We started with a new category of Scholastic Athletes. All students participating on three or more school athletic teams and holding an 80% or greater average received certificates of accomplishment. The Carman Collegiate Scholastic Athlete of the Year was then presented to Jay Ort. Jay was involved in Cross Country, Track, and Badminton while maintaining an above 95% academic average. Jay will be attending the University of Tulsa next year to continue with his Cross Country Running while taking Chemical Engineering.

The final major award presentation of the evening saw us dedicate the Coaches' Award for Dedication and Determination to Mr. Lyle Myers. Mr. Myers is at the Collegiate every morning at 7:00 am, coaching upcoming runners and helping them recognize their abilities. The recipients of the Lyle Myers' Coaches Award, awarded to the grade 12 student showing determination and dedication throughout their athletic career were Jordan Riddell and Maddi Gylywoychuk-Winkler.
The evening then ended with the presentation of MHSAA Provincial Certificates of all students who went to provincials. Many of teams competed at the provincial level, with our JV Boys Volleyball capturing bronze, and our SV Boys Volleyball team capture the Provincial Championship. Congratulations to all our athletes on a great year!
