Squash Clinic and Tournament Keep Players on Their Toes

On January 7, Blair squash players were the beneficiaries of a teaching clinic featuring Geoff Mitchell, squash professional at The Chatham Club, and Henry Clutsam ’01 who is completing his senior squash season at Hobart William Smith. Geoff and Henry conducted drills with the boys’ and girls’ varsity teams and concluded the clinic with an inspiring demonstration match. This annual event is sponsored by the Clutsam family (Henry ’01 and his father, Henry ’65) and is much appreciated by Blair’s squash program.

On January 9, Blair hosted the New Jersey Prep School/High School Squash Tournament. Forty-eight players from independent and public schools throughout the state competed in the day-long event. Drew Blacker of Pingry was the boys’ champion, while Maggie O’Toole, also of Pingry, was the girls’ champion. Blair Academy’s Anne Newall ’06 beat teammate Jen Welsh ’05 in the finals of the consolation round.
