Athletic Awards Night 2019

Daniel Clarke
The St. Luke’s Athletics Awards Night on Tuesday, May 28, celebrated the accomplishments of all 19 Upper School sports and our student-athletes.

The Seldin Performing Arts Center was filled with students, faculty, and family members who joined Athletic Director Mike West, Associate Athletic Director Jennifer Besgen, and Assistant Athletic Director Anna Knechtel to recognize the outstanding achievements of St. Luke's student-athletes and the community members who helped them succeed.

The St. Luke’s Athletic Department took a look back at all three seasons to honor 43 team captains, all the student-athletes who received honors for their representation of the Storm, and the faculty who supported our Middle School and Upper School teams.

Thirty-two three-sport athletes or team managers were recognized for their contributions across all three seasons. Kendall Boege ‘19, Riley Page ‘19, and Kirsten Pastore ‘19 received the Athlete of Distinction Award for their tremendous dedication to being multi-sport athletes, across all seasons, during their upper-school years at St. Luke’s.

A special mention was given to the 14 student-athletes who will continue their commitment to athletics at the collegiate level next year.

The 300+ attendees were treated to exquisite desserts provided by FLIK, and the online vote for the fan of the year was won by Oz Jensen ‘19.
