Mustangs of the Week | Millbrook School: Better by Design

FALL 2025

WEEK OF October 20

Joiee Downs

This past Saturday, Joiee won the race against Berkshire and Frederick Gunn, beating a runner from Frederick Gunn who had previously bested her twice this season. Joiee has pushed herself in every practice this fall and has been a real spark for the team. She has been a fearless competitor in every race, with Saturday being no exception.

Zane Williams

Zane helped the Mustangs pick up an impressive win this weekend as they swept Berkshire, Salisbury, and Gunn. The scores were very close, and Zane’s performance was critical in the win. All fall, Zane has been a very consistent runner, and his numerous top 10 finishes have really bolstered the team. Each day, Zane has brought a positive attitude to the course and has shown consistent improvement.

WEEK OF October 13

Merritt Tessier

Merritt has taken her game to the next level this year, and while the team has had its share of injuries, she has provided the offensive punch the team has desperately needed. Whether serving crosses into the box for teammates to run onto or netting goals herself (she had a hat trick under the lights during Fall Family Weekend against Frederick Gunn School), Merritt has helped give her team a chance to win.

Ross Ezrow

After missing a month due to injury, Ross returned to the lineup this past week. His impact was felt immediately, as he helped the team pick up two big road wins against class A opponents Kent and Salisbury. Against Kent last Wednesday, he headed in the decisive goal in a 2-1 win, and against Salisbury he picked up two important assists in a 3-0 win.

WEEK OF September 29

Georgia Simonds

Georgia was a force for the field hockey team this past Wednesday at Canterbury. She played a key role both as center forward and center mid, helping transition the ball up the field, leading to the Mustangs enormous 2-1 victory. Georgia also sustained an injury in the game but went back in and continued to play with fearless intensity.

Ollie Fauver

Ollie placed third in the boys cross-country race on Saturday with a time of 20:17. Overall, he ran extremely well and rebounded after a slower start to his season. More than anything, Ollie has been improving steadily, working extremely hard in practice and being a selfless teammate. Ollie has been the glue on the cross-country team all fall.

WEEK OF September 22

Anna Colman

Anna was a dominant presence last week on the volleyball team. In the team’s two games, Anna stepped up with 15 assists and 20 kills. Not only has Anna’s play been impressive on the court, but she has also helped to keep spirits high off the court! All fall, she has been a positive presence, leading like a true captain.

Will Vollmer

Will led the Mustangs to an impressive win this past Saturday against rival Frederick Gunn. The entire boys team ran extremely well, but Will earned the fastest time in the race, finishing in 20:03. As a third former, Will has quickly become a lead runner on the boys team and has been a real catalyst so far this fall.

WEEK OF September 15

Andy Sassatelli

This past Saturday, in a field of 100 runners, Andy won the D2 girls race at the Canterbury Invitational. She took a commanding lead in the first mile, and never looked back, finishing with an impressive time of 18:57, which was nearly 1 & 1/2 faster than the next runner.

Artie Ambuhl

Overall, Artie’s been a great addition to the BV soccer team this fall. In just three New England games he’s picked up 5 goals and chipped in an assist helping the team get off to a strong 2-1 start on the season.
