Mike Romeo, Athletic Director, announced the Upper School Athlete of the Week. Congratulations to cross country runner Anjali Shankar ’26.
Anjali is now in her second year as an Upper School cross country runner. She suffered an injury a month ago while members of the team were just getting to know each other. Relegated to a rehab program in the training room, Anjali was determined to get healthy and return to the roster to help her new teammates on the girls’ squad. Last Saturday was her first race of the season and not much was expected since she had missed a month of practices. But it was an amazing sight as Anjali came up the fire tower hill at Thompson Park ahead of her career personal best pace. She crossed the line in 29:37, which reduced her PB by almost three minutes.
