Beaver coaches and athletes are back on campus and gearing up for an exciting fall season. The Athletic Department and school community are thrilled to welcome new and returning student-athletes to begin our 2011 fall athletic season. As the teams participate in double-session workouts they are prepared to continue on a path towards athletic excellence.

“There is a buzz surrounding the beginning of the school year and return of the student-athletes this fall. The energy and expectations are at a high level across each of our sports,” said Athletic Director Sherry Levin. “We look forward to seeing our student athletes work hard and do their best.”

Cross Country:
