There are so many opportunities that I can get here that I am not able to get anywhere else.
At Peddie, athletics are not an addition to your education, they are part of your education. Lessons learned on the fields, courts and courses stay with you for life. Your coach (who might just be your math teacher or dorm supervisor) will mentor you and challenge you to be your best.
Being part of a team. Being relentless. Being ready to grow every day. This is what it means to be a Falcon.
Peddie is where I learned the importance of hard work and the value of good relationships. It taught me things about myself I had no idea existed.”
Where you train and play is critical to your success on the field, court or pool. Peddie’s athletics facilities are among the best in the country and are always improving.

The boys A-4X+ consisting of Francis McGovern (4), Will Armuand (3), Chris Horsch (2), Armaan Motiani (1) and Frost Gill (coxswain) & 2V had excellent races against the Mercer, Lawrenceville, and Hun fours while they raced the quads they have been in all season. The 3V unfortunately suffered a boat stopping crab which slowed down their total time quite a bit. The 4V raced their first race of the season. The 1 and 2Vs joined together to race an 8 posting a very commendable time and placing after having only rowed the lineups once. For the first time, the novice boys joined in on the racing, beating Mercer’s top novice boat and completing their first race representing Peddie.
The girls raced around the 4500m course the first time in three coxed quads, then went around again in an 8+. Results were solid in both events: first, fourth and ninth in the quads and a terrific second place behind Mercer’s top 8+ after only one row together. The Peddie A-4X+ that placed first consisted of Scarlett Liu (coxswain), Anna Terhaar (4), Aria Shi (3), Veronica Simms (2) and Diya Kondapalli (B). The novices joined in the event this year. The girls completed the course with the second-fastest time behind Mercer’s top boat and ahead of one of the boys’.
