More Than a Game: A Whole-Person Approach to Athletics

Banners aren’t just symbols of victory, they're stories of heart, teamwork, and tradition.

A proud member of the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA), every year Lakefield teams have earned CISAA Championships and OFSAA titles, spanning sports from Nordic Skiing to Girls’ Rugby. Whether it’s the roar of the crowd on our home field or the quiet focus of rowing at the still water, our athletes compete with passion—and leave a legacy that hangs proudly in our gym.

Being part of the Snowboarding Team taught me how to lead with heart.

Alex Smith ’25

With four OFSAA medals—gold, two silver, and a bronze—Alex Smith is one of the most decorated athletes in Lakefield history. Her steady drive and determination made her a role model for younger teammates and earned her the Milligan Award, recognizing Lakefield’s most outstanding athlete.

I love Nordic Skiing, I love the outdoors

Louisa Dalglish ’25

Training on Lakefield’s 5 km Nordic trails, Louisa finds joy and motivation in the cold. She says, “I feel like I turn into a whole different person skiing. It makes me feel better, it gets me outside, it makes me more active…more positive, and enthusiastic."

Baseball and Hockey are my sports of choice.

Jud McGowan ’25

LCS is the type of place you can come to, not just because of the schooling, but for the athletics and the type of school that makes you want to play for the teams, because the support of everyone around is unreal.
