Spring 2024 Varsity Athletic Awards

The Marianapolis Athletics Department hosted the Spring Varsity Athletic Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. This event, filled with excitement and pride, was a testament to the spirit of our community and the memories we've created together during the spring season.
 

Jacque Rivera, Athletic Director, began the ceremony by expressing his appreciation and gratitude for our spring athletes, coaches, and families. Their unwavering support and dedication mean the world to our athletic department and the Marianapolis community.
 

Birdie Forgues ‘24, our esteemed host, was welcomed back for the final time. She took a moment to recognize her fellow Class of 2024 members, underlining that it was their twelfth and final Marianapolis Athletic Awards. They have journeyed far over the past four years and are deeply grateful for the athletic opportunities they've been blessed with.

“Personally, it has been such a pleasure to represent MPrep Softball this spring,” said Forgues. “It was wonderful to watch and support all my classmates.”

Forgues concluded the evening by leaving a message of hope and excitement for the future. She wished all student-athletes luck in their upcoming seasons, knowing they will continue to play their best and achieve incredible goals. After all, as Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” 
  

Congratulations to our spring athletes, award recipients, and coaches!
