Student-Athletes Celebrated at Annual WILLCO Awards

WCS student-athletes were the stars of the show at the 11th Annual WILLCO Awards on June 10.

The WILLCO Awards is an annual event celebrating student-athletes and coaches for their achievements throughout the school year. Students are entered in more than 25 categories, including Top Female and Male Athletes, Football Player of the Year and more.

"The WILLCO Awards give us an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our top performing athletes, coaches and teams at one event," said WCS Athletics Director Darrin Joines. "Without question, being one of the four finalists in any category is an honor, with winning a WILLCO serving as the icing on the cake to a great year. It's a special night for the students and their families, and I'm just so proud of what these young men and women have accomplished. Congratulations to all of this year's finalists and winners."

In addition to the sport-specific categories, several other awards were announced during the ceremony, including the Student-Athlete of the Year, the John Maher Builders Sportsmanship Award, the Sponsor of the Year, the Courage Award and the Female and Male Multi-Sport Athlete of the Year.
