At Solebury School's annual Athletic Banquet on Saturday, May 18, we honored our student-athletes and coaches. Director of Athletics Rob Eichem P'18 presented Emma Salerno '19 and Lucas Leguizamo '19 the prestigious Frank Ammirati Most Valuable Senior Athlete Award. The award typically goes to two athletes, one female and one male. "Both individuals are strong athletes, captains of their respective sports, and earned multiple letters and awards over their careers," Rob said before sharing the many accomplishments of Emma's and Lucas' athletic careers at Solebury. Tim Hall, our girls soccer coach, won Solebury's Coach of the Year Award. Tim also served as Solebury's lacrosse coach this spring.
Congratulations to Emma, Lucas, and Tim, as well as all of the student-athletes listed below!
