On Thursday, May 15, we proudly hosted the Class of 2025 Collegiate Athlete Celebration, honoring more than 20 senior student-athletes who have committed to continuing their athletic careers at the collegiate level. Whether competing at the NCAA Division I, II, or III level, each student-athlete was recognized for their dedication, perseverance, and achievements in sports.
The celebration began with remarks from Athletic Director Anthony Bianchi and Aquinas President Dave Eustis, who shared their pride in the students’ accomplishments and praised the strong support system of families, coaches, and faculty who helped guide them to this exciting next step.
The Robert B. Wegman ’37 Field House was filled with families, friends, coaches, faculty/staff, and local media—including Karen and Gerard Iglesia of PrimeTime585 and Terry Hancock ’83 of 13WHAM. The crowd reflected the enthusiasm of our school community as we honored the impressive accomplishments of these young men and women. Thank you to everyone who came out and showed their support!
A special thanks to all who helped make the event truly memorable, and to the families whose unwavering support continues to play a vital role in this journey.
