Spring Sports MVPs Named at ALJ Awards Ceremony

On Thursday, the Arthur L. Johnson Athletic Department held their 2013 Spring Athletic Awards. The evening was sponsored by the Crusader Athletic Booster Club.

All the spring athletic teams and their seasons were highlighted by their coaches while handing out letters and awards to the student athletes. More than 110 varsity athletic letters were handed out throughout the evening, as participation in athletics at Arthur L. Johnson High School continues to grow.

The program continued with the Student Athlete Award, which was presented by Principal Rick Delmonaco. The Student Athlete Award is given out each athletic season to a student athlete that is not only a champion on the field, but in the classroom as well. The 2013 Spring Student Athlete award recipient was Patricia Bailey.

The evening culminated with the announcement of the Team Most Valuable Players. The MVPs were: Baseball – John Stauffer, Golf – David Berry, Lacrosse – Sean Myers, Softball – Jamie Cheeka, Tennis – James Douglas, Boys’ Spring Track & Field – Michael Vieira, Girls’ Spring Track & Field – Cristina DeCristofaro.

“The spring sports awards was a wonderful event that allowed the administration, teachers, coaches, parents, and student athletes a chance to reflect on a wonderful spring sports season while honoring our student athletes for their remarkable accomplishments," said Supervisor of Athletics, Health, and Physical Education, Gus Kalikas. "Our teams, coaches and student athletes continue to raise the bar both in the classrooms and on the athletic fields, and the Clark School District could not be more proud of their performance this past spring sports season.”
