4 Meriden Students Named CIAC Scholar-Athletes

Story by the CAS-CIAC

MERIDEN, CT — Three hundred fifty-four senior student athletes will be honored as CIAC Scholar Athletes at the 34th Annual CAS-CIAC Scholar Athlete Banquet at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington Sunday night. The event is the largest of the many honors programs CAS-CIAC hosts each year.

The Scholar Athlete program recognizes two high school senior student-athletes – one boy and one girl – from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievement are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage. The honorees are chosen by the member schools and are submitted to the CIAC.

Maloney’s Madison Papallo and Jonathan Goodman, along with Platt’s Ava Misner and Kevin Perez, will be among the students to be honored during the ceremony.

More than 1,700 students, family members, school administrators and coaches are expected to be on hand to salute the Scholar Athletes and recognize their achievements. Dr. Jennifer Monti, one of the most decorated high school girls basketball in Connecticut history whose achievements include State Player of the year honors as a senior at Ellington High School, and now a cardiologist in Portland, Maine will deliver the keynote address.

ESPN anchor Bob Picozzi will serve as the host for the evening and Simsbury High School senior Danny Deitz will also be recognized with the Michael H.Savage Spirit of Sport Award.
