Winter Athletic Awards Celebration 2025-26

On Tuesday, March 3, students, coaches, and families came together in the Bodman to recognize Kents Hill’s winter athletic season. The night was an opportunity to reflect on the commitment and growth shown across all programs, celebrating the leadership, teamwork, and determination that carried our athletes through the winter months.
 

Varsity Alpine Skiing
The Varsity Alpine Ski team had an outstanding season filled with success and growth. The boys captured the MAISAD Championship for the second year in a row, while the girls had a strong showing and narrowly missed a first-place finish. At NEPSACs, the boys finished sixth overall and the girls placed fifth. Despite battling illnesses that day, both teams showed resilience and determination, continuing to compete at a high level. It was a season marked by progress and achievement, and we look forward to seeing both programs continue to grow in the years ahead.
