On June 8, Ellenville student-athletes and their families came together for an evening of celebration—a banquet followed by an awards ceremony honoring standout performances from the Winter and Spring seasons.
One by one, coaches took the stage to recognize the athletes on their teams, sharing personal tributes that spoke to more than wins and losses. These awards celebrate the full picture of what it means to be a Blue Devil: hard work, persistence, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship.
Winter and Spring athletes were honored across every program, a reminder of the remarkable balance our student-athletes strike between competition and the classroom. The evening's final moments belonged to our Varsity 8 and Lamps of Knowledge recipients—multi-sport standouts and academic achievers who represent the best of Ellenville athletics.
To every athlete recognized, and to every one who suited up this year: this community is proud of you. Thank you for the heart and determination you bring to everything you do.
Please join us in congratulating our awardees and all of the hardworking athletes who bring Blue Devil pride to every match, race, and pursuit!
