NMH Celebrates Fall Athletes

Nov. 16, 2022 —  Being part of a sports team at NMH is about more than just wins and losses — it’s about creating an environment where teammates support one another in good times and bad. 

That was field hockey player Racquel Provost’s message during her keynote speech at the NMH Fall Athletics Banquet, held on Nov. 11 in Alumni Hall. The banquet marked the end of the fall sports season and celebrated student-athletes and teams.

Provost, a senior who has played a varsity sport every season during her three years at NMH, said she has a deep passion for athletics, and coming to NMH has been an incredible opportunity to pursue that passion alongside academic interests.

“If you know me at all, you have seen me chasing down a ball out on the turf playing the sport I love, dribbling down the court in the winter seasons, and running around the softball diamond in the spring,” she said. “At NMH, I have received an inspiring education where I have been pushed to open my mind to new ideas and new thoughts while at the same time work at showcasing my athletic skills out on the field.”

Provost said her teammates, coaches, and friends were there to support her when she suffered an injury during a recent game that prevented her from finishing the fall field hockey season.

“Always remember to take that extra moment to listen to a friend, or stop to pick up a teammate, or an opposing competitor, off the ground,” she said. “Always show your best self, and make the extra effort to be there for someone else.” See photos of the banquet.
