Those sounds you hear—the ring of baseball bats on Pond Road, the thwack of tennis balls behind Bromfield, the splash of oars on Bare Hill Pond, the clang of a missed high jump at Harvard Park—are the unmistakeable sounds of spring sports, whose season began two weeks ago.
Six sports are available to Bromfield’s student athletes this season: baseball, girls lacrosse, boys and girls track and field, and boys and girls tennis. Alas, varsity softball players must wait one more year, though athletic director Dave Boisvert says the school will field two junior varsity teams this season and the future of that sport in Harvard looks bright.
The Press will be assisted in its coverage this spring by a cadre of student reporters as well as long-time rowing reporter Jill Maxwell. The paper lacks a baseball reporter, however. If interested, please write to editor@harvardpress.com.
