Overall, Montrose placed 5th out of 10 participating teams, just one point away from beating Winsor School, who placed 4th. Montrose beat Rivers School, Sacred Heart Greenwich, Westminster School, Tabor Academy, and Pomfret School- all Division II teams! The Mavericks were extremely proud of their results, comparing their scores to Division II schools. The entire team ran their hardest and with much determination.

Congratulations, Mavericks, for an outstanding performance!
