Varsity Badminton Team Wrap-Up: Strong Performances and Bright Futures
On May 1st and 2nd, Zhi Wei Zhang ‘25 and Jason Liang ‘25 proudly represented the CDS Varsity Badminton team as the top boys' doubles CISAA pair at OFSAA. Facing off against a field of formidable opponents, the duo battled hard and advanced to the second round of the B consolation flight. Jason’s crafty deceptive drops and Zhi Wei’s explosive jump smashes made for a dynamic combination, showcasing their skill, synergy, and passion for the game. As graduating students, both athletes leave behind a legacy of dedication and excellence. We hope they continue to enjoy the sport in the next chapter of their lives and carry forward the joy badminton brought them at CDS.
On May 14th, CDS hosted the CISAA Regional Qualifiers, welcoming teams from Bayview Glen, Holy Trinity, Royal St. George’s, Villanova, and The York School. The day was marked not only by impressive athletic talent but also by a spirit of sportsmanship and mutual respect. Competitors shared tips, encouraged one another, and gave their all in a day full of exciting matchups.
The CDS team showed outstanding growth, resilience, and teamwork throughout the tournament. Coaches Mr. Collins and Ms. O’Connor were especially proud of the team’s perseverance and progress this season.
