*New* Presentation for Award Recognition for JV and Varsity Athletes
FALL JV ATHLETES: JV Coaches will hold a recognition meeting at the completion of the season with the players. At this time, all players will be presented with a "Letter" and Presentation by the Coaches. This meeting is mandatory and the final commitment to the season.
FALL VARSITY ATHLETES: The Athletic Awards' Evening is on Tuesday, November 13. The format has been slightly adjusted to provide meaningful time for coaches to speak, present awards, and provide a more intimate environment for the players, coaches, and parents. From 5:30 to 6:50 p.m., players, coaches, and parents will meet in a previously assigned area for dinner (as in the past organized by the team parents). Each player will be presented with his or her varsity letter/plaque, and the coaches will summarize the season in addition to highlighting the athletes. From 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., all varsity teams will move to the Performing Arts Center, where presentations for four-year letter winners, All League and Honorable Mention awards, and the Wildcat and Coaches Awards will take place.

Varsity Cross Country: Despite the major weather disruptions that ended the fall season early, the team still managed to finish on a high note with a very successful final race. Competing at Waveny Park in New Canaan against Holy Child, King, and St. Luke's, both the boys and girls came away with some impressive victories and strong performances. Acacia Dougan again set the pace, not only placing first for the girls' team, but first overall, with a time of 21:33. Rosie Nelson also ran well, placing 9th overall, with Christine Campisi just two runners behind her. On the boys' side, Mathew Crowley again placed first for the team and second overall, and Vlady Rachev ran an excellent race, finishing 5th, while Justin Chun broke the 20-minute barrier. In his first race of the season, co-captain James Pierpont finished 5th for the team. All in all, the boys' team showed much more depth than their opponents, allowing them to come away with two solid wins. The girls, meanwhile, fell to Holy Child, but defeated King and St. Luke’s. It was an encouraging end to a weather-shortened season.
Girls' Varsity Tennis: The team had its last match on October 24, traveling to Gotham Tennis Center in the Bronx to compete against the Fieldston School. The match was excellent, as we enjoyed being able to play under the very tall, very expansive bubble. This protects the courts from rain. The teams played a 2 out of 3 format match. RCDS was proudly represented by Kate Weiss, Summer Kitahara, and Gabby Johnson as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd singles respectively, and our doubles teams were Jessica Grasso/Hannah Needle, Constance Blatt/Izzy Brown, and Daphne Mandell/Hannah Weisman as 1st, 2nd and 3rd, respectively. It was a very exciting match to end the season, and we are very thankful to our hosts, the Fieldston School, for having us on its home-away-from-home courts.
