He led the MAC in low scoring average for two years and was MAC individual champion his junior year. Gregg also played tennis and basketball for the Lions.

It was a busy fall sports season at St. Andrew’s as the Lions returned to MAC and ISL play. The golf team had its most successful season in a decade as it posted a second-place finish in the MAC. Leading the team was Vasilios Doulaveris ’24 who finished second among all golfers with a score of 74 and earned All-MAC honors.

The girls cross country team continued its run of success at the Maryland Small Schools State Championship. For the 15th time in the past 21 years the Lions won the small school state title. The boys cross country team took home second place at the same meet.

St. Andrew’s students continue to have success with local rowing clubs. Alex

Will Kaine ’22 also spent the spring and fall seasons rowing with TBC Racing and will join Colby College’s crew team this fall.
