On Feb. 29, winter athletes and their supporters across the school community gathered to celebrate the successes of this past athletic season. In his introductory remarks at the 2024 Winter Athletics Awards Ceremony, Director of Athletics Neil Cunningham called the winter 2024 sports season a “historic” one for SAS athletics, with the boys swimming and boys indoor track team winning the Delaware Independent School Conference (DISC) Championship, the squash team winning the Speers Cup, and the girls wrestling team competing in the first-ever DIAA Girls Wrestling State Championships, among other standout moments. At the ceremony, the athletics community recognized these collective accomplishments, as well as the individual athletes who went above and beyond in terms of athletic performance and leadership of their teams.
