Boy’s Varsity Soccer: When your goalkeeper suffers three concussions in two years and still finishes the season ranked number one in saves with one hundred and thirty-five, how much more commitment can you ask for?

Girl’s Varsity Tennis “A:: Megan Loomie did not try out for the tennis team until her Junior year, having played only lacrosse in her first two years at Kellenberg. Her athletic skill translated well to the tennis court and she made the team despite very little playing experience. What became immediately apparent was her desire to improve, which she did continuously throughout her first season. However, when she arrived at tryouts this past August, her improvement was off the charts. She became an integral part of the starting lineup, playing first doubles alongside Jessie Moreo. Their two playoff wins over St. Francis Prep and St. Anthony’s were critical to the team winning the league championship. Congratulations to our Most Improved player, Megan Loomie of Rockville Centre.
Girl’s Varsity Cross Country: Another pivotal leader in the all-important summer training motivation, this young lady came into her senior year as a mature leader, and a most mature competitor. She was our number one girl in every race the team competed in, and was the number one girl for all competitors at both the Nassau Coaches Invitational, and the NSCHSGAA Championships. She is poised to “put it all together” at the Nov. 14 CHSAA Intersectional Championship Meet. We are honored to award Deirdre Lewin of Rockville Centre the MVP of the team award for 2015.
