Somersfield Runners Shine at BSSF Middle School Cross Country Championship
Our middle school cross country team put in an outstanding effort at the BSSF Championship at the Arboretum. The U13 girls, led by Evelyn Fahy (3rd) and Elena Bortoli (4th), ran a strong race, while the U13 boys claimed a well-earned bronze medal. The O13 girls showed determination in an unfamiliar sport, and the O13 boys narrowly missed the podium, finishing just 4 points shy. A huge thank you to our supportive parents and coach Vivienne Lochhead!

The 2024 Reid Kempe Memorial Race was a meaningful whole-school event, starting with a reflective memorial walk. Despite the muddy conditions, students demonstrated resilience during the rain delay. Awards were presented at Friday’s assembly, with Shiloh Stevens '31 (20:31) and Evelyn Fahy '31 (21:22) emerging as the overall winners. In the house competition, the Makos triumphed over the Tigers in total points.
