The Millbrook Mustangs galloped through the fall at full speed, delivering all-out performances at home and around the New York-New England area. Even though just one team brought home a title—the newly crowned Class C New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) champion boys varsity soccer squad—every athlete was a winner, as they learned to compete with confidence and integrity.

To celebrate the most outstanding athletes from the varsity soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and cross-country teams, Millbrook congregated in the Flagler Memorial Chapel on Thursday evening for the fall athletic awards ceremony.
