Wheaton had personal bests in winning the High Jump (5' 0") and the 300m Hurdles (48.72). She also ran the lead leg for the winning 4x100m relay and finished second in the 100. An all around fantastic meet!

Haleigh Bowler
Winter Spirit, Junior

Bowler upped her game for us at New England's by upgrading an additional tumbling pass to beef up our over-all impression. She has the most demanding routine for PAVC and delivered it this past weekend with grit and gumption to help the team capture our 13th NE and Grand Championship title. She is point flyer for PAVC and never leaves the front row in any segment over the course of 3 minutes to help carry the scoresheet. “Piper” has displayed tremendous heart and leadership and shows up for her team day in and day out. She truly bleeds PAVC pride.

Sara DiClemente
Winter Spirit, Freshman

DiClemente helped the team win its 31st state title on Thursday by putting her big routine together perfectly for the Astros. She helped to carry the tumbling score throwing 2 elite passss. She wears many hats throughout the 3 minutes, starting the routine as a backspot, then moving to a sidebase position in our elite stunt and finally acting as a main base in the pyramid. Sara’s determination was a driving factor behind this state championship for her team.

Riley Dunn
Girls Ice Hockey, Sophomore

Dunn scored five of our eight goals in two playoff games. She scored two versus Lebanon and netted a hat trick against the number one ranked team Oyster River.

Shelby Scott
Winter Spirit, Sophomore

Scott, the little dynamo in her first year as a part of this program, went from her tumbling role as assigned to basing all of the builds in the routine in just a few short weeks this season. Although Shelby is small in stature, her heart and determination are bigger than life. She has stepped up and into these roles because the team needed her, pushing herself and her capabilities. She is a true team player in every definition. Her tumbling helps to carry our score, she jumps front row and even acts as a back spot in the pyramid. Shelby is unstoppable.

Kelsey Dionne
Winter Spirit, Freshman

Dionne is a main base and side base throughout the routine throwing the majority of the elite tumbling skills for the team as a freshman. She is in the most difficult part of the pyramid and tackles every piece of her assigned routine with ease. She displays heart and passion at every practice working harder than the day before.

Lorenzo Corsetto
Boys Ice Hockey, Junior

Corsetto has constantly worked hard every game and it was due to his hard forecheck that forced a Londonderry turnover which he scored on en route to a Pinkerton victory on Wednesday.

Kiareese Perez
Winter Spirit, Freshman

Perez is a flyer for PAVC and had an outstanding day on Saturday with her routine start to finish. She throws some of the bigger skills and debuted her aerial front walkover for competition. She is in the front for most of the routine in a high profile spot and performed in such a way that demanded you watch her. She used her adrenaline to her advantage in our season opener and kept her composure bringing out her best skills for us, and helped us win the Cap City competition.

Ava Sezgin
Alpine Skiing, Junior

Sezgin led her team in points in the Slalom and GS throughout the Season scoring team firsts in 8 or 9 races. At the state finals on Monday, she was again our top racer in both disciplines scoring team firsts in Giant Slalom (13th overall) and a team first in the Slalom (11th overall). She displayed focus, intensity, and consistency throughout the season while at the same time skiing very fast which is no easy feat. Way to be a leader on the snow, Ava!
