Athletics Update: Tennis Opens Up at Harvard

John O’Neill, Director of Athletics
March 21, 2025

The tennis program began its season with three days at Harvard’s Murr Center this week. The six indoor courts provided the perfect venue for thirty-four middle school athletes to knock off the rust and showcase their skills. The program is fielding three teams this spring–varsity, junior varsity, and intramural. Varsity head coach Jim Walker was extremely impressed with the depth of talent this year and made note of the improved play of the returning players. Henry Mallet, Vatche Balikian, Julia Popa, and Jack Ward all made the jump from JV to varsity, while Sam Springer, Makenzie Ekechukwu, and Sohan Shah all earned spots on JV after playing intramurals last year. Collectively, the program is in a great spot and primed for success this spring.

  • The boys’ lacrosse team worked to bring rookies Ben Bradshaw, Gael Cruz Marcos, and Des van Wesep up to speed during their full-field practice at Belmont Hill this week.
  • Josie Goldstyn, Fatoumatah Bah, Eden O’Sullivan, Genevieve von Rekowsky, and Lucy Walther earned spots on the highly competitive girls’ varsity lacrosse team this spring. 
  • The girls’ JV lacrosse team will have four sixth graders on the field this spring. Sofia Clark-Quintanilla, Kaia Wentzell, Bianca Yardemian, and Leah Zhang will all be flashing their skills. 
  • Isadora Eiref and Aidan Tan are the lone eighth grade veterans on the track & field team this spring. Newcomers Mika Elsner, Sabine Rooney, and Emily Wang had a great first week.
  • The ultimate program will rely on newcomers Ethan Antipov, Ronan Patel, Stuart Sun, and Penelope Wong to add depth to both the varsity and junior varsity teams. 
  • The mountain biking team took to campus this week to review some biking basics before hitting the trails. First-year riders Dalia Dicrescenzo, Michael Geng, and Elean Lin rode well.
