Basketball – JV

This athlete was an all-around game-changer and game-maker during JV Basketball’s game against Hotchkiss on Wednesday. She dominated the paint and played tight on ball from tip-off to the closing buzzer. Her dedication to blocking shots left and right, preventing passes and disrupting plays, and making openings for her teammates to shoot would have been enough for this nomination. And yet, this player took it up another few notches by also taking advantage of the openings her teammates created for her. Because of this dedication and effort, JV Basketball would like to nominate Daisy Bistline for Athlete of the Week!

Basketball – Thirds

This thirds basketball point guard played the game of her life last week against Hotchkiss, netting her first points of the season. Her coaches want to recognize her tenacity and commitment, refusing to give up when the game got tight, protecting the ball against a tough press, running our offense flawlessly, and diving after loose balls. As one of our team captains she was instrumental in our efforts and never wavered in front of a very enthusiastic home crowd, and when the game went into double overtime, she got the team together and told them to keep going. We are so proud of the work this athlete has put in and she always shows up to practices and games with a smile and a great attitude. This week’s athlete of the week is Dahlia Micone!

Equestrian

Last weekend, this athlete qualified for IEA Hunt Seat Equitation Regionals. She earned a cumulative of 18+ points throughout the Fall season. Most of her classes were exceptionally large and competitive, which highlights the work she has put into her riding this year. Wish her luck at Regionals! This athlete of the week is Diane Ferragu!
