This past Saturday, the school community traveled to Pottstown, Pennsylvania to watch Big Red’s sports teams participate in Hill Day, a core Lawrenceville tradition dating back 136 years. While most of the school community was decked in red and white, cheering on friends and peers, the II Formers brought a fresh energy while experiencing their first Hill Day. II Formers learned how to show spirit and pride for the community, and most importantly, were eager to be part of Lawrenceville’s special tradition.

Many II Formers enjoyed participating in sporting events and repping school merchandise. In fact, a large fraction of spectators were II Formers wanting to experience Hill Day with their own eyes. They used the day as a time to build bonds with their peers and share a lasting feeling of school comradery. II Formers enjoyed watching all teams play and spending Saturday cheering on friends. “Not only is [Hill Day] a memory that I can look back on, but I am excited to say that it is something I can look forward to for three more years,” said Tyler McKibben ’27.

Besides spectating, many II Formers participated in their first sporting events, whether it be at the Varsity, Junior Varsity, or II Form level. The II Formers finished their first season with a positive ending and got to exhibit all the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm they put into their sport to further the school community and make a powerful impact on Lawrenceville’s morale.

All in all, every member of the Lawrenceville community brought abundant pride for Hill Day, whether they played on the courts or fields, showed off their Spirit Week outfits in the classroom, or cheered for athletes in Pottstown. With their spirit, pride, and energy, especially of the II formers, Big Red and Lawrenceville successfully took the Meigs-Green cup home once again.
