Athletes of the Week
may 18, 2009
The Athletes of the Week are track and field New England Champions Camille Gooden ’12, Orelia Jonathan ’11, and Matt Brown ’10.

Camille Gooden started her first long jump of the day with a personal best of 16’ 9”. She went into finals and jumped an amazing 17' 4-1/4" which broke the long standing long jump record. Her jump broke a 31-year-old record of 17' 1/2" set in 1978 by Cecelie Braithwaite ’79 and Camille ended up in second place out of 16 jumpers. In the running events, Camille is now officially the undefeated 100m and 200m New England Champion and holds three school records. 

Orelia Jonathan has been a force in the 100 hurdles this year. She went into the event as one of the top seeds but was determined to keep her undefeated streak going. Orelia is now the undefeated New England 100H Champion.

Matt  Brown was the number-one seed going into the meet but the jumping competition was intense. Matt made a solid 6' 0" jump to clinch the victory.

Contest of the Week
may 11 , 2009
The boys varsity lacrosse team’s 9-5 win against Phillips Exeter Academy is the Contest of the Week.

NMH won in dramatic fashion on Saturday by coming from behind with an overwhelming fourth-quarter surge to defeat host Phillips Exeter Academy 9-5. This win continues a competitive streak between the two teams over the past four years, a span during which the visiting team has won in each case. The win brings NMH to 5-9 on the season, while Exeter drops to 8-3. Up next is NMH's final week of the season as they head south to take on Westminster for the first time in recent memory before returning home to end the season with Loomis Chaffee on Saturday.
