US Athletes Honored at Awards Ceremony

Following the induction of new alumni into Ranney’s Athletic Hall of Fame, the Upper School hosted its annual Athletic Awards Convocation on Thursday, June 2 in RSPA Panther Hall. While the program recognized eight teams and their members from the spring season, it also highlighted the accomplishments of year-round athletes with the presentation of eight major awards.

In his welcoming remarks, Director of Athletics Thomas Moriau congratulated all spring teams on an outstanding season and thanked all parents and coaches for their support and dedication to the Ranney School athletic program. To each graduating senior, he added, “As you move forward in your life, don’t be afraid to set yourself apart from everybody else. If you want to be great in whatever you do, you have to be willing to set yourself apart.”

After receiving award certificates and individualized trophies from head spring coaches Brian Dolan, Christel Contrera, Noel Delgado, Ph.D., Nancy King, Alexis Snyder, Joseph Tweed, Michael Dunn, Christine Repoli, Christopher Meharg and Thomas Moriau, 26 deserving students were then called to the podium to receive major awards recognizing continuous athletic success and dedication throughout the 2010-2011 athletic year.

Presented by Head of School Dr. Lawrence S. Sykoff, the “Headmaster Senior Award” for outstanding contributions to the Athletic Department was given to Ranney Lifers Alexis Wyckoff ’11 and Stephen Triano ’11. Coach Michael Ling called Christopher Johnson ’11 and Michelle Drappi ’11 to the stage next as each was credited with “The Golden ‘R’ Prize” for best demonstrating qualities of leadership. Physical Education teacher and Activities Coordinator Ian McNamara presented juniors Anthony Papetti and Melissa Cantave with the “Junior Coaches Cup Award” in recognition of their sportsmanship, leadership, self-discipline, cooperation and enthusiasm this past school year.

Charlotte Fleming ’11 was named this spring’s “Eugenie B. Edwards Spirit of Tennis Scholarship” recipient. The “Eugenie B. Edwards” scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating female senior who best exhibits qualities of sportsmanship, team spirit and enthusiasm towards tennis and Ranney School. It is given in memory of the life of Genie Edwards ’88, who demonstrated these same qualities while a member and co-captain of the varsity girls’ tennis team.

Recipients of this year’s “Panther Pride Dedication and Commitment Award,” presented by Aquatics Director Emmett Walling, were Madison Boyan ’14, William Rotolo ’14, Veronika Fischer ’13, Maura Guyler ’12, Peter Goldberg ’12, Anton Yevelev ’11 and Jacqueline Korey ’11. Each was honored for his/her dedication and commitment to the Upper School athletic program. Also presented by Mr. Walling was the “Blue and White Leadership Award” for male and female senior-athletes who demonstrated leadership throughout their Ranney athletic careers. This award was given to Jonathan DeCarlo ’11 and Charlotte Fleming ’11.

Eight Ranney students received the “Athletic Director Award” from Mr. Moriau. Presented to one male and one female student from each of the four Upper School grade levels who was nominated “Athlete of the Year” by coaching staff, this year’s recipients included Alessandra Johnson ’14, Mackenzie Marcellino ’14, Brynn Bresnahan ’13, Omar Hozayen ’13, Evan Glazman ’12, Sarah Bartosh ’12, Adrianne Wyckoff ’11 and Christopher Johnson ’11.

Also, named “Athlete of the Year” for excelling in two or more varsity sports throughout 2010 and 2011 were Alexis Wyckoff ’11 and Madison Price ’13. In addition to award presentations, the program included a video of “The Year in Review,” as well as a closing reflection on “The Ranney Athletic Experience” by senior Charlotte Fleming.

Congratulations to all scholar-athletes on a successful year in athletics!
