Squash Spotlight
Mercersburg alumni have competed on the varsity teams at Boston University, Chatham University, Colby College, Connecticut College, Cornell University, Drexel University, Franklin and Marshall College, Hamilton College, Haverford College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Middlebury College, Trinity College, Tufts University, and the U.S. Naval Academy.

Medora Westcott '06
Everyone involved in setting the foundation of the squash program at Mercersburg Academy were instrumental in teaching me how to play squash. I have fond memories of the facilities being opened and playing with Natalie Grainger and Mark Talbot. Thanks to the program I ended up playing squash at Hobart and William Smith College my junior and senior year. I then joined the University Club of NYC and played squash there for 10+ years and was able to play with friends and in competitions.

Squash taught me a unique perspective on the idea that I was playing to win my own match but that my score also contributed to the team's score as well. I learned to work hard for myself, for my own record. Being that I was completely new to squash, I was dedicated to learning the sport and improving as much as I possibly could in the four years I played. I started with no experience. It definitely provided me with an experience that proved hard work pays off.

I learned how to contribute to a team as an individual. There are a lot of parallels in squash and life. You learn patience, when to be assertive on the court, and when to defend yourself. You also learn not to think too long about failure - the game is too fast to get caught up in defeats. The game contributes to a more resilient mindset in all things.
