It was an amazing season, and the Flyers were proud of their final results: Class C Southern Regional Championship, Class C State Runner-Up, and recipients of The Sportsmanship Award. It’s also very noteworthy that some girls on the team have won the award 3 seasons in a row: last year’s basketball and lacrosse, and this fall’s soccer team.
Boy’s Soccer
Boy’s Soccer lost on the second round of penalty kicks to the #2 seed Lisbon after playing 110 minutes of scoreless soccer. The boys finish the season at 8-6-2.
Field Hockey
Field had another great season, joining forces with Maine Girl’s Academy (formerly Catherine McAuley). It was very competitive field this year, and the team finished 0-13-1. Captains Kiera MacWhinnie, Semhar Yehdego, and Emma Spies (of MGA) were very proud the effort this season.
Cross Country
Both Boy’s and Girls Cross Country placed 2nd in Class C Regionals, both qualifying for the State Meet in Belfast. St. Dom’s won the girls title and Maine Coast Waldorf took the boys. The Girl’s team has taken 1st or 2nd place for the past ten years; this is the first time since 2010 that the Boy’s placed 2nd.
Boy’s and Girl’s Cross Country both had excellent showings at the State Meet in Belfast, placing third and fourth respectively. It was a very competitive field, with Henry Spritz and Ellie Chidsey leading the field for Waynflete.
