Aidan McBrien Bernie Ward Commitment Award - Boys Varsity Basketball

Throughout this past season, this player was one of the hardest workings and dedicated members of the team every day at practice. His enthusiasm and willingness to sacrifice for the team helped lead us to the successful season we had. Usually the first player at practice and the last one to leave, his positive attitude and energetic spirit made him a favorite among his teammates. Aidan is the embodiment of a Kellenberg Memorial student lead by his honor as the Scholar-Athlete Award at the Reid Roberson tournament at Westbury High School in which the team won a thrilling overtime game.

Lola Lechleider - Bernie Ward Commitment Award - Varsity Cheerleading

This season’s Bernie Ward commitment award goes to a cheerleader who has fully dedicated herself to being a Kellenberg Varsity cheerleader. She is one of the strongest bases on the team, and she always pushes herself and others to be better. She is constantly asking questions and finding ways to improve herself, either in stunting or tumbling. Not only do we commend her on her commitment to cheerleading, but also for her positive attitude. She’s always ready to work with a smile on her face. The Varsity cheerleading commitment award goes to Lola Lechleider.

Michaela Hall - Bernie Ward Commitment Award - Varsity Swimming and Diving

Michaela is one of the hardest working students I have ever seen. She works hard at everything she is involved with. She attends every practice with a positive attitude, ready to work hard, and improve. Placing second at champs is only the beginning for this athlete. She is always looking for ways to improve at her sport, and I am excited to see all the great things that she will achieve in her senior year.
