Congratulations to all of the Kents Hill teams on successul spring seasons. Varsity softball, varsity baseball, and varsity boys and girls tennis all brought home MAISAD titles, and the Athletic Department is proud of how much effort and dedication the student-athletes put into the final sports season of the year.
