1. Allison Hung, Senior, Co-Captain for Varsity Girls Soccer: What was your favorite moment of this past season?
“By far my favorite moments are on the field when my teammates score an unbelievable goal and when they turn around everybody is running to them celebrating. ”

2. Matthew Miao, Senior, Co-Captain for Varsity Boys Baseball: What have you learned from playing baseball these past four years?
“I’ve learned a lot from baseball that school could never have taught me. I learned how to maintain friendships and create new friendships with people I meet along the way. I learned how to stay healthy by working out and eating right. I also learned how to have a good time while trying to maintain focus. I think that a lot of people have the wrong idea of what focus is. Everybody has different levels of focus, whether it be dialed up to 10, or being focused on the game (or practice) while still laughing and goofing off. Baseball definitely taught me a lot about speaking to elders with respect. Every coach I have had so far has been older than me, and that calls for me to automatically respect them. The most important thing I’ve learned though is that life in general can be a really humbling experience. It’s super cliche but life really is like a roller coaster. Once you get too high, you’re eventually going to come crashing down. The easiest parts of the roller coaster, although they aren’t the most thrilling or fun, are the plateaus. You’ve got to find that nice medium between high and low, or else life will bring down the humble hammer.”

3. Darius Jing, Junior, Varsity Boys Track: What challenges lie ahead for your track career?
“I think the biggest challenge is just staying motivated and positive. Sometimes I tend to focus on the bad or over stress about meets too much. But this type of thinking just makes me tense up and unmotivates myself. I think if i just go out there and remember why i’m there and how much this sport means to me and remember to do it for the team and just think really positively”

4. Charles Deng, Senior, Varsity Boys Tennis: How do you feel about playing tennis in college?
” I felt absolutely exhilarated to sign to MIT. Ranked top 40 in the nation as a five star recruit, I was the coach’s best prospect in his years at MIT. But since there was no guarantee, I was taking a huge risk applying to MIT, when I had many other offers and schools of interest, those that I was set on getting in if I simply applied. But I loved MIT. The quirky people, the emphasis on creativity and collaboration, the strong and rigorous academic programs, and easy going tennis team all compelled me to consider the sacrifice and take the risk.”

5. Eryca Yamane, Junior, Varsity Girls Cross Country: What has running cross country taught you?
“”Luck won’t save you. Neither will pasta dinners, war paint, triple-knotted laces, or pre-race huddles. The only thing that will save you in cross country is the unbreakable determination to run harder for longer than everyone else.”

6. Edwin Tran, Senior, Varsity Boys Swim : What has swimming competitively all these years taught you?
“I’ve learned to be dedicated. Every practice you miss adds up. You feel slow coming back into the water
I’ve learned good sportsmanship, to go over and shake their hands after the swim. And I’ve learned the importance of teamwork, especially during relays. I’ve also learned to be punctually since missing your event can cost your team victory, and that warm up is not that important.”
