Few towns were busier athletically then Harrison was over the weekend. Purchase College hosted the , A 5K run for health and two Husky teams were back in action.

Harrison’s cheerleading squad took part in their first competition of the season at Somers High School. The Huskies had to make some adjustments late in the week after an injury but Harrison finished the competition in first place.

The volleyball season ended for with a loss to Cornwall as Harrison fell 3-1 at Bard College. The loss ends the tenure of a remarkable Husky team that was 38-4 over the last two seasons only losing to Fox Lane and Cornwall and never falling at home.

This season the athletes came away with a multitude of individual awards.

Jessica Segal: All league, all county, all section, league player of the year and the Con-Ed award winner.

Lily Stokoe: All league, all county, all section, and the Con-Ed award winner.

Elisa Santelia: All league, all county, and all section.

Jenna Webb: All league and all county.

Betsy Sanchez: All league and all county honorable mention.

Jennifer Volponi: All league honorable mention.

Alison Midollo: All league honorable mention.

Stokoe was just named the Con-Ed award winner last week and after Jessica Segal won it a month ago and Jenna Webb received it during softball season it now gives the Huskies three winners on the same team.

“Lily has come so far in the past four years,” said Coach Candy Light, “Lily worked very hard each year to raise her level of play to become one of the dominant middle hitters in the section. Unlike most tall front row players, Lily also is one of the team’s best passers in the back row, this means she is dominant on both offense and defense.”

Stokoe is still undecided as to where she is going to school next year but she leaves Harrison as one of the most accomplished athletes the school has ever seen and a member of the best female team Husky nation has ever had.
