Spring Sports Recap
Rivers’ spring teams made great strides this year after a slow start due to early season storms. Caroline Phelps ’18 won her second All-American designation after helping girls’ lacrosse finish with its strongest record in years at 9-3. Rivers’ golf team, captained by Ian Brostowski ’18 also had a great season, finishing second in the ISL with a remarkable 14-1-2 overall record. Members of Rivers’ track and field team won many individual events at both the ISL and NEPSAC championship meets. Senior Nic Stathos came in first in both the NEPSAC 1500 and 3000 meter races. Myles Epstein ’19, who earned a Globe All-Scholastic, repeated his performance at the ISL Championships, coming in first in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Samirah Moody ’21 came in second in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes, after having won both events at the ISL meet. Sarah Stephenson ’18 was second in the 3000 meter and Rohan Dhir ’18 was third in the high jump.
Rivers alumni also continued to make their mark in college athletics. Connecticut College junior Jamie Navoni, Rivers ’15, was named to the All-NESCAC Second Team. Midfielder Navoni, who was also a captain and the leading scorer for field hockey this past fall, led the women's lacrosse team in five of the six major statistical categories this spring.
Colby College senior Matt Treveloni, Rivers ’14, one of the top hitters in the league, was named to the NESCAC Baseball All-Conference Second Team. He ranks third in the NESCAC in batting average, was tied for third in triples, and is seventh in slugging percentage.
Rivers alum Tim Dick ’16 was a member of Georgetown’s men’s lacrosse team which won the Big East championship and earned a place at the NCAA championships. Tim was named US Lacrosse Academic All-American as a senior in 2016.
Adding one final honor to her outstanding basketball career, Yale senior Jen Berkowitz, Rivers '14, received the 2018 Nellie Pratt Elliot Award - Yale's most prestigious athletic award given to a senior female.
