in a home game against Kent on Parents’ Weekend with Braden Root \u201923 finding the end zone twice. Kyle West \u201923 has taken over at quarterback and has done a wonderful job. More tough competition lies ahead in Loomis Chaffee and Avon Old Farms, but the boys continue to work hard and fight every week.<\/p>\n
Soccer had a hot start to the year jumping out to 2-0 and is having one of its best seasons in recent history. Goal scoring has come from Gabe Auringer \u201924 and Salvatore Zani \u201924, while Maddox Rivera \u201924 continues to be strong in net. After starting 2-0, they faced a run of good teams in Taft, Hotchkiss, and Avon Old Farms. Though the boys played well, they were unable to come out victorious. They took down Kent in their latest battle and look forward to finishing the season strong!<\/p>\n
The mountain biking team is having an impressive season so far. They have medaled in all their races and in most classes as well. Alex Kozin \u201923 continues to shine for the Pride with top finishes in the A class as well as a first-place finish at South Kent. At the Pride’s first home race, the boys had a great showing with Kozin coming in second in the A class and Hayden Desmond \u201923 finishing third in the B class. There were also three podiums in the C class with Sam Head \u201924 placing first, Luke Macanka \u201924 finishing second, and Emilio Paez \u201926 in third.<\/p>\n
Though the season isn\u2019t filled with victories, the Trinity-Pawling cross country team has included some young runners this year with 8th graders Oliver Denaro and Jack Fries running in the top 5 in the most recent race at Loomis Chaffee, a very impressive feat. Veterans Harry Clark \u201924 and Tyler Olsen \u201924 are having impressive seasons as well, finishing in the top 5 in some races. Some highlights for the Pride were at Berkshire, when Clark finished second and Olsen finished third. Fries also came in ninth place at that race, and at the most recent race at Loomis Chaffee, he was the third man while Denaro ran as the fifth.<\/p>\n
