Waring alums, Nick Wigglesworth (Hobart Soccer) and Aidan Wood (Hamilton Soccer), played an important role in last weekends' games for their respective schools. Nick scored his first goal for the Statesmen, giving the team one of the two goals it needed against Vassar for the 2-1 win. The win lifted Hobart into first place in the Liberty League with two games to be played in the regular season.

Junior Ella Bellin has crossed the finish line as the fastest girl in the MBIL for the first two meets of the 2017 season. She has yet to get into her end of season form, which saw her achieve her personal best of 20:58 last year on the Cambridge School of Weston’s course in Jericho Forest, but she feels good about her latest time of 22:15.

This didn't stop the senior leader from helping his team in other ways to Waring's best team finish in school history. Today's race saw many personal bests, but the most notable was Junior Ella Bellin's time of 21:20. Ella also earned the league's Most Valuable Runner award, another first for Waring Cross Country.

Rounding out the All-Stars were Juniors Sophia Bereaud and Carly Comporato for the girls, while Freshman Will Stomberg represented Waring on the boy's side.

Coach Jack Lindsay’s halftime constructive approach helped to give the boys a boost, after being down 3-1 at the half. With twenty minutes to play in the second half, the scoreline was 3-2. As the game approached the 15 minute mark, the teams exchanged counter attack after counter attack, with Newman going ahead 4-2. Waring jumped back on the scoreboard minutes later with a knock in off a dead ball from center back Mike Ballin. Sascha Denby scored his third goal of the game to make it 4-4 in the waning minutes of the match.

Former Waring Soccer Standouts, Aidan Wood (Hamilton), Nick Wigglesworth (Brandeis), and Kyle Patrick (Hobart) are all settling in nicely with their respective collegiate programs.

Waring Athletics wishes these alums luck as they make their way through the remainder of the season!
