Director of Athletics Mich Canuso-Bedesem, sums up the awesome spring sports season:
This spring was a rainy yet exciting time in Westtown Athletics! All of our spring teams qualified for the Friends Schools League (FSL) playoffs which is a first for Westtown, at least in the last decade. The Oak Lane Athletic Complex hosted games and practices for the first time and our Middle School baseball team had their first season on the new Middle school baseball field.
The girls lacrosse team made the FSL playoffs for the first time since 2006. This is a huge step for the program as they finished just shy of the playoffs the past two seasons. Additionally, senior Sophie Jones broke Westtown’s all time goal’s record scoring 210 goals in her career.
Our baseball team was hit with the injury bat this season but still managed to take a spring break trip to Florida, secure a winning record, and advance to the FSL semi-finals for the eighth year in a row.
We hosted our very first “Under the Lights” game this spring for our boys lacrosse Senior Night game against league rival Shipley. It was a beautiful night and the team played an amazing game and beat the Gators! Boys lacrosse finished 2nd in the FSL losing a heartbreaking game in overtime in the FSL Championship match up with ANC.
Westtown hosted the FSL Track and Field Championships this spring. It was an exciting event and two records were broken. Laila Atkins’27 broke her own school records in the discus and shot put and Charlie Reed ’28 broke the 100m hurdles record. Both went on to win the state championship in their respective events.
Our golf, softball, and tennis teams had solid performances this year and their ranks are filled with young talent eager to make their mark on the FSL in years to come.
We welcomed alums and current players for a Westtown Alums Field hockey event on Alums Day. This event allowed our alums to check out the new field and our current players a chance to play on the turf since it wasn’t completed until after the season. Some alums jumped in to play with our current students while others cheered from the Clubhouse or stands. We even had two board members—Emily Abels and Liz Osterman—come out in support!
Westtown student athletes continue to be amongst the best in the FSL and we took home 23 FSL All League and Honorable Mention recognitions this spring!
