The Woodstock Academy celebrated the 2020-21 athletic season with its annual Senior Athletic Awards Night. The highlight of the night was the announcement of the Outstanding Senior Athletes of the Year.
Guerin Favreau received the boys’ award as he was a standout on both the ice in hockey and on the turf in boys’ lacrosse. Favreau finished with 218 career points after scoring 71 goals and assisting on 35 others in his senior season. Favreau’s ice hockey career was cut a bit short as the Centaurs played only a handful of games this season. He finished with 33 goals and seven assists as a junior on the ice.
Field hockey standout Eliza Dutson was named the girls’ Outstanding Senior Athlete of the Year. Dutson was just the third player in the history of the girls’ field hockey program to achieve first team All-State status which she accomplished in the fall. She was also named to the Academic All-State team. Dutson was a charter member of the girls’ ice hockey program at the Academy and was the team’s leading scorer in her junior season when she finished with six goals and four assists. Dutson was also a member of the girls’ lacrosse team this past spring.
