Monday morning (with the help of Day Light Savings), I cheerfully got to school early and spent 15 minutes in the bathroom painting the letters “XC” on all of my teammates left cheeks, because our left cheeks are close to our hearts. Not only is this week Spirit Week, my favorite five academic days of the school year, but also the Girls Cross Country team has just won the ISL Championship. Our school pride is shining brighter than ever! Last Friday our team traveled to rival territory at Nobles and ran our toughest race of the year against all 12 ISL teams. MAXC (Milton Academy Cross Country) had beaten 11 of the 12 teams, with the exception of Nobles, in the regular season. We wrote “Nobles” on our locker room “Win Wall” because we knew we had to beat them in order to win the championship. With so many girls racing, it was extremely unclear as to who had won the ISL championship following the race. When the announcer announced Nobles in second place, our section of the bleachers erupted with screams and cheers! After an extensive photo shoot with our new hardware, both the boys, who came in second in the ISL, and girls teams celebrated over a pasta dinner and bonfire at a teammates house. Although I awoke sorer than ever the next morning, I couldn’t be more proud to be a Mustang!
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
