Mike Romeo, Athletic Director, announced the Middle School Athletes of the Week at Wednesday’s divisional meeting. Congratulations to cross country runner Deanna Nicholls ’27 and tennis player Alyssa Ji ’27.
Deanna is brand new to the sport of distance running having come over from the soccer squad. She quickly adapted to her new sport and became a solid teammate of the traditionally successful program. Last Wednesday against visiting Sayreville, the team quickly fell behind but then Deanna led a parade of nine LA girls across the finish line to secure a close five-point win for their fifth victory of the season.
Alyssa has done a great job all season long. She consistently gives 100% in practice and matches. This season she climbed the ladder match four positions to the fifth spot on the roster. She enjoys playing the game and always wants to win with a great attitude.
