Fall Sports Athletes Inducted; Greeley Sports Boosters Honor Board
There was an elite gathering of Greeley athletes at the Horace Greeley Gymnasium on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. The athletes, representing every fall season sport, were present to receive their post-season All-League, All-County and/or All-Section honors. This season had a record number of Greeley athletes receiving awards – 46 in all. The Greeley Sports Booster Honor Board houses a plaque for each athlete on the gymnasium wall.
The ceremony was conducted by Horace Greeley Athletic Director Steve Young who asked each of the teams to stand and then spoke about the teams’ seasons to the assembly of parents sitting in the bleachers. Young then announced the name of each athlete from the team standing and cited her or his accomplishments and awards.
The athletes stood proudly, but were endearingly humbled by the recognition in front of their peers and parents present. The complete list of the honorees is at the end of this column, but you should take some time to visit the gym and view the Honor Board…..it is impressive!
Congratulations to all athletes. Your achievements on behalf of Greeley Athletics not only deserve recognition, but also a thank you from the community for your athleticism, sportsmanship and dedication and for representing the best of Horace Greeley High School as scholar-athletes.
Special recognition was given to two coaches - Suzanne Guziec, Head Coach of the Girls’ Swimming and Diving Team, was selected by The Journal News as the Section One Swim Coach of the Year and Erin Tracy, Head Coach of the Girls’ Soccer Team was named the League’s Coach of the Year.
The Booster Honor Board Induction Ceremony is open to all. The next ceremony will be held in the early spring for the winter season sports after the honors are voted on by the coaches. The spring season honor ceremony is held during June.
