2018 Athletic Awards Ceremony Honors Student Athletes
The 2018 Athletic Awards Ceremony, 五月九日举行, honored the performances and achievements of more than 70 student athletes who participated in athletics at Landmark College this year, 18 of whom received individual awards recognizing their accomplishments.
Landmark College alumnus 库尔特Wagenbach (‘98), 一个马拉松运动员, 铁人铁人三项选手, and retired Vermont State Police detective, took the podium for the keynote speech, telling current student athletes about how he discovered running at Landmark College when a fellow student, 现在是他的妻子, 凯瑟琳, asked him to go for a run, and sharing the story of his first marathon with former Landmark College professor Rick Matte. “Running was my secret weapon,” Kurt told the audience. “It made my body feel good, and it made my brain feel good. It also appeared to make my brain work much better, as far as school work was concerned.” Kurt and 凯瑟琳 still live in Putney, and have two children together, their sons Kemp and Kole.
在库尔特, each coach presented team awards, honoring student athletes in each sport with Most Valuable, 进步最快, 及教练奖, and in some cases special awards honoring the unique contributions of additional athletes. 后, four individuals received overall awards for their accomplishments during the 2017-2018 athletic season.
品牌马里昂, who plays both basketball and baseball for Landmark College, was named 2018 Male Athlete of the Year and also presented with the Jim Austin Integrity in Sports Award by baseball coach John Wood. 队友 将Mauch, who participates in the same sports, received 2018 Scholar Athlete Award. 棒球运动员 格斯Zarefsky took home the George Noble Dedication to Team Award, while Broadbent Inna, who plays softball and basketball, was named 2018 Female Athlete of the Year.
