The Most Valuable Player Award is awarded to the athlete whose contribution to the team contributed most towards that team’s success during the season. Here is what the coaches had to say about the team members from your hometown.

Girls Varsity Swimming: Throughout the season, Shannon Pepe truly embodied the commitment that Bernie Ward showed during his time at Kellenberg. She not only came to every practice this year but also was the hardest working swimmer at every single one. Shannon led her lane at practice, pushing herself to keep up with the swimmers in the faster lanes. She never complained and swam any event we needed her to, even when it was not her best stroke. Shannon was a pleasure to coach every single day because she wanted to improve her times and approached everything with a positive attitude. Her dedication helped her to improve her times across the board and made her an essential member of the team this year.
