Boys’ Fencing Captain Steven Miall (I): “I’m looking forward to my final year as a Boston Latin School fencer and captain; it’s really bittersweet but I know the team will be in good hands. We have a ton of young fencers that love and enjoy the sport of fencing and will continue the dominant legacy of BLS fencing. Last year ended not in the way we wanted especially after winning states the year before that. We’re looking to get our mens’ team back on track and working to win this year. Sumus primi!”

Boys’ Basketball Captain Jackson Prinn (I): “I think that over the summer and over the fall, our team has built such great chemistry. We have even more depth this year; playing a summer and fall league. We’ve just grown to be more of a team. I am super excited for what we can bring and hope to make a run in the [state] tournament again.”

Cheer Captain Ashley Beard (I): “We are looking forward to the winter season approaching so quickly. The team shows up to each practice ready to work and get stuff done. Everyone is committed and strives to get better, and I know this will continue in the winter. Watching the growth of so many athletes over this season has been so rewarding and inspiring, and I can’t wait to see what our program accomplishes.”

Girls’ Hockey Captain Ava Enright (I): “This season we’re moving up from the Dual County League [DCL] small to the highly competitive DCL large. We are excited for the tougher competition, as it will challenge us and ideally put us in a stronger position heading into the state tournament.”

Boys’ Swim Captain Cal Hale (I): “The team is very excited for the season and looking to win a lot this year. As a senior, I am looking forward to winning states and hopefully building up a strong team for the future. The seniors are very excited for our last year and we will help build the team for the future. Hopefully in the process, we can also win a lot.”

Boys’ Track & Field Captain Bilal Elhaji (I): “We have some big goals for the upcoming indoor season. We’ve won the conference championship for a few years in a row now, but we’re looking for something a little bigger this year and everyone’s excited for it.”

Girls’ Fencing Captain Celena Nguyen (II): “I am excited because I get to play the sport I love with the people I love. We’ve been practicing since October, ready to win as state champions this year. Our saber, epee and foil squad are very determined to perform well.”

Girls’ Basketball Captain Ellie Ring (I): “We have been preparing for the season with captains’ practices over the past couple of weeks, and the girls in our program have been working hard to get ready for tryouts. It has been awesome to see the work everyone has been putting in throughout the off-season, and we are optimistic about what our team will accomplish this season.”

Boys’ Hockey Captain Shane Dunning (I): “I am excited for this year’s hockey season because it is my last year with the Boston Latin School program, and I have made a lot of memories with my teammates over the years. I am excited to see what we can do on the ice this season after a big win last year.”

Wrestling Captain Jonah Roy (I): “I think our lineup is going to be great. Our team is pretty dedicated and I’ve seen a lot of kids doing off season. I think it will be fun to captain the younger members and show them what wrestling is about, since the sport has taught me a lot. Coach Gibbons always tells us to “have fun, be great,” so that’s what we plan on doing.”
