Twenty-five W.T. Woodson senior athletes were honored Thursday, May 28 for the memories they made as Cavaliers and their decisions to produce more of them at the collegiate level.
Director of student activities Dan Checkosky opened the hour-long ceremony with a wide-ranging compilation of quotes, invoking the likes of George Will, Vince Lombardi and Joe Paterno.
After a round of individual introductions, a group photo was taken, as well as individual shots with each athlete and their parents. The ceremony, which took place in W.T. Woodson’s dance and gymnastics studio, was polished off with some cake, fruit and juice.
