The Varsity Golf Team played their league tournament on Wednesday at Stow Acres.  It was an 18 hole stroke play tournament with all of the schools in the league participating.  It was a challenging day on the course for a lot of the competitors.  John Kalnins ’14 had the lowest round on the team that day shooting an 89, which was second best in his flight.  Tyler DeLuca ’14 won the closest to the pin competition, and was within a few yards of also winning the longest drive competition. The team finishes their season Friday afternoon with a friendly match at home against the faculty.

The Beaver Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams finished up the 2013 season on a high note at the Nepsta Division IV Championships held at Marianapolis Academy. The Boys team finished 10th out of 29 teams as Senior George Wright and Senior Captain Murray Skolnick earned All New England honors placing 2nd and 20th respectively. Beaver only ran 6 runners in the varsity race due to some last minute illness and injuries to Will French, Jackson Wu and Liam Brady. Freshmen Ryan Joy was the second freshmen in the race running a personal best followed by Samuel Glenn who made his return to the team after a month long absense with an injury. Sophomore Niles Cohen and Captain Clayton Starr rounded out the varsity team.
