 The
second annual Jeffrey T. Hayden Memorial Award was presented at the
Lakota Ridge Fall Sports Awards Banquet on October 26, 2005. This award
is given out each fall to just one of the almost two hundred 7th and 8th
grade student-athletes. Each coach nominated 2 athletes which gave the
selection committee 14 deserving candidates to choose from. The list was
then narrowed down to 3 and the tough decision was finally made.
This year’s award was presented to Lakota Ridge 8th grade
student-athlete Josh Freson. Josh, a football player at Lakota Ridge,
was chosen for the award because he exemplifies the special
characteristics of Jeffrey Hayden. Josh is a good friend to others, who
works hard in practice and on game day, and most of all, excels in the
classroom. In addition, Josh was chosen because he is a positive
influence to those around him and courageous in the face of adversity.
As part of the award, Josh received an individual plaque and his name
will be engraved on a permanent plaque that is on display at Lakota
Ridge Junior School.
Congratulations Josh!
