Sandra G. Robichaud

Sandra G. Robichaud, 69, a loving mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on Monday, March 31, 2025, at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack surrounded by her family.

She was born in Nashua, NH on October 18, 1955, a daughter of the late Roland Carta and Mildred (Blake) Carta.

She was the wife of Gerard Robichaud whom she was married to for 48 years.

Sandra was a woman who cherished her family above all else, and her greatest joy came from spending time with her children and grandchildren. Whether it was attending their school plays, cheering them on at sporting events, or watching them perform on stage, she was always their biggest fan. Holidays were particularly special to Sandra, as she loved being surrounded by her loved ones, creating cherished memories year after year.

Her days were often filled with fun and laughter as she played games, went to the park, visited Canobie Lake Park, or spent leisurely afternoons at the beach with her grandchildren. Sandra’s warmth and joy were evident in every moment she shared with them, making her an unforgettable presence in their lives.

Sandra dedicated over 40 years of her life to working at Hannaford, where she was a valued member of the team, known for her kind and dependable nature. Outside of work, she found happiness in socializing with her friends, particularly during bingo nights. Her laughter, positive spirit, and caring heart made her a beloved friend to many, and she treasured every moment spent with them.

In addition to her husband Gerard, survivors include her daughter, Kristyn Robichaud of Scituate, MA; her son, Todd Robichaud and his wife Rachel and twin grandchildren, Carly and Travis all of Wilton, NH; her niece, Wendy Carta of Nashua; her brothers-in-law, Donald Robichaud of Manchester, NH and Robert Robichaud of North Carolina; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Denise and Ron Descheneau of Manchester, NH, Roger and Trina Robichaud of Manchester, NH, and Claire Robichaud and Thomas Gilbert of Hudson, NH; also several nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews.

There’s no question volunteers help make water polo happen. This National Volunteer Week, Water Polo Australia celebrates the incredible individuals who give so much of themselves to support our sport and community.

Fleur Fotheringham, who recently joined the Water Polo South Australia board last year as Appointed Director, began her journey volunteering her time almost five years ago when her son represented South Australia at junior representative level. 

As with many parents who devote their time behind the scenes to support their children in the pool, Fotheringham was just happy to help wherever possible.

“I think it’s really rewarding to be able to support and encourage your child in whatever sport they choose,” Fotheringham said.

“I’m an individual that likes to give my time, and I find it really rewarding and valuable.”

Fotheringham further emphasised the importance of volunteers amongst sporting organisations, noting the crucial role they play at all levels of sport. 

“It’s a really supportive environment. We’re not a big club, we’re not a big state, but the environment and the culture that we have is such a supportive one to all of our players,” said Fotheringham.

Fotheringham recounted the fundraising efforts amongst the local South Australian community to support their youth teams’ participation at the recent Australian Youth Water Polo Championships held in Perth last month.

“We had wine sales, sausage sizzles, chocolate drives, hot cross buns sales, in an attempt to get all of our teams here as youth teams.”

The Water Polo South Australia 16&U Boys Team Manager was grateful for the community spirit and unity shown in aid of their Youth Championships campaign, highlighting the importance volunteers play in nurturing the next generation of water polo stars.

“It’s about what we can do to get them here and to allow them to have the best time possible.”

COLORADO SPRINGS – Women’s Freshman of the Year Emily LaMena leads 40 total all-RMAC honors for Colorado School of Mines in the outdoor track & field season.

The Mines men had 23 student-athletes earn 30 total all-RMAC honors, while 17 Oredigger women received 20 awards.

Notre Dame cross country, track and field overcome adversity to achieve success

The Notre Dame cross country team entered 2024 with high expectations, and despite a seemingly endless barrage of untimely injuries and illnesses on both the women’s and men’s sides, emerged from the fall season with impressive achievements.

Irish women claim first ACC cross country title, men return to top 10 at nationals

For as consistently strong as the Irish women have been since Notre Dame joined the ACC more than a decade ago, an inaugural conference title had long eluded them, with one seemingly indomitable obstacle largely responsible for that gap in the trophy case: NC State, eight-time defending champions entering 2024. But in November, the Irish put an end to that drought on the Wolfpack’s home course, emerging from a tightly contested conference championship race with their first ACC crown.

“That was a great day,” Irish director of cross country and track and field Matt Sparks said about the ACC Championship. “The conference title was something we’ve worked towards for the last 11 years since we’ve been in the ACC. So that was a special day for us.”

The Irish were led throughout the season by a pair of veterans — senior Siona Chisholm and graduate student Erin Strzelecki — who each rose to the occasion and stepped into starring roles at key moments in the season. At the conference meet, it was Chisholm’s sixth-place finish that propelled Notre Dame to a narrow victory.

“Siona and Erin Strzelecki were two [runners] that … we looked for to step up and fill some of that leadership void at the front end of the pack, and both did that in different times of the season,” Sparks said. “Siona carried the weight at the ACC Championship and kind of dragged us to the win that day.”

Three weeks later, it was Strzelecki’s time to shine, leading a severely depleted and shorthanded Irish squad to a 16th place finish at the NCAA Championship while placing 37th individually to earn All-American honors for the second consecutive year.

“To complete those accolades, [we’re] really proud of her. She had a midseason sickness at the pre-national meet where she didn’t run, she was so ill,” Sparks said of Strzelecki. “But then obviously [she] came around just at the right time for the national meet.”

Conversely to the veteran-led women, it was more of a youth movement for the Irish men, partly due to the team’s bevy of talented underclassmen and partly out of necessity, as several of Notre Dame’s established leaders were hampered by injuries.

After placing 14th nationally the previous year — the team’s second consecutive finish outside of the top 10 — the Irish had ambitions of returning to national contention and looked poised to do so for much of the year.

Notre Dame earned a major regular season victory at home in the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invite and followed a sixth-place ACC finish with a win at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional to carry some momentum into the national meet. They made good use of it, fighting to a 10th-place finish at nationals. Like the women, the Irish men were led by an All-American performer, as junior Izaiah Steury was up front for Notre Dame in 24th.

“Really proud of Izaiah, [he] had an amazing national meet,” Sparks said. “He was a little off at the conference meet; I believe he finished better at the national meet than he did at the conference meet … but Izaiah Steury really bought into what he was doing.”

Steury’s performance was backed up by a strong showing from Notre Dame’s young core, with three more Irish runners who will be returning to campus next fall placing inside the top 100 nationally — juniors Ethan Coleman and Daelen Ackley and freshman Drew Griffith.

“We felt like we had a really good blend of upperclassmen that had done some things on an elite level, and then a talented group of [underclassmen] that we were going to count on,” Sparks said. “We really had to lean on the underclassmen.”

O’Brien’s pentathlon three-peat leads the way for Irish track and field

As the Irish shifted their focus to track and field, it was once again time for graduate student Jadin O’Brien to shine. During the indoor season, O’Brien continued her dominance in the pentathlon, claiming a third straight NCAA title while establishing new school and ACC records in the event. Along with fellow graduate students Addison Berry and Alaina Brady, O’Brien helped Notre Dame complete a rare sweep of the podium in the pentathlon at the ACC Indoor Championships.

“That was definitely the sweet spot of the indoor season,” Sparks said about the Irish’s pentathlon conference sweep. “Jadin has won NCAA titles before. She had a great score, won the championship, and we’re extremely proud of the three-peat there. But it was really neat to see all three of them on that podium together, celebrating.”

Also crucial to the Irish women’s strong indoor track season was the performance of graduate student Madison Schmidt, who set a school record in the high jump en route to finishing as ACC runner-up and earning a berth at the NCAA meet.

“She’s been a model of consistency when it [comes] to the championship time of the year,” Sparks said about Schmidt. “She continually jumped high when it mattered most.”

On the men’s side, Notre Dame’s distance group carried their strong cross country efforts onto the track, with Ackley claiming the ACC indoor title in the mile while Coleman impressed with top-five finishes in both the 3k and 5k.

“Daelen has really matured as an athlete. He’s finally very comfortable in what his skill set is and how he needs to execute a race and that really came to fruition at the ACC Championship,” Sparks said. “And then Ethan Coleman has just been a steady rock for us since he got here. Season after season, [he] progressively gets better.”

Another standout in conference competition was freshman Luke Himes, who earned First Team All-ACC honors with a runner-up finish in the shot put.

“That’s a tough event to transition from high school to college. It’s a different-sized weight and it’s a strength-oriented event … and he was able to transition pretty seamlessly,” Sparks said about Himes’ performance in the shot put. “So that’s really exciting for the future, what Luke’s going to bring to the table.”

Now in the midst of the outdoor track and field postseason, the Irish will close out the year with the regional meet at the end of May and the NCAA Championships in Eugene, OR, from June 11-14.

GREENSBORO — North Carolina A&T track and field athlete Kendrell Goodes graduated recently and plans to continue his education by pursuing a masters in psychology.

The 6-foot-4 Goodes was a strong three-sport athlete at North Rowan, competing in football, basketball and track and field. He graduated in 2021.

In the 2021 1A Outdoor State Championships, Goodes high-jumped 6 feet, 6 inches for first place. He ended a 16-year drought for North Rowan outdoor high jump state champs.

Track and field proved to be his ticket to college athletics.

Goodes left a couple of marks in North Carolina A&T’s record book.

He set the school mark for the high jump indoors, clearing 6 feet, 9 inches in December 2021.

Goodes’ all-time effort in outdoor track was 6 feet, 9.75 inches in the 2024 Coastal Athletic Association Outdoor Championships held at Elon. He finished second that day to a Campbell jumper who cleared 7-2.25.

Goodes finished his career on top last week as North Carolina A&T’s men won the team championship for the first time since moving to the CAA. Goodes helped with a sixth-place finish in the high jump.

Goodes made the Dean’s list twice. As a sports psychologist, he hopes to help athletes enhance their performance and mental well-being.
