Spring sports at the Upper School are in full pre-season mode. 

Mother Nature up to this point has cooperated somewhat with our student-athletes being able to enjoy training outside.  Some of our winter athletes are still competing after some great individual and team performances at the District XI Swimming and Diving Championships. 

Here is a recap:

Swimmers took home some medals, advancing to States, and had some personal best swims. A big congratulations goes to our boys’ swim team who took home silver medals with a second-place team finish.  We also have two new Moravian team records:

Nicholas Ritter - Boys 100 Backstroke 52.65 on 3/5/22

Boys 200 Medley Relay 1:43.85 with Nicholas Ritter, Jack Lu, Nic Murgia, and Aidan Rodrigues on 3/4/22

Congratulations to all of the swimmers!  Thank you and congrats to Coach Danaher and Coach Bochini on a great season!

Our varsity girls’ basketball team’s season came to an end in the District XI tournament semi-final round.  The girls traveled to Martz Hall in Pottsville to play vs the #1 seed, Tri Valley.  The Team finished the season with a 9-13 record. The future looks promising as they will return the entire group next season.  

Our varsity boys’ basketball team unfortunately did not qualify for post-season play.  The boys finished the year with a 7-15 record.  With a strong core of players coming back and some talented underclassmen, the team will utilize this off-season to continue to develop.

As we head into spring break, next week, note that our teams will continue to prepare for their first competitions the week of March 21. Please continue to log on to moravianathletics.org to access practice and game schedules.

Go Lions!
