Believe it or not, spring sports at Trinity Hall are underway! On March 9, the seasons for all seven sports commenced, including varsity and JV lacrosse, golf, flag football, spring track, sailing and softball.
Despite its young age of 13 years, Trinity Hall has had no shortage of athletic successes. From state championship wins to Shore Conference titles, the Monarchs have given Monmouth County a school to talk about. This 2025-2026 school year has been no exception, with teams in the fall and winter seasons bringing home amazing victories. The varsity soccer team won their division, which was highly competitive and new for the team that season, and made it to both the Shore Conference and State Finals. The swim team won the Shore Conference Tournament, NJSIAA Non-Public South Tournament, and Monmouth County Tournament.
It would be an understatement to say the spring teams are excited for the season ahead. Coming off, yet again, impressive seasons from last year, each team is eager to begin competing this spring, with big goals for the upcoming season.
The varsity lacrosse team is ready to compete in the highly competitive Shore Conference and extended state bracket. Ending with an unexpected defeat in the Shore Conference semifinals against Southern Regional and a loss against Oak Knoll School in the State semifinals last year, the Monarchs are ready to get back onto the field. Winnie Popham ‘26, shared her excitement and hopes for the season, “The lacrosse season is expected to be a great one this year. We hope to make it to the Shore Conference championship game and to have great team chemistry, building off of our success last season. I am super excited and hoping for a great season as a team!”
Back again for their second season this school year, the Monarchs sailing team has big things in store. The team from last season is set to build off of success from the fall. In the spring of 2025, the team had a large number of sailors who had never been on a boat before and learned to sail throughout the course of the season. This year, the Monarchs are looking forward to a stronger season, due to these new girls from last year growing their existing skill set. The Monarchs are regatta ready!
Another team who is eager to build off the success of last year this coming season is the softball team. Coming off of a season holding their first winning record since 2019, the Monarchs have high expectations for this season. Pitcher Emma Mullins ‘27, when asked about her hopes for this season, said, “We ended last year on a really high note, and I'm hoping we can keep that momentum going into this year. I'm excited to see how everyone has developed, and to start working with the new players on the team.”
The Monarchs golf team, led by Ms. Sobieski, is another group which has shown immense success in the past years and is prepared for even more in the season to come. Last year, the team played many tri-matches, which means that three teams were competing against one another. The Monarchs ended with an overall record of 12-1, an amazing feat for the program. Other post-season accomplishments included winning the Monmouth County Tournament, where Lauren Nam ‘26 placed first, and tying for first place at the Shore Conference Tournament. The most impressive aspect of these wins was that a variety of players stepped up in these matches, giving every player experience and a chance to contribute.
Historically, the spring track and field team has brought in success for the Trinity Hall community, and it seems that this year will not be any different. Ryan Raynor ‘26, who has been on the team since her freshman year, only had excitement to share as she remarked on the upcoming season, “I’m a part of a great group of girls who all work incredibly hard and have a lot of passion for the sport. After an awesome spring track season last year, I’m hopeful our team can continue to build off of our success to reach for even greater accomplishments this year.”
Last, but most certainly not least, is the flag football team. Flag football, which is not a widely provided sport at many high schools, has had great success in the past few years at Trinity Hall. The Monarchs had a strong season last year, and due to their being a club, not varsity sport, did so without many practices over spring break like other Trinity Hall sports had. The Monarchs have some new players this year, and with that comes a plethora of new and exciting talent. The future is bright for this Monarchs team.
These Monarchs spring sports teams have one common tie; the signature bond amongst players that instills team work and dedication to Trinity Hall athletics in all teams. There is nothing like what Trinity Hall athletics has to offer, so come out for a game this season and support your fellow Monarchs!
