Um, before I mention his name, I'd like to also uh mention that he was the recipient of a $100 scholarship from the Hall of Fame, which has just started up this year.

031allcount award and the representative of West Milford. So, that's great. Also, our representative, our nominee for the Pay County female athlete of the year is Abigail Porch. Abby is also the recipient of the $100 scholarship from the Hall of Fame. Next, next um the New Jersey State Intercolastic Athletic Association and the Star Ledger has an award called the National Girls and Women in Sports Award. It's been going on for many, many years. Our coaches vote and this year's recipients uh is Danielle Dilapy. Danielle is here. Danielle is also the recipient, similar to AJ, of the records I am sport award and will be attending. Come on Daniel, you can come up uh Thursday night as well at the Bergen Pack. This next award, I I don't know if I see him um here, but I
032just have to mention briefly. This next award is something that our coaches nominate student athletes every year. um and they do so um and every year we have a nominee but this year we have someone who actually is a recipient um one of the few recipients of if you ever seen in the Bergen record the athlete of the week Charlie McIll is the one who illustrates that athlete of the week. So this year's uh this year Westboard High School was fortunate enough to have Riley Babett win the Charlie McIll scholarship and he too will be attending uh at the Bergen Pack on Thursday evening. This next student athlete um was the recipient for West Milford for the New Jersey State Intercolastic Athletic Association Scholar Athlete of the Year, Alex Metaf. and our Big North Conference,

Um, next I want to recognize students that competed in Science Olympiad this year, but I want to do a quick shout out to the coaches who aren't here, Dina Pisino and Joseph Petrosce, not only did they take on the high school team, but when I said to them, it would be great if we had a Makapin team. And nobody at Makapin had the time really to fit
035that in at the last minute. They said, "Sure, we'll take that team, too." So, that was pretty exciting. And um we came home with some medals from the regional competition. So, Richard Sadolei and Wyatt Space won third place for ecology and sixth place for Write It. Do it. Are you here, guys? No. Okay. Well, let's give them a round of applause. Um Elizabeth Lynn and Rachel Rodriguez. Um, not only did they win sixth place for helicopter, but they actually won an award for an event that they weren't even in. So, in order to, it was pretty fun. So, in order to keep the ceremony going, they just went up there and took it and then later went up and explained to the judges that they didn't compete. So, we got we got, you know, bonus
036points for our honesty. So, here we go. Sixth place for helicopter. Um, and then this last one was uh first place for the mousetrap car. And here I'm going to give you two seconds of what a bad mom I am because I watched this mousetrap car go back and forth in my kitchen for weeks. And the day of the competition as they were announcing the winners, they go from sixth place to first. And when they hit third, I looked over at the team and I'm like, we didn't win. And not only did we win, but we won first place, Timothy Maggas. [Applause] Um, two more things. We need to recognize the um New Jersey Governor's School for Engineering and Technology.
