Athletics Awards 2023

SPRING SPORTS AWARDS

At the beginning of the year, I asked you all to take it to the next level and you lived up to it. You trained harder than you ever trained before, you competed harder than you ever competed before, and you succeeded more than we thought possible. To the sixth-formers, I only wish I had more time with you all. In high school athletics, we only go as far as the student leaders want to go and because of you we fulfilled more goals and went further than anyone expected. –Chris Milmoe, athletic director

WINTER SPORTS AWARDS

“The winter athletic season is a beast. It is the longest season of the year, has a break right in the middle, travel can be daunting and the weather is uncooperative. But, I must say there was rarely a moment this winter when students weren't smiling and excited about their sport or activity they were doing. You all are amazing and you put a ton of work into your sports. It was a blast to watch.” –Chris Milmoe, athletics director
