Friends Runs All Over ACIS

By Jonah Rosenblum (Reporting Done by Max Wilner and Zannie Furman)

On Thursday afternoon, the Friends Seminary track team dominated their championship meet. Racing against Dwight, Berkeley Carroll, Packer, Saint Ann’s, Brooklyn Friends, and UNIS, Friends Seminary’s boys came in second and the girls came in first. The girls’ win was particularly impressive given that Friends brought only six girls to the meet.

Friends was boosted by a slew of impressive individual performances. On the girls side, sophomore phenom Emma Vasta-Kuby won first place in the 100m and 200m race. On the boys side, Wilner won the 100m, and Tyler McCully won the 400m (he ran it in an incredible 51:45). These were just a few of the remarkable individual performances from the Thursday meet.

Next up for the track team is states, which will take place this coming week. But, first we offer our congratulations to coaches Warren Salandy, Pam Boehm, and the entire track team!

Men’s Tennis Clinches League Championship!

Apparently, Quaker education leads to strong athletes.

Friends Seminary’s varsity men’s tennis team had another impressive week, beating Dwight on Tuesday and Packer on Wednesday to put their season record at 8 – 1. The win against Packer clinched the league championship. They had a game scheduled for this afternoon (Thursday), but it was cancelled due to fears of bad weather.

Now, the tennis team eagerly awaits this coming Saturday, the 10th, when the playoffs take place. More to follow, but for now, we congratulate our men’s tennis team on an excellent regular season.
