Thayer Academy student-athletes enjoyed a fun and productive fall sports season and represented their school in true Tiger fashion. 

“It’s an honor to stand before our community and share the highlights of our fall athletic season,” said Director of Athletics Bobbi Moran, who emceed a recent Upper School assembly celebrating both varsity and JV teams. “The fall season has brought out the best of who we are and challenged us to reconsider places where we still have more work to do. When we lean into our teammates and coaches and respectfully hold one another accountable, amazing things can happen.”

Moran said ensuring that student-athletes on Thayer teams feel known, connected, and prepared is at the core of creating great teams. She also challenged those student-athletes to get to know one another, step outside of their comfort zones, and lead by example.
