Overview

The Girls Squash team, led by co-captains Rhea Patnana ’23 and Kareena Kanumury ’23, had a fantastic season, continuing their strong run from the previous year. The team kicked off the season with a win at the Tom Flanagan Invitational Tournament held in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. After the winter break, MICDS hosted The Ashes Invitational Tournament, where the team emphatically won all four matches, securing the tournament title against teams from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. The team then embarked on a trip to Connecticut, winning all their matches, including impressive victories against a strong Choate Rosemary Hall team and Loomis Chaffee. At the US Squash High School Nationals tournament, the team was promoted to Division 2 and seeded fifth, a testament to their excellent performance throughout the regular season. Charlotte Medler ’26, Abby Derdeyn ’25, Annabelle Medler ’24, and Charlotte Derdeyn ’24 had exceptional individual performances at Nationals. Overall, MICDS had a remarkable season and demonstrated a high level of skill and determination. For the first time in MICDS squash program history, the team broke into the top 20 squash schools’ national rankings. The varsity squad bids farewell to four seniors who have considerably impacted the girls’ squash program: Patnana, Kanumury, Nikitha Ada ’22, and Evelyn Lui ’22.
