PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Miss Hall’s School announces that six of its student athletes have received recognition for their performances during the fall sports season.
Senior Megan Grace, of Dalton, achieved All-New England status in cross-country; seniors Rachel Bell, also of Dalton, Crystal Lee, of New York City and Julie Rosa, of West Milford, N.J., were chosen as all-stars for the Western New England Prep School Volleyball Association (WNEPSVA); while sophomore Sophie Bellemare, of Hoosick Falls, N.Y., and junior Mary Newton, of Berkshire, Mass., were named among this year’s all-stars for the Women’s Western New England Prep School Soccer Association (WWNEPSSA).
Megan, a four-year varsity runner, secured All-New England status by placing 12th at the 67th Annual NEPSTA Division III Championships, held at the Canterbury School in New Milford, Conn.
Bell, one of the volleyball team’s tri-captains, is a four-year senior who has played varsity volleyball all four years, the last two as a starter at the outside hitter position. Lee, also a captain, is a four-year senior and four-year starter on the varsity volleyball squad. She played the “libero” position as a defensive specialist. Rosa is also a four-year senior and has played volleyball for four years, two years on the varsity squad at the setter's position. All three girls played critical roles in the varsity team's 10-6 record, which qualified the squad for its third-straight appearance in the WNEPSVA postseason tournament.
A two-year varsity starter at MHS, Sophie played right midfield for the Hurricanes and was the team’s second-leading scorer with eight goals. Mary, a three-year varsity starter is making her second consecutive all-star appearance and led the Hurricanes with eighteen goals from the striker’s position. Mary also plays varsity basketball and has twice been named an all-star for her play on the MHS varsity lacrosse team.
