MADISON’S AD AWARD: Madison High School senior baseball player Chris Polymeropoulos recently received the school’s Athletic Director’s Award.
John Kenny, Madison’s director of student activities, said the award is given to a senior who is the epitome of a high-school athlete, leader, student-athlete and classmate.
“He is supportive of his peers, kind to everyone and demonstrates a level of maturity appreciated by all who come in contact with him,” Kenny said.
Polymeropoulos would have been the baseball team’s starting catcher during the spring season, which was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He will continue playing baseball at Roanoke College, but first this summer for the Bunt Cakes of the new Northern Virginia College Baseball League, expected to begin in July and last for five weeks.
LANGLEY SPRING SPORTS PROGRAM: Even though there were no high-school sports this spring, the Langley High School Athletic Boosters still published its spring athletic program, dedicating it to the school’s 2020 senior class.
Each Langley spring athlete will receive a copy of the program as a gift from the boosters. Any seniors or anyone interested in obtaining the program should contact Becky Zeiller at bzeiller@verizon.net.
