Team Kelley Wins Headmasters’ Societies Games
Ashley Taube
In a surprise conclusion that no one saw coming, Team Kelley won the 2025 Headmasters’ Societies Games, claiming the Hardwick Trophy as their own. Wednesday’s massive schedule of events in the pool, art studio and fields culminated with the small and large-group talent show. Kelley’s first-place finishes in faculty/staff tug of war, upper school tug of war, mural contest and small-group talent show were enough to clinch the victory over Howard, who had been leading for much of the week. Team Sharpe finished Wednesday out strong and also passed the early leader. Despite a winning, beach-themed large-group performance from Breed, it wasn’t enough to stage a comeback.
