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 Hasika Donepudi (Varsity Gymnastics) and Tyler Witazek (Varsity Basketball) for earning DOW (Dutchmen of the Week) honors for the week of December 1st.
Hasika Donepudi (Varsity Gymnastics)
Hasika is working so hard this season. In our first meet on Saturday, Dec. 6th at Shaker, she took 1st place in All Around, 3rd place on floor exercise, 4th on Uneven Bars, and 4th on Vault. She always puts her best efforts forward and we can’t wait to see where this season takes her! Way to go Hasika!

Tyler Witazek (Varsity Basketball)
The senior captain set the tone on opening night, powering the Dutchmen to a victory at Ichabod Crane with a dominant double-double. Tyler erupted for 27 points and hauled in 12 rebounds showcasing the experience and intensity he’s built over four varsity seasons. Projected to be one of the top players in both the Suburban Council and Section 2, Tyler has Dutchmen basketball fans fired up for what’s ahead this season.
