Spring 2026 Athletes Celebrated!

Athletic Association Heads, seniors Lizema C., Kate G., Kyla P., and Ellet S., and Assistant Heads juniors Fiona J., Connelly R., CeCe Y., and Ellie W. emceed the entire evening. After the ceremony, students were treated to tasty desserts organized by the Parents’ Association.

During the program, members of the lacrosse, soccer, softball, and eSports teams were presented with certificates, and varsity athletes received their letters. Each coach said a few words about their team’s season, and individual awards were presented. Eleven All-Greater Piedmont Athletic Conference (GPAC) athletes were also celebrated and are named in the complete list of honors below with their respective teams. Riding also presented a series of end-of-year awards.

Thank you to all 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. 

Congratulations to all of our athletes!
