Winter sports competitions are officially underway! Here’s where each squad stands heading into the 2025-26 winter season:

Boys Basketball

After last year’s strong 13-6 regular season that sent the Saints to the second round of the state tournament, head coach Terrell Myers’ mantra this year is “opportunity.” “We’ve got a bunch of players who have spent a lot of time in the St. Andrew’s program who finally get to show their skill set,” he says. “I’m extremely excited to work with this team.” 

The team’s first big test is a stretch of five games leading up to winter break; their first home game against Wilmington Christian resulted in a Saints W. 

Girls Basketball

The team is ready to hit the ground running after securing a winning record last season. Although they have lost some key role players, head coach Paul Clemons feels confident entering his fourth season at St. Andrew’s. “The girls are efficient and locked-in,” he says. The team started the season off with a win against MOT Charter on December 5. “We picked up where we left off,” Clemons says.

Wrestling

Tradition and growth are the main focuses of the wrestling program this year, according to first-year wrestling head coach Steve Cacciavillano. Cacciavillano says he’s already ecstatic about the team’s all-in attitude. “St. Andrew’s has a rich history in wrestling in Delaware,” he says. “Having been in the state for a while now, I am incredibly excited to keep growing the sport, and we have had great buy-in from the wrestlers so far.” 

Saints wrestlers hit the mat in their first meets Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7. On December 6, six wrestlers competed in the Polytech Invitational, with standout performances from Welby Smith ’28, who finished the day in 7th place. Chun Cheung ’27 and Julian Toomey ’27 each finished 1-2 at their respective weight classes. On December 7, two wrestlers competed in the Lady Lightning Bolt Invitational. Alice Oswalt ’28 reached the semifinals and finished in 6th place, and Caitlin Hwong ’27 earned her first career victory in her second match.

Squash

On the girls side of the squash court, “We have a more mature team this year,” head coach Doug Whittaker says. “But I am expecting great things from both teams, and with the boys team being a little younger, I am excited to see what we learn this season.” The girls began their season with a victory over Episocpal High, and the boys lost against the same school.

Swimming

Head coach Greg Guldin is ready to see his Saints shine. “I am very excited to get the season underway,” he says. “We have great leadership and a great group of new and returning swimmers, all of whom are bought into making the season the best yet.” Guldin notes the importance of leadership and togetherness for his team, both paramount to get through the long season ahead. “We are not turning away from the demanding work of self-improvement. We are charging into it. While the process is what matters most, I cannot wait to see the outcomes,” Guldin says. 

At the home opener, the 2025 DISC Relay Carnival, the boys team came in first place, and the girls team in fifth.

Indoor Track

Indoor track kicked things off at Franklin & Marshall College on December 6, and judging by the results, this team—which smashed individual and team records last season—looks to continue its success. At that meet, six new school records were set: Ethan Williams ’26 in the 60 meters, Olivia Ike ’27 in the 60 meters, Jaxen Wingard ’28 in the 60-meter hurdles, Margaret Gilheany ’26 in the 60-meter hurdles, Burke Donovan ’26 in the 400 meters, and Claire Hoopes ’26 in the long jump. 

“New team members are eager to make their mark, so each meet is set to be full of improvement,” head coach Jon Tower says. “Many athletes are poised to challenge our current school records. Our training has intensified over the past few months and our runners, throwers, and jumpers are eager to start the competitive season.”
