MCVB Wraps Up 2022 Season with Banquet at Fire & Ice

Always fun to celebrate our season!  I miss the team once the season is over and we don't get to hang out every day.  We have class photos here as well as our Team Award winners.  Our banquet is a time to celebrate our Team for this year, and our seniors.  We keep it pretty simple, because that's who we are, but we had our dinner this year at Fire & Ice Restaurant, which was different but nice! 

Our Seniors got their Middlebury Fleece Blankets with their number's embroidered on it, which I think they all enjoy! Then, we have pictures of each class in reverse order, and the freshmen are awarded the Varsity M for their first year on varsity!

For our Team Award Winners, we had ties for two awards this year.  Our Panther Pride Award for the best teammate went to both Kelly and Lexi (the Black Mug).  Our Yellow Jersey Award (think Tour de France) for consistent daily effort  went to both Campbell and Kelly (the Yellow Jersey.  And, our MCVB Spirit Award went to Britt and she got the pen set for her desk!  

It's always fun to read what their teammates write about them when they're voting and we read off a few of those replies for each person. when handing out the awards.  It was a fun night to celebrate everyone on the team, including my assistant coaches Brian and Jill, our Trainer extraordinaire Beth, and our Faculty Affiliate Melissa.  Thank you one and all for another fantastic season of Volleyball fun!!

MCVB Alums Visit Campus

We LOVE when our alums visit us either here on campus or when we're on the road, so I wanted to highlight a few recent visits!  We had a surprise visit from a couple of somewhat recent alums in Emily Kolodka '18 and Becca Raffel '18 over parents' weekend.   

 

I've already written about some of these others, but to put them all in one spot, Isabella Marcus '22, Shea Golden '21, and Ali Wheeler '22 saw us down at MIT.

And Corley Doyle and Maggie Wise (both '22) visited over Homecoming! 

SO fun seeing ALL of them--thanks for coming and continuing to support
MCVB!!

Additionally, here are a few other photos of Alums who've visited over the last couple of years:

KT Lillich '97 visited over reunion this past June with her son!  And, Jaime Wong Larson '06 visited later this past summer with her son and husband, who is also a MIDD Alum!
