In the aftermath of nationals (2/11/11-2/13/11), the Darien High School varsity squash team voted on its captains for next year’s season. After tallying votes from March (3/19/11), the numbers revealed that captains for next year’s varsity co-ed team will be junior Kincade Webster, sophomore Dominic Hansford, and fellow sophomore Jonathan Gill. Captains for the girl’s squash team will be Jena Fritts, Holly Gordon, and Aastha Narula. Considering the varsity team’s loss of 7 of its top 9 players (on account of them being seniors), the team could be crippled for next season. However, hopes are high for the squash players with their nationally ranked captain Jonathan, who is currently number 7 in his age group of boys from age 15-16; Future captain Kincade remarked, “I'm hoping that with a young team we can still make an impact on nationals.” Next year, the varsity squash season will begin the week after Thanksgiving.
