MARY WURZBACHER '23
Mary’s Declassified Spring Sports Survival Guide
As I’m sure most of you know, SUA’s spring sports are almost at tournament time, so I thought it would be good to let you all know how our teams are doing so far this season.
Varsity lacrosse:
4-8 (wins-losses)
24 girls on the team + 1 manager
12 seniors, 8 juniors, 3 sophomores, and 1 freshman
Won 1 GGCL game out of 6 so far
What to expect next year - a strong team as the current JV sophomores level up to Varsity
JV lacrosse:
9-2 (wins-losses)
23 girls on the team
6 freshmen, 17 sophomores
Undefeated in GGCL’s
What to expect next year - also a solid team as the current freshmen anchor JV
Lacrosse overall:
The goal is to make it to the second round of the state tournament
Strengths are that the girls make a great team
Weaknesses are that the girls are a second-half team, meaning they don’t come out full force in the first half
Things to note about GGCL’s:
One of our girls has the most saves
One of our girls has caused the 3rd most turnovers
One of our girls has won the 4th most draw controls
Varsity softball:
Only varsity girls, there’s no JV team
1-11 (wins-losses)
13 girls
3 seniors, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, 7 freshmen
No high hopes for GGCL or state tournaments
Strengths: good hitters
Weaknesses: fundamentals and mindset
What to expect: a new pitcher, a solid team in 3 years once the current freshmen are seniors
Things to consider: this team is a mostly freshman team playing at a varsity level and we have already seen a drastic improvement in our freshmen.
Track and field:
Track competes as one team
Meets are won by whoever scores the most points. Points are decided by how an athlete places in their event (1st place is 10pts, 2nd is 8pts, etc). The top 8 girls get points.
There are about 100 girls on the team - about 35 sprinters and about 65 distance girls
Strengths: Girls are a great team and very supportive
Weaknesses:
