A New Chapter for Wakefield Squash
March 1st, 2026
Published in: Country Zest & Style - Spring 2026, p. 21
This student-written piece highlights a pivotal season for Wakefield’s squash program—one defined by transition, resilience, and renewed momentum.
Following a championship year and the graduation of most of its varsity roster, the 2026 team entered a rebuilding phase under new head coach Henry Beach and a strategic partnership with Bee Squash. With a young, largely inexperienced lineup, Wakefield rose to the challenge—returning to nationals, developing strong team chemistry, and laying the groundwork for future success.
Written by freshman and team member Zachary M, the article offers an inside look at a program shaped not just by competition, but by leadership, perseverance, and a deep commitment to the sport.
Improvising At Wakefield Teaches Valuable Lessons
February 1st, 2025
Published in: Country Zest & Style - Winter 2025, p. 6
Imagine being live on stage in front of 200 people eagerly anticipating your performance. For most, this alone would be enough to scare them silly. Now, imagine you have no lines and don't even know what the story is yet. The show must be made up in the moment, with everyone watching.
It's called the art of improvisation, performing on the spot without a script, relying only on your fellow actors and the audience to support you. It's more than enough to give even the most seasoned performer a bad case of stage fright.
And yet, "improv" has taught me more about navigating life as a high school student than I ever could imagine. Every new show, like every moment in life, brings new challenges and opportunities to grow.
