RamNation Seniors Honored at Athletic Awards Night

The Athletic Department hosted the annual Senior Athletic Awards Night on Sunday. This ceremony honored all seniors that have earned five or more varsity letters during their MICDS athletic careers.

When asked about the awards, Athletic Director Josh Smith said, «This award is more than just a plaque. It is an indicator of a student athlete’s commitment and perseverance. It is a reminder of their passion for sports. It honors the hundreds of hours of practice and the successes and lessons learned at competitions through the years. It is a memento of the Ram family that they will always be a part of. Most importantly, it is something I hope they can look at years from now and know that MICDS is proud to call them a Ram.»

At the ceremony, Smith announced that there are 41 members of the Class of 2019 who qualified for the award, for a total of 275 varsity letters. He said, «Think about how much time that is? Truly the blood, sweat, and tears that pace our teams.» He thanked the students and their parents, «Tonight is a night where our athletic department can say thank you as we recognize some special student-athletes. Your passion and commitment are a major reason why athletics at our school are known throughout the area, and tonight is a chance for us to acknowledge that.»
