Moran Boys Soccer: Bob Howe Girls Volleyball: Bob Howe Closing Remarks: Bob Howe LOOMIS CHAFFEE BOYS WATER POLO 2010 TEAM HISTORY Water Polo at Loomis Chaffee dates back to the late-70's when Coach Bob Hartman created one of the first high school programs in New England. This co-ed team eventually split into girls and boys varsity programs in the mid -90's with both teams having consistent success in their respective leagues. The Pelican's won the New England Prep School Championship Tournament in 1994 and 1996, finished second in 1999, 2002, and 2003 and third in 2001. 2010 STATISTICS Overall Record: 6-10 Goals – A. Wright 40, R. Carroll 28, W. DeLaMater 19 Assists – A. Wright 33, W. DeLaMater 28, S. Broda 12 Steals – A.Wright 55, S. Broda 37, W. DeLaMater 34 2010 SEASON Coming off of a 2009 campaign that ended with at 1-15 record, the Pelicans had reason to be optimistic for a more competitive 2010 season. Key returning players from last year’s team, juniors Addison Wright and Sam Broda along with captain Rob Carroll and a large group of seniors including Will DeLaMater, Dan Kang, Nick Fainlight and Kyle Ruddock formed the nucleus for the varsity. In an early season scrimmage against Williston the team played quite well, and while games in the opening weeks of the regular season led to a 0- 5 record (losses to Andover, Deerfield, Choate, Suffield and Greenwich High), the team was competitive and the quality of the water polo was noticeably improving. Back to back victories over Hopkins and Williston broke the ice for the Pelicans, and while the boys struggled to play a cohesive game against Exeter, the team rallied with three straight wins over Hopkins, Canterbury and Brunswick. In the Brunswick contest, the Pelicans discovered a higher level of play then they had achieved in years. A disappointing loss at Suffield on Parent’s Weekend was followed by a very well played and competitive defeat at the hands of #1 ranked Deerfield, these games set the stage for a showdown with Hotchkiss where the Pelicans needed a win to preserve the chance for a birth in the post season. In a tightly contested duel with the Bearcats, Loomis twice rallied from four goals down to narrow the margin to one, but were unable to force the game into overtime. Final score: Hotchkiss 13 - Loomis 12. Without standout rookie goalie Ryan Shelby in the cage against Choate, the Pelicans took perhaps their worst beating of the season down in Wallingford. But with two more good days of work, goalies Will Bogle ‘12 and Matt Weicker ‘11 ably shut down the Williston Wildcats as the team played their most elegant water polo of the year going 8 for 10 on power plays in route to a 12-9 season ending victory. A huge thanks to Jack Mahoney ’10 for his generous commitment of time and energy working with the boys this fall and for the enthusiasm of the huge class of seniors who worked so diligently to push the program to higher level of competitiveness. Now it’s up to juniors Addison Wright, Sam Broda, Will Bogle, Jake Bosee and Jamil Hashmi to see if they can sustain the momentum and carry the program even further. BOYS VARSITY WATER POLO 2010 CominG off a difficult 1-15 2009 campaiGn, the 2010 season saw the Pelicans return to competitiveness within the prep school polo world. ReturninG sixteen seniors and a number of key starters, the team found its footinG quickly in a stronG openinG Game aGainst Andover and put up a better than expected fiGht aGainst leaGue #2 Choate early in the season. The team’s overall lack of swimminG speed kept it from pushing through to post season play, but convincing wins over Williston, Hopkins and Brunswick alonG with a closely contested loss to Hotchkiss and a competitive Game with leaGue champs Deerfield were indicators of just how far the team proGressed. The numbers speak volumes. The 2010 squad scored twice as many Goals as compared to 2009, while the defense yield 30 % fewer, if those trends can continue next year it should be a very excitinG season down at Hedges Pool. ConGratulations to the team and thank you to all the seniors who made every practice fun and productive. 2010 Awards: Most Improved: Ryan Shelby. After a year of playinG in the field for the JV, Ryan, a sophomore, eaGerly jumped into the caGe durinG preseason and almost immediately found himself a varsity starter. You never would guess that the poised, intelligent, vocal shot blocker was in his rookie season. Ryan averaged 11 saves a Game and had a 53% save percentaGe – he’ll be a force within the league for the next two years. MVP: Addison Wright. In just his second season of water polo, Addison continued his emerGence as one of the most excitinG and determined athletes in the leaGue. His team leadinG, 40 Goals and 33 assists meant he was involved in half of the team’s successful offensive opportunities. Addison was also a fierce competitor on defense where he led the team with 55 steals and often marked the opposinG team’s biGGest threat. We can’t wait to see what he’ll achieve in his senior season. Coaches Award: Rob Carroll. Rob returned this fall ready to compete and contribute. Improved swimminG speed, endurance and confidence enabled Rob to dramatically boost his scorinG production and he was a key contributor on the team’s hiGhly successful power play. As a captain, Rob’s enerGy and commitment fueled the proGram’s improvement. Loomis Chaffee BOYS VARSITY WATER POLO 2010 RESULTS OVERALL RECORD 6 - 10 Date Opponent 9/18 Loomis Chaffee 4 v.

As hard-working, earnest freshmen, Lydia was ranked 18th on the team, and Sarah qualified to run at New EnGlands (only 19 from each school can run) because she had her racinG spikes with her when two of her faster teammates fell ill on race day. ThrouGh hard traininG, diliGent summer preparation, patience, and perseverance, these two young women improved steadily and dramatically. This year they were amonG the four top runners on the team, any of whom could (and did) run No. 1 for the team on any Given day. As a freshman, Lydia's best time on the home course (5 kilometers) was 25:10. This year, she ran 20:09 at home. Sarah's best home time her freshman year was 25:26, and this year she ran 20:35. The fact that both Lydia and Sarah grew into team leaders is not as surprisinG as their huGe drops in race times. Lydia always has been a hard worker and a serious cross country team member. She always has led by example in her preparation; her Gutsy, all-out racing; and her dedication to the team. Sarah, too, has worked hard, set Goals, and strived to reachinG them since her very first day on the team.

This year, the schoolE theme was fi rst alluded to in our puzzling all-school read, The Little Prince. During the fi rst weeks of school, the administration has presented the theme in a narrow sense, raising eyebrows. Is it really that effective to have the junior class do yoga in the quad? Are the talks on de-stressing stressful? Is mindfulness limited to stress relief? Given the emphasis on alleviating the stress we cannot eliminate, it is too easy to dismiss the mantra rather than seriously investing in it.
