Fall Athletics

During the fall season, we compete in cross-country, equestrian, soccer, and volleyball.

Cross-Country

Our intrepid runners cover a lot of ground on and around the MHS campus. You’ll often see them traversing our 3-mile course that takes them through woods and fields, but they also get out and about the Berkshires for a change of pace — and fall is a great time of the year to take in local scenery.

Ken Milano
Cross-Country Coach

Our cross-country team competes in a number of dual and multi-school meets and invitationals, and we typically host a race or two at home each season. We also welcome runners who are just out to have some fun, get some exercise, and take up this lifelong sport!

Soccer

Our soccer teams play on the Class of ’57 Field, an NCAA-compliant, natural-turf field dedicated in May 2019. In the beautiful Berkshires, our soccer players get the experience of playing a wide variety of teams in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council ( NEPSAC).
