Senior Wins National Award for Sportsmanship
McDonogh senior Eleonore E. was presented with the 2016 DeRoy
Sportsmanship
Award at a ceremony during the 2016 U.S. Junior Squash Championships at
Harvard University on Saturday, March 12. The national award is given to one
female and one male high school senior who displays exemplary behavior on and
off court, while competing at a high level of squash.
“I’ve seen some of the best players win and lose, and at the end of the day,
what
really sticks with me is how they behave on court,” Eleonore said in an article on
ussquash.com. “I always try to model that. And I don’t want to have a defeat or a
win, but not feel like I earned it without acting properly on court.”
Peter Heffernan, Director of Squash at Meadow Mill Athletic Club
commented, “I
cannot think of a more deserving winner in the thirty plus years I have been
involved with junior squash. The level of sportsmanship Eleonore showed on
court the past three seasons, competing with the boys in the MIAA league as well
as on the national and international stage, was outstanding.”
In addition to playing on McDonogh’s co-ed varsity squash team, Eleonore
represented Team USA in the World Junior Championships and Battle of the
Border.
