Athletic Department Awards

• Outstanding Achievement: Alex Suny '19, Varsity Football
  • Alex has been one of our best players not just on the field but as a leader off the field as well. He has changed positions this year and excelled at his new tight end spot. He continues to be a standout on defense. Neither spots garners "glory" or recognition but he remains one of the hardest working players we have had in recent memory. He truly exemplifies a team first attitude.
• Outstanding Achievement: Jordan Coccoluto '21, Dance Team
  • "Rookie of Year"- Jordan Coccoluto is deserving of an award. I would like to recognize her for perfect attendance, excellent sportsmanship, technically ability, work ethic, teamwork, and coachability. She has been great and has been recognized by her team during rehearsals. She has such a wonderful positive personality and is constantly smiling every rehearsal.
• Outstanding Achievement: Sean O'Connell '18, Boys Varsity Soccer
  • Despite battling injuries this year, Sean contributed a great deal to our offense providing an attacking threat from the left side of the field and he stabilized our defense with his speed and physicality. As one observer noted, "he might not be you most technical soccer player, but he is your toughest, and he inspires your team to be more competitive"
