TA’s high school golf team has grown from four athletes to eight this season! They’ll be hosting a number of matches at the Lake Morey Country Club, as well as the Girl’s State Golf Championship. Lots of matches next week for the golf team and we’re looking forward to continued progress over the course of the season. 

The middle and high school cross country teams are up and running (pun intended)! The HS team competed at Bellows Falls last week and had some great performances on both the girls and boys teams. TA is the host for a middle and high school this afternoon, and the middle school team will have an opportunity to show off their skills in their first meet of the season.

Despite drought conditions, bass fishing has been casting away, traveling to local watering holes to hone their skills. The team will compete in the VPA Classic on September 20 and then head up to the VPA Championships on October 4. Our anglers are eager and hoping to put a banner on the wall this season!
