Squash Travels to U.S. Middle School Championships as Only Maryland Team
Twelve members of Calvert’s co-ed A and B squash team participated in the. U.S. Middle School Squash Championships this past weekend, Jan. 27-29, as the only team to represent Maryland. Hosted at the Arlen Specter Center, the home of U.S. Squash, in Philadelphia, the tournament featured three divisions of competition for the boys and two divisions for the girls, with Calvert’s crew competing in Division II across the board.
“The Calvert squashers certainly rose to the occasion and everyone played amazing squash this weekend,” coaches Susie Silberstein and Patrick Bedore shared. “The boys’ and girls’ teams had some tough competition, but they persevered, making Calvert proud.”
The boys’ team – Howdy C. ’24, James N. ’24, Daniel S. ’25, Tommy Z. ’24, Keating H. ’23, and Grayson B. ’25 – kicked things off with a 3-2 win against Greens Farms Academy on Friday, January 27. Later that afternoon, the girls’ team – Virginia B. ’25, Julianne D. ’23, Alex G. ’24, Caroline N. ’24, Anne R. ’23, and Chloe S. ’24 – suffered a tough 3-2 loss before also taking on Shipley the next morning.
The boys also played Saturday morning, going up against Ohio’s University School, before challenging Shipley at 3:00 P.M., winning that match 3-2 in the second consolation bracket. The boys’ weekend came to its conclusion the next day with an 11:00 A.M. loss against Pennsylvania’s Springside Chestnut Hill Academy on the final day of competition.
Following a 4-1 victory over Friends Central on Saturday, the girls also competed Sunday morning, when they fell to the Baldwin School.
“Both teams made it to day three of nationals,” the coaches shared with parents. “A huge feat! Kudos to the players!”
Calvert School is a coed independent lower and middle school.
