Mamaroneck Old Timers’ Athletic Association Honors Four Student Athletes

The Old Timers’ Athletic Association of Mamaroneck-Larchmont honored a short list of student-athletes from Rye Neck High School  and Mamaroneck High School (MHS) on Thursday. The students, according to a release from the association, indicated those selected demonstrated scholarship, citizenship, leadership and community service. 

The Old Timers’ Association—comprised of approximately 200 members—has given this award in memory of its founder, Charles Gronberg, since 1975.  
Joshua Kriss, who will attend Northwestern University, and Elizabeth Stephanz, who will be attending Duke University were the MHS recipients. Joshua was the captain of both the soccer and hockey teams while Elizabeth was the field hockey and lacrosse captain.  Both students were very active in their school communities and the Mamaroneck/Larchmont community at large.

Nickole Morgan and Ryan Baal represented Rye Neck High School at the ceremony. Nickole will attend Brockport College, while Ryan will attend Cornell University. Nickole was the captain of both the field hockey and softball teams and Ryan was the captain of the soccer team. In addition to excelling in athletics, both were involved in both school and community activities.

All four of these young people epitomize the tenets of the Old Timers’ Association and are heartily congratulated for their hard work and determination. 

The association subscribes to the notion that athletics builds character, leadership and team work, essential qualities for young people to possess as they begin the journey toward adulthood.
