Boosters Award Ceremony and varsity lists

The WHS Athletic Boosters Award Ceremony will be held Thursday evening November 20th at 6 PM in the theater. Following the ceremony which will recognize athletes from all fall sports, we'll move on to room B244 (Coach Lehmann's classroom) for a separate, cross country only meeting which will begin within 10 minutes of the ending of the ceremony in the theater. At the breakout meeting we'll recognize the recipients of team-specific awards such as Most Improved, Rookie of the Year, and MVP. There will be some other, more light-hearted prizes given out as well. All are invited to attend and we hope to see you there! We also hope to be done by around 8 PM.

I also want to recognize on this blog the athletes on this year's team who earned varsity status. For this distinction, the coaching staff used the criteria listed below:

1. Athletes who competed at the MIAA EMass Divisional Championship meet. As our sport's version of the state tournament, this is the meet that features the top runners from each program.

2. Athletes who have participated in cross country at WHS for at least three years. This level of commitment and dedication to the team and the sport is worthy of recognition, as such any athlete with three or four years of participation is deserving of varsity status. The coaches will also consider seniors with two years of participation, depending on characteristics like attendance, attitude, and commitment to the team and their own improvement.

The boys varsity:

Eli Bucher
John Cocce
Nick Galang
Nick Greenwood
Addison Kay
Zach Last
Zhenyang Luo
Graham Macklin
Josh McCarthy
Tucker Moody

The girls varsity:

Kathleen Barrow
Sophia Butler
Jessie Henning
Julia Jofe
Emma Kiefer
Abby McCarthy
Caroline Provost
Maddy Schwartz
Erica Sheffres
Sarah Tully
