• The stakes were high, the goal was clear: defend the undefeated season. On Thursday, October 24th, at the CRAL Championship, the TE boys cross country team rose to the occasion. From the start, TE set the tone. Aiden Pilatti made an early statement, locking in a top spot and finishing 4th overall. Hot on his heels was Cayden Poehnert, charging hard to secure 9th place. Evan Taylor and Connor Hall held their ground, crossing the finish line side by side, while Brandon Willcox closed strong, fending off Suffield’s top contenders and sealing the victory for TE. Shaunak Tamhane and Tommy Stewart ran with heart, putting in clutch performances that left no doubt—TE was taking home the title. Congratulations to the 2024 CRAL Champions! Good luck at the State Championship next Saturday. Go Cougars!

• The girl's cross country team was able to clench the win for the CRAL Championship, closing out their season undefeated. Jana Brownbill ran a tough race to win as the overall female. One place behind her was Greta Johnson, who had an amazing finish to her race. Emily B and Lillian Magnoli  had breakout races, earning 4th and 6th overall. Charlotte Z, Saanvi N, and Ashlyn all finished within the top 20, each running their best races of the season. The next race for these ladies will be states on 11/2/24.

• Last night the TE Boys Soccer team secure the #1 seed in the CRAL playoffs beating Suffield 3-1 in their last regular season game of the year.  TE had numerous chances in the first half, though they were not able to set themselves apart from the Wildcats.  The first half ended 0-0 though TE created most of the chances throughout the half.  The second half was more of the same, with TE controlling possession similarly to the first half.  Their persistence finally paid off as Dylan Leacu played the ball across the face of goal to Liam Staroverov for the cool finish in front of the net.  Shortly thereafter, Leacu bullied his way through the defense to make the score 2-0.  Suffield got one back off a corner kick that just eluded the TE keeper Will Woods.  In the waning stages of the half, Adam Elsendyouney put the game to bed after finishing a cross from Sachin Vemuri.  The result means that TE ends the regular season undefeated and will host one of the semi-finals on Monday night at Nevers.  Should they win, they will host the final as well.  Good luck to all the players as they strive to go champions in back to back seasons.  Hopefully you can make it out to the game on Monday.  Good luck boys.

Lani S. and Elise G. played their hearts out, Coach B and Coach Sayed were very impressed. The Lady Cougars are headed to the tournament next week. They will play on Tuesday!
