WAKEFIELD – Junior High and High School athletes in Wakefield were honored during their Athletic Boosters Athletic Banquet on Wednesday.
From the Civic Center in Wakefield, High School Athletic Director Matt Brenn thanked the Wakefield Athletic Boosters for organizing the banquet.
Wednesday’s banquet was an excellent way to cumulate the accomplishments of the individual athletes and teams at Wakefield High School.
The Athletic Director’s Athletes of the Year are selected by a point system based on participation, in-season performance, achievement and postseason recognition. Only juniors and seniors are eligible and an athlete may win more than once. Ties are possible, as are situations where there may be no winner at all and an athlete must earn at least 60 points during the course of the year to be eligible.
The 2021-22 Athletic Director’s Athletes of the Year in Wakefield are Aishah Valenzuela and Cade Johnson.
