Athletic Awards 2024
Student-athletes were recognized for their commitment and tenacity.
With a unified display of Torrey pride, students and faculty were dressed in a sea of blue as they gathered in the amphitheater on May 14 for the Upper School spring athletic awards assembly. Spring sports coaches shared the highlights from their season and presented awards, including the most improved and valuable players.
Athletes from the 2023–2024 school year were also awarded CD letters, sports pins, service bars and championship patches, indicating how many years they’ve participated and how far the team advanced.
Distinct recognition goes to the 36 driven Upper School student-athletes who brought their A-game by participating in three or four sports across the 2023–2024 fall, winter and spring seasons. During the assembly, their dedication, versatility, and ambition were commended, and they were awarded an exclusive patch and certificate.
