2021 High School Impact Senior Team
|
This year, the NFHCA has created the High School IMPACT Senior Team to recognize members of the graduating class of 2021 whose senior seasons may have been impacted by COVID-19. The committee designed the award to honor the entirety of senior student-athletes’ careers and particularly recognize an individual’s accomplishments on and off the pitch, distinguished leadership, and team achievement. This award is in lieu of All-Region and All-American Awards that had been named in the past. Student-athletes had to meet three of five character criteria — covering items like community service and leadership roles — and five of ten athletic criteria to be eligible for recognition.

Congratulations to the following student-athletes:
Lily Baker, MICDS, Gateway Suzy Keefer, Villa Duchesne, Gateway Taryn Tkachuk, Villa Duchesne, Gateway For a complete list, click here. |
