Fall Athletics 2021 It was an incredible fall for Quaker athletics as three programs captured Conference Championships and all of our teams competed in their respective DIAA State Tournaments. We are proud of our students’ continued dedication to their sports and thank our fans for their support!
Cross Country The cross country team had another terrific season, competing against some of the top competition across the State of Delaware each and every week. During the New Castle County Championships, held at the challenging Winterthur Estate course, 12 members of the team set personal records! At the Division II State Championship Meet, the boys came out fast and placed 8th out of 28 teams. Max Leffler ’22 led the way, capping off his career with a 4th place finish and earning 2nd Team All-State Honors. Ellie Criscimagna ’23 paced the girls all season long as she was the first WFS female runner to cross the finish line in each race. Criscimagna, in the Delaware Independent Schools Conference meet, placed 8th overall and earned All-Conference honors. To the Class of 2022, thank you for your dedication to the running program and inspiring the classes beneath you. We will certainly miss watching you compete each and every week!
