Michaelmas Sports Wrap-Up
By Kat Willson '26, Editor-in-Chief; Edited by Sunny (Yu) Zhao '26, Staff Editor
The fourth of November marked the end of the Michaelmas (fall) athletic term and sports awards. At the end of every sports term, Ridley hosts an event to celebrate our competitive athletes. Each team is invited onto the stage, and players are given awards to recognize their achievements that term. All Ridley athletes and coaches work very hard throughout their season, so this is the time for everyone to celebrate their accomplishments.
