For most students, the end of a sports season means more time off. For some of Milton’s athletes, however, the end means something different. From early-morning football training to pickup basketball games in the ACC, many Milton student-athletes treat the off-season not as a break but as an opportunity—a chance to improve game mechanics, fitness, and team chemistry, all of which will define the teams’ success upon their return.
The golf team has emerged as one of the most cohesive and dominant forces of this spring sports season, starting the season with a 4-0-1 record. The team is optimistic for the rest of the season, which many hope will end undefeated. JaeYoung Moon ’29 describes their group of only 12 players: “We're not very menacing-looking, but we're a very strong team.”
The wrestling team vaulted from “eleventh in the league last year to fifth in the league this year,” noted captain Lukas Caggiano ‘26. How did this team jump six places in a year? According to another team member, Toby Heikka ‘28, a major improvement for the team has been “recruiting more people.” Heikka explained that with more variety in practice partners, “you can grow in different ways, and that's been key.” Jeremiah Mathis ‘26 cited “strong fundamentals and consistent practice” as a vital part of their growth, allowing the team to build up significant momentum this year.
On November 8th, the Boys’ and Girls’ Cross Country teams traveled to the Taft School to compete in the New England Preparatory School Track Association Cross Country Championships. Runners from prep schools across New England traveled to Watertown, Connecticut to run the 5-kilometer course in the final race of the season. Alex Signorovich ‘29, who finished first out of all Milton runners and 28th overall out of the 96 reported varsity runners, “did incredibly well,” according to teammate Hudson Tulman ’29, posting a time of 17:50 and earning “an ISL all-school shout-out from the coaches committee.” With Signorovitch achieving this feat as a freshman, the team, says Tulman, has “high hopes for the rest of his career for the next 3 years to come.”
