shout out Finney Heads to Dickinson After Record-Setting HS Squash Career Whitney Finney owns the Country Day records for the most single-season and career squash wins and will take her considerable talents to Dickinson College, where she will compete on its women’s squad, ranked No. 21 nationally.
Altland and Boys’ Hoopsters Shine Amid Girls’ B-Ball Gleam
“I’m going to Dickinson with the expectation to start somewhere in spots three through six,” Finney said. “That’s amazing for a freshman; that’s really cool. But also I think when an athlete commits to a college, they owe it to the college to be the absolute best they can be.”
Juniors Evie Altland and Lance Lennon are two of a handful of Country Day athletes to earn acclaim for their performances in the winter of 2019-20. They picked a tough year to excel; the varsity girls made enough history to inspire folk songs, but the girls’ triumph makes this pair’s achievements no less impressive.
I think when an athlete commits to a college, they owe it to the college to be the absolute best they can be.
Competing for McCaskey’s diving team, Altland earned the silver medal in the District 3 AAA Championships with a total score of 392.80. She also dove in the
state tournament, advancing to the final round before finishing 16th with a total score of 336.20.
In boys’ hoops, Lennon was named a Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 5 Defensive All-Star. Lennon and teammate Grant Landis ’22 also earned spots on the L-L League Section 5 Second All-Star roster. Senior Waasae Ayyaz took Academic All-Star honors, while classmate Greg Mizii was chosen for the L-L League Coaches Senior All-Star Game.
