TBS Athletes Commit to Schools Across the Country

Fourteen members of the Class of 2019 (as of publication) have already been recruited to play collegiate athletics at their school of choice. Athletic Director Ryan Smith ‘93 says the senior class has an outstanding group of student-athletes currently committed to play athletics at the collegiate level.

“We anticipate over the next few months that this list will increase as we have a number of very talented student-athletes in various sports who are deciding between a number of colleges,” said Smith.

Junior Ellie Blain, committed to Dartmouth University, says it has been her dream to play college volleyball since she was in 6th grade.

“Benjamin is a great high school for both academics and athletics. Both of these factors are extremely important to me, and Benjamin allows me to balance the two. The faculty and coaches at Benjamin are very helpful and supportive every step of the way,” said Blain.

Blain says the School has taught her the importance of time management between class work and volleyball.

“Knowing that I have practices or games after school forces me to use the time that I have productively,” said Blain. Blain said she hopes to have a positive college experience academically, athletically, and socially.

“I am excited to start a new chapter of my life and to create new experiences in a new environment.”
