Winter Sports Awards

Winter Sports Awards were presented at Sisters High School on Monday, March 8, 1999.

Jamie Cundiff

Most Improved Award

This award went to a young lady who was plagued by illness and disqualifications in the breaststroke to the point that she wanted to give it up altogether and swim any other discipline. With a little encouragement she managed to accomplish the mastery of this technically difficult stroke, swim it at districts and drop more than seven seconds off her entry time.

The most improved award goes to 

Jamie Cundiff.

 
Shanna Timms
Most Inspirational Award

The most inspirational award goes to a young lady that was one of the hardest workers this season overall. She barely missed a berth to the State Championships last year and was determined that she would make the trip in 1999.

Many days did she swim  additional yardage to bring down her times. It did not work very well during the season but she never gave up. 

Her determination and sheer will to excel paid of at districts with a best time in the 50 free, which gained her the coveted anchor spot on the medley relay. The most inspirational award goes to 

Shanna Timms


 
Hilary Hedemark
Most Valuable Award

This award goes to the young lady that has consistently accumulated the most points for the Sisters High School swim team. She lead off or  anchored winning relays and swam to new high school, district and state records.

She is the current State record holder in the 500 yds freestyle and the 200 yds Individual Medley and holds district records in the 500 yds freestyle, 200 yds freestyle, 200 yds Individual Medley and 100 yds backstroke.

The most valuable award goes to 

Hilary Hedemark
 

 
 
Most Improved Award

This award goes to a young man that a very accomplished athlete in another discipline. He struggled in the beginning of training to the point that he said to me over and over , "I'll quit!". He just couldn't improve his stamina. He did not quit, but instead showed at districts, what he is really made of and dropped his 100 yds freestyle time from a 1:25 to a 1:15. 

The Most Improved Award goes to 
David Martin

Most Inspirational Award

The Most Inspirational Award goes to an athlete that showed every day that he is capable of doing anything he sets his mind to. He was a decent freestyler to begin with but had very little or no skills in any of the other strokes. During his shortened season he managed to learn all four strokes legally and picked the butterfly as one of his favorites. 

The Most Inspirational Award goes to
Eli Pyke
Most 
Valuable Award

This award goes to a swimmer that was determined to change some names on the High School record board and he did.
He currently holds the best mark in the 200 yds freestyle and the 100 yds butterfly.
He also made the 200 yds Individual Medley his specialty and was always willing to swim whatever event needed a competitor,  in order to score for the Outlaws. 

The Most Valuable award goes to
Scott Bulloch
