Cross Country Tackles Tough NEPSTA Course

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.”

Teams Use “Spirit Days” to Build Unity

Throughout the fall sports season, primarily before game days, many teams around campus will coordinate spirit outfits and themes. The Girls’ Varsity Soccer team consistently participates in this ritual before their games. So far this season, some of their spirit days have included “blackout,” “pinkout,” and “cowgirl” themes. According to captain Larissa Rubeiz ‘26, the team “loves spirit days” and always “looks forward to them.” She feels spirit days are a “good way to get hype for our next game,” and that the team plans to try more themes like “USA” and “Risky Business.”
