WOODSTOCK — The spring athletic season for The Woodstock Academy ended June 12 with the annual Spring Sports Awards Night at the Center for the Arts on South Campus.
More than 300 student-athletes took part in spring athletics at the Academy this year and many of them were recognized for their achievements both on the field and in the classroom.
A special sport award was handed out at the beginning of the awards presentation with the Class of 1971 William Bertrand Golf Award given to Linda St. Laurent and Justin Marcotte. The award is in honor of a golfer who strives to make the most of his or her abilities.
Woodstock Academy senior Madison Brennan received special recognition from coach Kathleen Johnson for scoring more than 100 goals in her girls’ lacrosse career for the Centaurs.
Sophomore baseball player Tommy Li was also recognized for his pitching a no-hitter in his first varsity start for the Centaurs.
The girls’ golf team received the team grade point average award as it posted a collective 3.475, that was just 40-one hundredths of a point better than the girls’ tennis team at 3.435 with the girls’ outdoor track team coming in with the bronze at 3.414.
The girls’ tennis team did get an award.
It was named the best-dressed team of the night by the Assistant Head of the School for Enrollment, Amy Favreau.
