The
school year of 2015-2016 has been one of great success for the Severn Admirals.
Of the 30 varsity and junior-varsity teams that compete throughout the year,
several teams have had tremendous individual and team accolades. The fall
started off strong as the varsity men’s soccer team defeated Boys Latin in the
championship to win their second MIAA B Conference
title in a row. The JV men’s soccer team followed in the varsity’s footsteps as
they won their conference as well. The Cross Country team completed their
notorious half marathon with three runners, Neel Lakhanpal, Archer Willauer,
and Camryn Rosen, taking on the daring task of completing an entire marathon. The
varsity women’s tennis second in the very competitive A conference. Even when
the Admirals thought that the fall season could not get more exciting, the
football team came out on Halloween and beat St. Mary’s for the first time in 9
years.
The winter season was able to carry on the wave of athletic
success in the Severn community. The boy’s varsity basketball team finished
with 19-10 record and made it to the semi-finals of their conference for the
first time in four years. The varsity girl’s basketball team also had an
incredible season as they received the #1 seed in the conference and made it to
the championship of their division. Maddie McDaniel made school history as she
broke her 1,000th point and, by the end of the season, held the
school record for most points scored and rebounds. The wrestling team also proved
to be a major force in their conference as they became the B conference state
champs.
Even though the spring season is still in progress, there have already
been monumental successes. The varsity men’s lacrosse team started off their
season strong with two in-conference wins over Gilman and Mount St. Joe’s. The
win over Gilman was the first time in 25 years that the Admirals had come out
on top of the Greyhounds. The boy’s team has followed their two in-conference
wins with very close games against some of the top-ranked teams in the nation.
With the rivalry game against St. Mary’s on May 6, the Admirals are vying for a
playoff spot. The girl’s varsity team has had one of their best seasons in
decades as they coined the number three title in their division, the highest
ranking they have had in nine years. The Lady Admirals will play their first
playoff game on Tuesday, May 10. Men’s varsity tennis continues to be a force
in their conference as they stand 6-0. The varsity baseball team has also had a
strong season, as they remain a dominant opponent in their conference.
As the year comes to an end, it is incredible to look back on
all the success that have been achieved on the field, in the pool, on the
wrestling mat, and on the track. Severn athletes have made outstanding impacts
in their respective conferences. All this success could not come about without
the support and encouragement of the coaches, athletic trainers, and parents.
The Admirals have brought a great name to Severn this year, and hopefully the
upcoming school year will be filled with the same amount of hard work and accomplishments!
