Milton offers 15 interscholastic sports for both boys and girls each, as well as nine intramural teams. Milton is a member of both the Independent School League and the New England Schools Sailing Association division of the Interscholastic Sailing Association. Since 1886, Milton's traditional rival has been the Noble and Greenough School of Dedham. Recently, the ultimate team was ranked seventh in the nation and the varsity football team "entered the 2005 season with the best ten year record of all ISL prep programs". In the past five years, Milton has won 17 ISL Championships and most recently the boys' tennis team won New England's. The boys' tennis team has won four New England titles in a row. The coed sailing team has won multiple national championships. Milton's boys' hockey team has had several players go on to successful professional careers, most notably 12-year NHLer Marty McInnis and current Boston Bruin Josh Hennessy. In 2011, Milton's boys hockey team won the NEPSAC championship, winning what is widely considered the most prestigious championship in American high school hockey. The team featured two NHL draft picks: Patrick McNally and Rob O'Gara. In 2012, the Boy's Cross Country team placed 2nd in the ISL, earning the team's highest finish in 25 years.
