On April 22, the Varsity Sports Awards was held in Harbor Hall. This was when people who had joined a Varsity sport would get acknowledgment for all the blood, sweat, and tears they sacrificed to fight for Dalat.
Many amazing athletes got the recognition they deserved. Some notable people are Romeo Kontsas (11), Isaac Lee (12), Naomi Weidemann (12), Josia DeJager (12), Joshua Morrison (12), DJ Yost (12), Caitlin Chan (11), and Alexia Nyul (12), who all got awarded MVP in their respective sports.
Although many people got different awards, one athlete stood above the rest of the players. One exceptional athlete who was in soccer, basketball, and track, where he broke multiple ACSC and school records for his sprints—the Male Athlete of the Year, Kyle Tang.
The following quote is what Kyle Tang (12) had to say about his achievements: "Winning athlete of the year is an incredible honor, especially with the amount of sacrifices I've spent improving myself as a person and athlete. I am also grateful for the many opportunities I have been able to represent Dalat this year, and I am forever thankful for them."
Although the night's primary purpose was awarding athletes for their achievements, a team is not only made up of the players. There is one person on a team that is the anchor. An anchor that holds everything together and makes the players thrive as a team. Above everyone else, we appreciate our coaches from every sport. The amount of effort, dedication, and time that they sacrificed did not go unnoticed. The coaches are the most important person on the team and the most important part of Dalat Athletics.
This event perfectly wrapped up all the impressive milestones and achievements the athletes of Dalat have accomplished during these three sports seasons. With everything ending this year, we will have to thank all the coaches, assistant coaches, and our Athletic Director, Mr. Ulmer, for allowing everyone to fight for and represent Dalat.
