KUA Recognizes Spring-Sport Standouts
Kimball Union Academy recently recognized 25 student-athletes who were honored by the Lakes Region League (LRL) and New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) for their performances this past spring.
The Wildcats enjoyed successful seasons across several programs, led by a softball team that advanced all the way to the finals of the LRL tournament. Baseball and both the boys’ and girls’ lacrosse teams also advanced in their respective LRL tournaments, while boys’ and girls’ tennis, golf, and track and field had their share of success as well.
“Our student-athletes enjoyed an incredibly successful spring and the number of individuals honored is a testament to that success,” Interim Athletic Director Chad Sturgeon said. “This recognition celebrates the commitment, resilience, competitiveness, and pride each of these student-athletes bring to KUA athletics every single day. It’s about far more than wins and statistics, it’s about the way they represent this community with passion and purpose.”
LRL and NEPSAC awards are determined by coaches of member schools and are issued following the completion of each season. KUA’s 2026 spring athletics award winners include:
