On May 22nd Kellenberg Memorial High School honored its spring freshman and sophomore athletes. Here is what the coaches had to say about the team members from your hometown. Here are the awards given to our athletes. The Most Improved Player Award is awarded to the athlete who displayed the greatest amount of improvement and growth in their skills which contributed to the success of their team. The Bernie Ward Commitment Award is named after our beloved former faculty member, coach, and colleague Bernie Ward is for the athlete who has displayed the most passion and commitment towards bettering themselves and their teammates during the season. 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.
Girls JV B Lacrosse: The Most Improved player on the girl’s JVB lacrosse team is Kristen Dempsey of Seaford. At the beginning of the season, Kristen immediately took corrective criticism with a positive attitude and maturity. Kristen took every suggestion that was made to help her improve and absorbed and used them. She made a record high of 14 saves in a single game and became a strong defensive force for the team. The coaches cannot wait to watch Kristen continue to grow in her lacrosse career here at Kellenberg.
Boys Freshmen Track: Commitment comes in all areas of our sport, but the one event runners shy away from is the steeplechase. The event at the freshmen level is measured over 2000 meters and has significant barriers and water pits that an athlete must navigate their way through. Tim Vadney of Seaford elected to participate in this event and finished in 4th place at the Freshmen League Championships scoring some much-needed points for the team. Tim remained dedicated to the event and ran it with great confidence and joy which earns him our Bernie Ward Commitment Award.
