NHTI Earns National Awards In Fall Athletics Season

NHTI-Concord’s Community College had an outstanding fall athletics season—with one team runner-up in national conferences, an upcoming national championship, and runner-up placement in regional conferences for three sports.

For the first time in NHTI history, the women’s soccer team has earned their place in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Division II National Championship game. On Monday, November 17 at 5 p.m. they will face the University of Cincinnati Clermont.

After an undefeated run through pool play over the weekend, the NHTI Lynx finished strong as the tournament’s #2 seed. After this historic game, they will continue their momentum abroad in December, traveling to Costa Rica to compete against first- and second-division teams while giving back through community service.

In cross country, the NHTI men’s team earned a second-place title at the USCAA national championship—another historic finish for the college. Eli Lemire from Weare was named a member of the USCAA All-American team after finishing as individual runner-up with a time of 27:53 for the eight-kilometer race.

“Eli has really been an inspiration to us as a team all year and is the caliber of athlete that rivals, and in some metrics surpasses, some of the best we have ever had at this school,” said head coach Graham Hayslip. “I am looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish in the Spring."

The Lynx women’s volleyball team was cheered on by the hometown crowd as they fought in the YSCC regional championships hosted on the NHTI campus. They completed a runner-up finish with Emma Bernard from Barrington being named the tournament’s Outstanding Offensive Player.

In golf, the Lynx men’s team made a strong showing in USCAA championships. Aiden Boule from Concord finished in third place and was named a 1st Team All-American, and Bronson Ammann from Hopkinton was named National Long Drive Champion.

NHTI athletics is ramping up for another strong season with men’s and women’s basketball tipping off. The men’s basketball team is anticipated to give a strong performance in the national arena. This team has achieved historic wins in the past, including a USCAA Division II national championship win in 2020.
