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.
Varsity Diving (MVP): This season’s most valuable diver goes to Captain Olivia McNicholas. Olivia is one of the most dedicated and hardworking athletes that I have ever coached. She practices 6-7 days a week most days two times a day and is always trying to improve her scores or the degree of difficulty of her dives. Her commitment to her sport will set her up for much-deserved success in College, but I am lucky to have her for one more year. Not only did she win the CHSAA league which is a first in Kellenberg history, but she made states for the second year in a row. She is always willing to help her teammates and was a great help to me in preparing the team for practice each week. Olivia, congratulations on your success which is due to your work ethic and drive. You are a force to be reckoned with!
