BALDWIN ATHLETICS: BLUE, GRAY AND GREEN Baldwin Athletics’ new bicycle is not the department’s only green practice, but it is the newest. As a way to scoot around campus easily to catch more games and connect with students, the Athletics department purchased a bike this fall, instead of a more costly golf cart or gator. The cross country and track team coaches also have the bike available to ride alongside athletes during training. “It’s a green and cost-effective way of getting around campus and the community,” commented Deb Surgi, director of athletics. “We’re very committed to a green world here in Athletics.” In addition to the bike, the Athletics Department recently donated old uniforms from six teams; the Salvation Army will shred them and put the fabric to new use. UPPER SCHOOL CREW Members of the Upper School crew team raced as part of Team Undine, competing in four regattas in the fall. Sophomores Elizabeth Grubman, Bridget Pansini and Noa Schork with juniors Abigail Lemmon and Storey Wanglee. UPPER SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IS STRONG The Upper School Baldwin Athletic Association hosted a party on the Athletic Center back porch for the 98 Upper School fall athletes on the final day of pre-season. The girls celebrated their hard work and kicked off another spirited year for the Athletic Association. Athletic Association representative Krista Hinchman ’15 displays the t-shirt “Where the Weak Become Strong and the Strong Become Great, Baldwin Pre-Season.”
