Hillary Collins Awarded "Champions of Character" Award


Friday May 15th was the athletic department's end of year banquet (read: extremely claustrophobic awards reception where athletes dress fancy and stand around awkwardly). Each sport chooses three members of both the men's and women's teams to receive honors such as "most valuable player", "best newcomer", and my personal favorite, "most durable player", whatever that means.

Women's tennis awarded Hillary Collins the "Champions of Character" award for displaying exceptional sportsmanship both on and off the court. Her teammates Romina Mrochen and Charlotte debrey also received recognition for "upperclassman of the year" and "most vaulable player" respectively.

The Men's team awarded Yusuke Kasuda the "outstanding newcomer award". Yusuke sheepishly accepted his award on Friday amidst raucus cheers from his teammates. Dean Loock confusedly received the "most durable player" award while his teammate Caan Yaylali received the "most valuable player" award.



Coach Keenan was also honored at Friday's banquet for reaching an astounding 100 wins during his 11th season as head coach of the SCAD Tennis team.
