All of our SAAC teams gave their absolute best this past weekend, leaving it all on the floor, track, and court across the continent. Our incredible student-athletes represented the very best of Nido, showing remarkable character, resilience, and team spirit throughout their performances.

Most incredibly, Nido Eagles were awarded the prestigious Spirit of SAAC at all three events—a rare feat considering that only two or three are awarded per tournament. This honor recognizes individuals who exemplify selflessness, sportsmanship, courage, and those who go above and beyond to positively impact their peers and the event.

Huge congratulations to Rafa (Track & Field), Felipe (Tennis), and Coach Krumtinger (Basketball)—you make us so proud, and your leadership reflects the very best of our Nido community! GO EAGLES!

Basketball in Uruguay 

In Uruguay, our varsity boys’ basketball team powered through the round robin with a 3-1 record, dominated ISC in the semifinal, and brought relentless pressure to ASQ in a commanding championship performance. The Nido Eagles repeated as SAAC champions, bringing the plaque back to Chile and proving once again that hard work, perseverance, and a purpose-driven process deliver results.

Our varsity girls also made the semifinals and went toe-to-toe with an experienced ASQ team. They showed true grit and spirit, pushing Graded to overtime in the bronze medal match. They finished 4th overall, but undoubtedly won hearts with their effort, teamwork, and positive energy. Congratulations to all players and coaches on a spectacular tournament!
