FOUNDERS LEAGUE 2007 Cross Country Championships at Avon Old Farms School Founders League Cross Country Championships 2007 Hosted by avon old farms school - 500 old farms road - avon, connecticut 06001 Welcome! Dear Coaches and Athletes, Welcome to Avon Old Farms School. It is an honor for us to host this year’s Founders League Cross Country championship meet. The Founders League is one of the premier independent secondary school athletic leagues in the country and we always set the benchmark for excellence in sportsmanship and competition. My sincere best wishes to all of the teams and runners today! Ken LaRocque Headmaster I would like to take this opportunity to welcome spectators and participants to Avon Old Farms School for the 2007 Founders League Cross Country Championships. As much as any athlete in our schools, the Cross Country athlete epitomizes the ideals of sportsmanship, perseverance, and commitment. Day after day, the Cross Country athlete puts everything on the line challenging himself (or herself) and his teammates to be the best they can possibly be. Knowing this, I salute all of the athletes for their tremendous effort and dedication throughout the season and I wish each runner the best of luck today. Brian Doyle Director of Athletics Founders League Cross Country Championships 2007 Hosted by avon old farms school - 500 old farms road - avon, connecticut 06001 Avon Old Farms School A Brief History Avon Old Farms School was founded by Theodate Pope Riddle, Connecticut’s first licensed female architect. Theodate’s imaginitive genius as an architect and her vision and determination to create a school for boys, combined with her personal wealth, made possible the founding of the school in 1927. The original stone and oak architecture is modeled after structures found in the English Cotswold region, and was built by craftsmen using traditional English methods with materials hewn from the school’s property. The school sits upon 1,000 acres of rolling woodland, with the Farmington River to the east and picturesque Beaver Pond laying just a short walk south of the core campus. The center of campus includes a beautiful vista overlooking the Farmington Valley. In the founding years, Avon tried to combine the best of English traditions with a daring, radical, modern curriculum. This provided for difficulties in attracting students, though the school found many successes along with the challenges. The school was forced to close during World War II, when it became a convalescent hospital for blinded Army veterans, but re-opened in 1948; however with no money, no endowment, no students, and no faculty, the institution faced major obstacles. Through the leadership of headmasters of Don Pierport, George Trautman, and Ken LaRocque, in addition to that of countless board members, alumni, parents, and friends of the school, Avon Old Farms stands strong today. The school has grown from 48 boys at its opening in 1927 to a full capacity of 400 boys in grades 9-12 and postgraduates. The campus offers outstanding facilities, including a new student center and athletic field house as well as an NHL-quality arena. The Ordway Science and Technology Center was completed in 2002, and the new Beatson Performing Arts Center opened in March of 2007. As Peter Aron ’65, then Board Chairman, wrote in 2002 on the occasion of the school’s 75th anniversary, “We have filled and overflowed Mrs. Riddle’s original buildings, and have continued to build. By any measure, we are very different today – academically, athletically, socially – as a reflection of a very different society. Yet certainly Mrs. Riddle would recognize her school, and I like to think that she would recognize her boys. The young men of Avon are recognizable, not just by the winged beaver on their blazers, but by their direct and friendly gaze.” Founders League Cross Country Championships 2007 Hosted by avon old farms school - 500 old farms road - avon, connecticut 06001 COURSE MAP 2007 Founders League Cross Country Championships Avon Old Farms School - Avon, Connecticut John Bourgault, XC Head Coach: 860-404-4274 / Brian Doyle, Athletic Director: 860-404-4228 N MILE 2 TRACK START MILE 3 FINISH MAIN CAMPUS NEW GYM MILE 1 Avon Old Farms School 500 Old Farms Road Avon, CT 06001 LAP 1 LAP 2 Course Distance: 3.1 miles 1 Main Entrance 14 Elephant Dorm 23 Jennings Dorm 44 2 Water Tower / Ordway Art Gallery 15 Headmaster’s House 24 Southeast Entrance Road te 2007-08 Academic Year u 3 Forge 16 Dean’s Office & Registrar (to athletic fields and tennis courts) o 8 r o B 4 Chapel - Office of College Counseling 25 Health Center CAMPUS MAP t > 5 Brown House - Office of Dean of Faculty 26 Faculty Row d A a 7 o 6 Estabrook Fine Arts Center 17 Village Green Cottages 27 Jennings Fairchild Rink r s 7 “The Coop” Faculty Apartments 18 Riddle Refectory A - Hockey Rink m r a 6 8 New Duplex Houses, A&B - Barnes Lounge B - Laundry Pick-Up f d (faculty & student housing) 19 Headmaster’s Office (Alumni Bldg.) 28 Ordway Science & Technology Center l o 9 Brooks House (faculty apartments) 20 Refectory Kitchen (First floor) 29 Aron Academic Center 2 5 9 10 Gate House (faculty residence) 21 Performing Arts Center A - Baxter Library 3 11 Diogenes Dorm - Susan Casey Brown Auditorium - Communications Office 1 A - Alumni & Development Office & Music Classrooms B - Adams Theater main entrance 4 12 Pelican Dorm 22 Student Center & Athletic Complex C - Day Student Center < scoville road 10 13 Eagle Dorm A - Provost’s Office - Office of Academic Dean - Office of Admissions B - Dean of Students 30 Old Science Building - Business Office & School Bank C - Post Office & Learning Center quadrangle D - Weight Room 31 Jamerson House E - Student Center & School Store 32 Lower Storage Building F - The Commons 33 Nimrod Cabin diogenes circle G - Wrestling/Banquet Room 34 Log Cabin (faculty residence) 36 11 12 H - Squash Pavillion 35 Kegley Service Buildings old farms road A 37 I - Director of Athletics A - Shipping & Receiving 13 36 Service Entrance parking 15 37 Woodworking & Digital Arts Studio 35 14 21 16 village I footpath to green athletic fields > A parking F H N 31 17 18 G 19 A E 30 B D W E 22 day student C drop-off 29 20 S A C 32 27 B 28 A 23 B 24 southeast hockey rink & entrance; 34 (<0.25 mi.) day student parking athletic fields > 25 < thompson road to athletic fields faculty row & route 10 > 33 26 beaver pond Avon Old Farms School Avon, Connecticut 06001 Boys Avon Old Farms AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL - WINGED BEAVERS - AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL - WINGED BEAVERS - AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL - WINGED BEAVERS - AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL - WINGED BEAVERS - AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL - WINGED BEAVERS - AVON OLD FARMS SCHOOL captains Name Class Hometown Mike Reilly Breneiser, Durst Fr Reading, PA Kiho Suh Tully Hannan Carpio, Gustavo Sr Caracas, Venezuela Cottrell, Connor So Glastonbury, CT coaches Coz, Matt So Suffield, CT John Bourgault ’80 Tom Drescher Coz, Will Jr Suffield, CT Cusano, Anthony Jr Wethersfield, CT Ff Cusano, Joe So Wethersfield, CT athletic director Hannan, Tully Jr West Hartford, CT Brian P.
