Isabel Sorkin-Camacho ‘24 – Girls Varsity Squash
Isabel had a breakthrough in her final week of varsity squash this season. She took some important lessons she learned from the NEPSAC tournament and was able to immediately improve her game significantly by adding a quick, hard shot to an already strong ability to lob into the back corners. This unpredictability kept her opponent on her toes on Wednesday, allowing Isabel to dominate the match 11-2, 11-2, 11-1. In the final match of the season, against Pomfret, Isabel showed her team first attitude by playing up a position on the ladder to cover for a teammate. She rose to the challenge and won her first game 13-11. After dropping the next two, Isabel battled back in game four with a decisive 11-6 win to force a deciding game five. Isabel was able to perform so well in a very challenging situation because of her commitment to improving her fundamentals all season. She always comes to practice ready to listen and ready to improve her squash. Only a 9th grader, Isabel has already shown herself to be a vital part of the team and that role is sure to grow even more important in the seasons to come.

Most recently, she scored the Cats’ first goal of the day against Deerfield on Wednesday, as she redirected a pass from Camille Armaganian. Against Winchendon, she tallied another goal off a pass from Monique Lyons. Emily gives her best every day and has focused on being a strong defensive player for her team. Her battles on the wall, great breakout passes and speed down the ice has helped the Wildcats build momentum in each game coming down the final stretch of the regular season. Emily has been a leader on and off the ice, and her teammates and coaches look forward to her continued contributions as they head into the NEPSAC tournament.
Kristen Trembley ’23- Girls Varsity Basketball
Kristen, the lone senior on the girls varsity basketball squad, has led by example all season long. She has brought a level of intensity to both practice and games that the rest of the team has fed off. In the final game of the season, Kristen battled through adversity, coming up with multiple huge defensive plays to help keep it close against the Class A playoff-bound team from Kent. The mental and physical toughness she expressed on Saturday helped seal the deal on the lasting impact she’ll have on the program.

Maya Mallett ‘26-Girls JV Basketball
Over the course of the girls JV basketball season, Maya has improved in all facets of her game. In practice, she is always pushing herself to be better, and has become a consistent threat in the team-favorite drill, “two on the line”. During the Cats’ last game against Porter’s, Maya showed great mental and physical toughness, staying on the court and fighting through adversity to give her team a lift. Additionally, Maya has the kind of positive attitude admired by all. She is always cheering her teammates on from the bench or going over to give them a high five after a free-throw. Her teammates and coaches are better for having Maya on the team!
Tate Cowperthwait ’25 – Boy JV Basketball
Tate has been an important contributor to the boys JV basketball team all season. He practices hard every day, is very coachable, and is constantly encouraging his teammates. In games, he has proven to be an excellent three-point shooter, making 46% of his threes on the season. Tate is also a great passer, looking to distribute the ball and set up his teammates for easy scores. This past week he had good games against Westminster and Kingswood-Oxford, not only hitting threes and distributing the ball but making plays on the defensive end too. His coaches appreciate Tate’s attitude and abilities and look forward to seeing how he continues to progress as a basketball player in the future.
