Goodbye to senior spring athletes

By Kenya Sei ‘20 and Justin Veimau ‘20

Athletics are a huge part of many students' lives here at Catlin Gabel School (CGS). Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the premature end to the school year, many spring athletics have been cut short. This is devastating for all spring athletes but especially for seniors who, for some, this is their last season. As two senior spring athletes ourselves, we decided to take this opportunity to provide a sort of “online senior night” for those athletes who have given their time and energy to this school and their craft.
