Season Recap: Middle School Cross Country

The ISI JV and Varsity Volleyball summer practices began with a limited number of front row players, no setters, and numerous defensive specialists. The team ended the season with a sectional championship for the second time in school history.

This season, the Varsity Cross Country Team set out with clear goals: build unity, deepen team participation, and support every athlete in achieving their personal best through hard work and team spirit. The season brought its challenges, from managing rapid roster growth to ensuring every runner felt seen and motivated, all while maintaining high standards for commitment and performance.

The Grade 7 and 8 Volleyball Team began the season with a wide range of experience, from players with club backgrounds to those stepping onto the court for the first time. From the start, the team focused on developing consistency in serving and passing, learning new offensive and defensive systems, and strengthening communication and mental resiliency.

The Class of 2026 is fully immersed in the college application process, and we’re thrilled to celebrate their achievements with another #AdmitMonday! To date, our seniors have been awarded an impressive $1,112,500 merit-based scholarships—averaging over $44,500 per student. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 on this incredible milestone!
