Morgis, Plouffe earn All-New 
England honors
Three members of the Woodstock Academy senior class chose to head to the New England track and field championships at Noble High School in North Berwick, Maine, Saturday instead of attending graduation ceremonies.
Two of them came home with All-New England honors.
Lily Morgis finished second in New England in the discus with a best throw of 137-feet, 4-inches. The only athlete to finish ahead of her hailed from just down the road in Plainfield as junior Nevaeh Dailey finished as New England champion with a throw of 148-feet.
Avery Plouffe also went north and finished sixth in the shotput with a heave of 38-feet, 11 ¼ inches.
Both earned All-New England status.
“It’s a tough call between attending graduation and going to New England’s. Wrapping up your senior year as an All-New England performer, hopefully, left Lily and Avery feeling good about their decision,” said coach Josh Welch.
Classmate Eli Manning was also in the top 10 in New England as he placed ninth in the boys’ discus with a throw of 158-feet, 9-inches.

Quest instructors take top honors at New 
England Tang Soo Do Championships
THOMPSON —  Quest  Martial Arts is proud to announce that two of its senior instructors earned top honors at this year’s New England Tang Soo Do Championships, held in Westbrook.
Ms. Erica Seraphin was named All-Around  Cup Winner, earning the most combined points across sparring, weapons, and forms among all black belt divisions — a distinction recognizing the most complete competitor at the event.
Master Greg Martinez-Torres was named Grand  Champion in all three divisions: Forms, Weapons, and Sparring, sweeping the top placement in each category.
“I am incredibly proud of these results. Erica and Greg are gifted coaches, but they inspire most by leading from the front — still training, still competing, and never asking of their students anything they aren’t willing to do themselves,” said Master Kristin Duethorn, owner of Quest Martial Arts.
The achievements reflect the discipline, dedication, and traditional values at the heart of Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art emphasizing technical skill, character, and respect.
