Record-Breaking Elwood Student-Athletes Honored By Board Of Education

ELWOOD, NY — Three record-breaking student-athletes from Elwood-John H. Glenn High School were recognized by the Elwood Board of Education at its meeting earlier in May, the school district announced.

Amanda Howard, Ava Mule and Matthew Triolo were each introduced by Athletic Director Dave Shanahan at the meeting.

Howard, a senior softball pitcher, is one of the all-time strikeout leaders in John Glenn softball history.

"Not counting the last two games, Amanda has pitched 270 and one-third innings," Shanahan said. "She has 462 strikeouts, an average of 11.963 per seven innings and 8.717 per game. Amanda could be our all-time softball pitching strikeout leader. Additionally, Amanda has a .600 batting average this year."

Next was sophomore lacrosse player Triolo, one of the leading boys lacrosse scorers on Long Island.

"Matt is an excellent lacrosse attacker," Shanahan said. "He achieved the 100-goal plateau mark on April 10 versus Eastport-South Manor, an unbelievable milestone in lacrosse, and even more incredible as a sophomore."

Senior lacrosse player Mule was honored for also joining the 100-goal club.

"Ava scored her 100th career goal on May 3 versus Southampton," Shanahan said. "She has established herself as an exceptional lacrosse player and leads by example on and off the field."
