Last week both Middle School and Upper School athletic teams began participating in end-of-season tournaments. Middle School girls soccer won the Metro10 championship on Friday (Congratulations, Pack!!), and varsity track competed in the sectional meet on Saturday. Varsity lacrosse finished their season last week with a well-fought game against Fellowship in the Gannon Cup tournament. The week also brought an end to a great season for our varsity girls soccer team, while Middle School golf finished with girls claiming second in the Metro10 championship. You can find recaps from these events and more below.
This week, varsity girls tennis competes in their second round state playoff match at Athens Academy, while the boys soccer team proceeds to the second round of the state playoffs, which will occur Wednesday at WolfPack Stadium! Varsity boys golf will participate in the qualifying tournament today to learn of their placement in the upcoming state tournament. Click here for our full athletic schedule for this week!
This week we’re also looking forward to celebrating the seniors that will be continuing on to compete in athletics following their graduation from Whitefield. Signing Day is this Thursday, and we’ll be honoring the accomplishments and plans of seven members of the Class of 2018. Plan to join us at 9 a.m. in the Athletic Center to cheer on these members of the WolfPack!
Go Pack!
