We’ve written about the fact that both Delmar (Del.) and Glenbrook (Ill.) South have three athletes playing on various iterations of U.S. women’s field hockey teams.
But a Tweet from a couple of weeks ago points out an even larger concentration of talent. It points out that Pottstown Hill School (Pa.), a team which has distinguished itself through strong interstate play and winning the 2022 PAISAA Championship, has four players on the U-16 national team headed to Valkenswaard for its annual Easter Hockey Tournament.
The four players are Abby Gerdeman, Aubrey Turner, Sofia Ferri, and the young woman who scored the last-minute goal to win the PAISAA title, Opal Sparling. It’s about as impressive as when the first U-16 select team was assembled in the early 1990s, and three members of the team were from The Hun School of Princeton (N.J.).
Want more? OK, how about Hill graduates Madison Orsi (Virginia) and Josephine Palde (Duke)? They are on the U-21 national team roster for the Pan American championships, which will be taking place later this month. Not to be outdone, Maggie Kondrath (Duke) is on the U-18 national side.
With this kind of national-side talent returning, you have got to believe that Hill is a team to keep your eye on for the 2023 fall season.
