The squash team is currently in the midst of an
exciting season and hopes to carry this energy into the remainder of the season
and ultimately Nationals in February. “So far the team has performed admirably, and we are
consistently winning matches which is what we’re looking for. We have a few
more matches against private schools coming up, and most importantly, Nationals
is on the 1st weekend of February,” senior captain Kincade Webster said. Webster
is confident in the team’s performance and talent as they have, for the most
part, been excelling in competitions.
As the team’s schedule begins to get
tougher with upcoming matches against Rye High School, Choate and other top
teams at various jamborees, the Darien Squash Team is driven to maintain its
high standing and level of recognition. “The goal for this season has always
remained the same - perform well at Nationals. It’s the biggest tournament of
the year and whether or not we play well and place well determines if we get
invites to private school matches later this year and next year. We are looking
to train hard in preparation, and make an impact at Nationals,” Webster said.
The squash team will be tested at the
National High School squash tournament held at the Yale Brady Squash courts and
various other premiere squash venues throughout Connecticut. This competition
is annually the largest squash tournament in the world. The team hopes to maintain
its ranking from last year’s season and remain the #1 public high school in the
nation for squash.
