Souhegan Student-Athletes for the Weeks in December

Weeks of December 1-16

Sara LeFleur - Girls Hockey

In just her 4th game ever in goal, Sarah recorded 25 saves on our way to the first
girls’ hockey win ever. This is a testament to her undying determination,
incredible work ethic in the preseason, when she started working with a club
team, as well as her work in season with the team. The team is more confident
because of the confidence she exudes on and off the ice. With other players
following her example, the future for the program is certainly brighter than
ever.

Ben DeForest - Indoor Track

At the Dartmouth season opener on Saturday co-captain Ben DeForest set a new 55
meter hurdle school record for his first place effort, high jumped 6' 0"
for second place, and ran the first leg on the 4 by 200 meter relay which
finished in third place. Over 20 teams from New Hampshire and Vermont
participated in the meet. His hurdle time was the fastest time by a New
Hampshire hurdler in two years. His efforts were instrumental in the team
victory defeating second place Nashua North by 25 points.

Week of December 17

Nate Kittredge – Indoor Track

Co-captain Nate Kittredge helped the Sabers' track and
field team to a first place finish in a 14-team meet at UNH on Saturday, Dec.
22. He won the 600 meters with a fine time of 1:27.5, then he ran on the 4 by
400 relay team, which also finished first. For four years he has been an
important part of the outstanding middle distance runners on the Souhegan track
team, and his success in the first two meets this season bodes well for the
entire team.

Min Lu Kelly-Durham – Indoor Track

Co-captain Min Lu Kelly-Durham was second in the 1000
meter race at the 14-team track and field meet at UNH on Saturday, Dec. 22. She
also ran a strong leg on the winning 4 by 400 relay which enabled the girls'
team to rally to second place overall in the meet. Min Lu has consistently been
a part of the 4 by 400 relay as well as the 4 by 800 relay. Both relay teams
have been successful, and Min Lu is one reason why.

Week of December 24

Brandon Len – Boys Basketball

Senior Co-Captain Brandon Len has scored nearly 100
points in his last three games, including 26 vs. Alvirne and 28 vs Nashua
South, both Division 1 schools, in the Chik Fil A Holiday Tournament. Brandon
is poised for a big senior season and continues to be a leader for us each day
in practice, while also continuing to put in strong work in the classroom.

Sarah Hurd - Indoor Track Co-captain

Sarah Hurd is the girls' track nominee for Athlete of the
Week. On Saturday at UNH, competing with twelve other teams, Sarah helped her
team to second place, only one point behind Milford. Sarah won the high jump
with a leap of 5' )" - equalling her best ever. She also placed second in
the 600 meters (1:48.5) and ran the fastest leg on the 4 by 400 winning relay
team.
