From early morning workouts to countless hours on the field, court, ice, and water, fifteen Griffins turned their dedication into opportunity — committing to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level. Five of them made it official by signing National Letters of Intent to compete in NCAA Division I programs.

On the soccer pitch, Krystal Medina Angeles will join the Columbia University Lions, and Mustafa Hassan will play for the Wentworth Institute of Technology Leopards.

Three Griffins will take their talents to the college basketball court. Yusuf Dakane will suit up for Saint Joseph's College of Maine, Kenny Donnelly for Wheaton College in Illinois, and Neo Franco for Southwestern University in Texas.

In hockey, postgraduate Alexis Scherzer left Pomfret early to tend goal for the Nazareth University Golden Flyers. She’ll face former teammate Ava England when Nazareth squares off against the Chatham University Cougars. Luke Corrigan will play for Babson in the New England Hockey Conference, and Matthew Itzkovitz will compete in the NESCAC at Connecticut College.

Also heading to the NESCAC is Carson Ames, who will take the field for the Amherst College Mammoths as a member of their baseball program.

On the water, two rowers will compete at the Division I level: Sean Rhatigan for Fairfield University, and Keira O’Brien for George Washington University.

In lacrosse, Audrey Bonaventura and Max Rosenberg are set to play for Sacred Heart University, while Chase Squires will represent Dickinson College.

Together, these fifteen student-athletes embody what it means to be a Griffin — a unique blend of talent, drive, and heart. As they take the next step in their athletic and academic journeys, they carry with them the pride of the Hilltop and the unwavering support of the entire Pomfret community cheering them on.
