Athletes Honored at Fall Sports Banquet

Athletic Association senior heads Lizema C., Kate G., Kyla P., and Ellet. S., and junior assistant heads Fiona J., Connelly R., Michaela W., Ellie W., and CeCe Y. emceed the entire evening. After the ceremony, students were treated to tasty desserts organized by the Parents’ Association (PA).

During the program, cross country, field hockey, tennis, and volleyball team members received certificates, and varsity athletes got their letters. Each coach said a few words about their team’s season and presented individual awards. Particularly exciting was the announcement of 12 athletes who earned All-Greater Piedmont Athletic Conference (GPAC) honors, including one Player of the Year!

A complete list of honors follows. Thank you to everyone who made the evening a grand success, especially Athletic Director Michelle Woodruff, Assistant Athletic Director/Head Athletic Trainer Mairin Wood, and the PA for the delicious desserts.
