Winter Sports Awards
1999/2000
Winter Sports Awards were presented at Sisters
High School
February 29, 2000 in the Cafetorium.
Most Improved Award
This young lady has perfected all four strokes within this season. Her
time drops in every discipline as well as her sheer determination to
excel
in the breaststroke earned her the Most Improved Award for the
1999/2000
season.
Congratulations,
Dana Hughie

Most Inspirational Award
This award goes to an athlete that had to overcome numerous obstacles
during
the season and the way she conquered them all gave me abundant reason
to
nominate her for the Most Inspirational Award. She honed her swimming
skills
in a pre competition class with a local club at the beginning of the
school
year, joined the SHS Swim Team as a home schooled student and became an
integral part of our team efforts.
Congratulations,

Most Valuable Award
In her fourth season on the Sisters High School Swim Team, Hilary won
the
majority of all events entered during the 1999/2000 season. She
remained
victorious in defending her District title in the 200 I.M. and was
runner-up
in the 100 yds breaststroke. Inspite of a lengthy recovery from rotator
cuff repair, she represented Sisters High School at the State
Championships
and finished in fifth place in the Individual Medley.
Congratulations,
Hilary Hedemark

Most Improved Award
This young athlete came to High School Swimming with rather limited
skills
but quickly developed into a leader in the water. He not only mastered
the flip turns in record time, coached his peers in this elusive skill,
but also improved his backstroke to the point of setting a new Sisters
High School record by the end of the season.
Congratulations,

Most Inspirational Award
This swimmer inspired me in many ways. He is one of those multi
talented
people that is artistic, musical and athletic all in one. Football
season
was not kind to him, he came off the field as a kicker with a broken
foot,
had to be replaced and the team went on to win the State Championships
the second year in a row without him. Nevertheless, he came to the
pool,
a bit for therapy, a bit for social involvement and maybe some for
training
as well. His stamina, form and sheer desire to do well made him the
fastest
sprinter of the group. He broke the Sisters High School 50 free record
and barely missed a medal at the District Championships.
Congratulations,

Most Valuable Award
This young swimmer was very likely the most talented swimmer. All
his strokes are excellent and his endurance is one of a kind. During
our
high school competitions, he was willing to swim any event and he
amassed
the most points for the team on the boys' side. He is definitely one to
watch for in the next few years. Several high school records will be
carrying
his name.
Congratulations,
Kevin Carlsmith
