Norfolk Academy celebrated its fall athletics season at Upper School Chapel on November 13, and what a season it was!

• 🎽 475 student-athletes, a school record
• 🥇 44 teacher-coaches
• 📺 44 NA-TV student-led broadcasts
• 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Five TCIS conference titles
• 🏆🏆 Three TCIS Coach of the Year honors
• 🏆 Field hockey VISAA state championship

And so many more individual and team accolades. But as Director of Athletics Chad Byler said, Bulldog athletics is about more than winning. "More important than championships and all these great honors are the relationships that were forged on these teams and the bonds that were created between our student-athletes and their teacher-coaches that will be cherished forever," Byler said.
