Congratulations 63rd Annual Awards Winners!
Wakefield High School seniors were saluted as Male and Female Athletes of the Year at annual banquet of the Better Sports Club of Arlington.
The 63rd annual event, held June 5 at the Knights of Columbus, which was packed with athletes, family members, coaches and friends.
Wakefield’s Lorenzo Rajaonarievelo, who won a state wrestling championship at the 160-pound weight class and will wrestle at George Mason University, was named the club’s 2019 Male High School Student Athlete of the Year. His Wakefield classmate, University of Virginia-bound multi-sport competitor Lucy Greenfield, was chosen the Female High School Student Athlete of the Year.
Wakefield’s longtime wrestling coach, Jeff Humphries, was named the Arlington Coach of the Year. Humphries has coached the Wakefield team for 26 years, the second-longest tenure of any head high-school wrestling coach in the old Northern Region alignment, and said he has no interest in stepping down.
The club’s Arlington Sportsperson of the Year was Shirley Brothwell, a longtime Arlington Little League volunteer, wearing many hats for the organization. The Club’s Member of the Year and President’s Award went to Phyllis O’Dell, presented by club president Chris Valtin.
