The girls tennis program thanks graduating seniors Kiki Brianard ’22, Daphne Gavros ’22, Devon L’Esperance ’22, Hunter Pulliam ’22, and Isha Rao ’22 for their hard work and loyalty to the team over the past several years. You elevated the tennis program and made Deerfield proud each time you stepped on the court. You will be missed!

Track Records Continue to Fall!
During Saturday's tri-meet between Deerfield, Choate, and St. Paul’s, the Big Green continued their historic 2022 season performances. Two student-athletes: Kaelin Creagh ’24 and Josephine Louis ’23, set two new school records during the meet, permanently etching their names in the Deerfield history books.
Kaelin Creagh ran the grueling 400 Meter race with a time of 59.75 seconds. This marks the third school record that Kaelin has set this season. She currently holds the school record in the 100 Meter, 200 Meter, and 400 Meter races. In the pole vault event, Josephine Louis ’23 cleared 9’ 6” in Saturday’s meet to claim her own school record.
Congratulations Kaelin and Josephine!
