New Prague High School held its Honors Night, Wednesday, May 7, with students being recognized for the arts, sports and academics. There were also several thousands of dollars awarded through scholarships. A highlight of the evening was the first ever co-winners of the Outstanding Senior Female Athlete award.
Activities Director Brad Skogerboe presented plaques to Ava Bruegger, who has been involved in girls’ swimming and diving, gymnastics and girls’ track and field, and Katie Boulanger, who has been active in girls’ volleyball, girls basketball and softball.
“There has never been a tie before,” said Skogerboe. “Head coaches did the voting and they (Bruegger and Boulanger) had the same number of votes.” “I was surprised, because there are a lot of athletes who deserve it,” said Bruegger daughter of Megan and Randal Bruegger, about being a cowinner of the award.
“I was surprised there wasn’t two winners for the boys.”
