On January 30, five members of our varsity Squash Team traveled to Philadelphia to compete in the 2025 U.S. Middle School Championships Tournament. Our team had a huge task in front of them that weekend, with eighty-six middle school programs competing in total across seven divisions. Between a long day of travel, muscle strains, and this being the first national tournament for the majority of the team, our co-ed squad battled through every challenge and delivered when it mattered most.

The team had an incredibly strong showing, finishing with a 55-7 individual game record and an 18-2 individual match record, leading to a perfect 4-0 team match record. Mazen R. ‘25, in particular, remained dominant throughout the tournament, only dropping 19 points the entire tournament while winning 132. In the end, our Falcons proved their determination and passion for the game by clenching the Boys Division III Championship Title in a stunning 5-0 sweep against Cincinnati’s Seven Hills School.

The team showed a ton of resilience and played some of their best squash all season.
