Each week, we highlight two student-athletes (modified, mod 9, frosh, JV or varsity level) for athletic accomplishments based on the following criteria:
- The athlete should have made a significant impact on a contest within the nomination timeframe, which is the week prior to selection; or
- The athlete must have shown excellent leadership, sportsmanship, noticeable improvement or effort, community service and/or other notable traits.
Congratulations to Simona Scavio (Varsity Gymnastics) and Kiernan Wendling (Varsity Swimming & Diving) for earning DOW (Dutchmen of the Week) honors for the week of December 8th.
Simona Scavio (Varsity Gymnastics)
Simona received 1st place on Beam and Floor, 3rd place on Vault and All Around at our dual meet against Shaker/Colonie. Great job Simona, keep up the hard work this season!
Kiernan Wendling (Varsity Swimming & Diving)
Kiernan started the season with consecutive diving wins and a personal best score improved by over 20 points! The Guilderland-Voorheesville Swim & Dive Team opened up the season against a tough Schenectady-Colonie Team. While the Guilderland-Voorheesville Team won the meet, Kiernan was the only athlete to win their individual event. Later that week Kiernan took first place in diving against Albany High and set a new personal best time of 28.45 in the 50 freestyle.
