Episcopal’s fall athletes gathered in Laird Dining Hall to celebrate a season defined by dedication, perseverance, and teamwork. With winter sports already underway, the evening offered a moment for fall sports to pause and reflect on accomplishments both on and off the field. “Whether it was a personal record or just showing up and doing your best on days when that alone wasn’t easy, everyone in this room has something to be grateful for and to celebrate,” Director of Athletics Jen Fitzpatrick said. 

Congratulations to all of our award winners!
