He was the North sectional champion in the 100-yard breaststroke as a junior and a runner-up in the sectional and the state as a senior. He holds two state records as a member of Weston’s 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams and he has been a vital part of the school’s streak of seven consecutive state titles.

Dana Svendsen, North Andover  TUFTS
		Perhaps all you need to know about Svendsen can be found in this comment from her field hockey coach Dianne Freiermuth: "There are few high school students who can do it all and do it well. Dana is one of them." A three-sport athlete, she was an integral part of North Andover’s Division 2 North sectional field hockey championship in 2003. As a senior, she led the team in scoring with eight goals and five assists. She also runs indoor and outdoor track and is a member of the school record-holding 4x1600 relay team (23 minutes 7 seconds) and was a Cape Ann League All-Star in the indoor season as a mile runner. She captained three teams in her senior year — field hockey, and indoor and outdoor track. Svendsen is the editor of the school newspaper and is a member of both the marching and concert bands. She is ranked second in her class with a 5.676 GPA, and was awarded the Harvard Book Award and the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Award in conjunction with the University of Rochester this year. Not surprisingly, her peers at North Andover voted her "The Most Likely to Succeed."

Matthew Nuzzo, Everett  BROWN
		The Nuzzo name won’t soon be forgotten. Nuzzo secured his legacy by leading Everett to four EMass Division 1 Super Bowls, winning three. The team’s quarterback, he rushed for 2,304 yards, scored 29 touchdowns, and passed for 2,268 yards and 31 touchdowns. He owns school records for touchdown passes and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. In his career, in which he was a four-year starter, he compiled a 43-2 record. He was a two-time Globe All-Scholastic and was selected the 2004 Division 1 Player of the Year. Everett football coach John DiBiaso called Nuzzo’s accomplishments "nothing short of amazing." Nuzzo also plays baseball and is a three-time Greater Boston League All-Star and this spring was an All-Scholastic. He is a National Honor Society member and was involved with the Big Brother and the Walk for Hunger. Nuzzo, who will play football at Brown, finished eighth in his class with a grade point average of 4.4. Nuzzo will be missed at Everett, according to guidance counselor Paul Enfanto. "He is the type of student-athlete that comes along every so often," Enfanto said.

Valerie Beckwith, Woburn  BATES
		Pick a stat, any stat, and Beckwith has one that will impress. On the basketball floor, she scored more than 1,000 points in her career, averaging 21.5 points, 14 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals a game in her senior year. She was voted the team MVP, was named to the Massachusetts All-Academic first team, and was a three-time Middlesex League All-Star.

She ranks fourth in a class of 356 and scored 1250 on her SATs. Her volunteer efforts have included working at Giving Camp, a camp for mentally retarded children and adults. Woburn basketball coach Bill Cantillon said Beckwith’s accomplishments on and off the athletic fields "portray an individual whose presence and leadership is a wonderfully positive and significant influence on both the school and overall community."

Albert Dellorco, Franklin  TUFTS
		Dellorco, or "Jake" as his friends know him, compiled impressive stats as a two-way player at Franklin. In his three-year career at quarterback, he threw for 2,700 yards and 26 touchdowns; he patrolled the secondary as safety on defense. After captaining the football team and earning Hockomock League All-Star honors, he captained the basketball this season and averaged 8 points and nine rebounds, and went on to captain the baseball team as a left fielder. Dellorco picked up the Sons of Italy Athletic Award this year for his accomplished athletic career. "Jake’s commitment to everything he does is total," Franklin principal John Lucas said.

Katherine Riera, Medway  DUKE
		It was a senior year to remember, with one annoying twist. When Riera went down with a torn ACL during the basketball season, it was the only bad news in a year and a career filled with accomplishments. Riera graduated as the third-ranked student in her class with an SAT score of 1500, including a perfect 800 in math. She was senior class secretary, a member of the National Honor Society, and on the Student Council. Athletically, Riera was captain of the soccer, basketball, and softball teams. She was a Tri-Valley League All-Star in basketball and hoped to repeat her TVL All-Star honors in softball this spring before injuring her knee. Surgery in March kept her off the field but she was still able to help as an assistant coach and manager. Before the injury, she was a career .400 hitter and center fielder for Medway. "Above all of the intensity, commitment, and enthusiasm lies one of the nicest, kindest, and most inclusive people I have ever met," said soccer coach Jason Rojee. Principal Richard Pearson said, "Medway is a better place because of Katie’s hard work and participation."

David Libardoni, Bishop Feehan  TUFTS
		Libardoni is just as likely to win a fight in the trenches on the football field as he is to win an argument. For four years, the 5-foot 9-inch, 285-pound goliath played lineman for the Shamrocks' football team, winning three consecutive Division 2A EMass titles and captaining the team in 2004. Libardoni also participates in indoor and outdoor track for Bishop Feehan, competing primarily as a shot putter. He finished third in the shot put at this spring’s Division 3 meet. During his sophomore year, he was a founding member of the school's Mock Trial club. His public service record includes organizing the school's Million Can March and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Libardoni is a member of the National Honor Society, French Honor Society, and the Science National Honor Society, and was the recipient of the College of Holy Cross Book Award as a junior. He’s ranked No. 4 in his class and his SAT score of 1520 includes a perfect 800 in math. "He is a fine young man — moral, ethical, and honest," guidance counselor Patsy-Ann O’Boy said. "David Libardoni is a gentle giant."

Kristen Young, Fairhaven  BATES
		In her four years at Fairhaven, Young played for four athletic teams: soccer, indoor track, tennis, and basketball. As a soccer player, she served as the team’s goalkeeper and earned four varsity letters. After two years of basketball, she changed winter sports and took on the challenge of distance running for the indoor track team, earning back-to-back finishes in the top six in the South Coast Conference 2-mile championship in 2004 and 2005. Young’s 4.84 grade point average earned her the honor of being class valedictorian and she is a four-time recipient of Fairhaven’s Scholar-Athlete Award. She is a member of several clubs at Fairhaven, including the Interact Club, Student Council, Chorus, and Yearbook staff. She’s described by her guidance counselor Dawn Rego as a, "young woman who is mature, poised, and determined ... Kristen displays a quiet confidence and enjoys giving her time to help others." Her devotion to helping others earned her the Presidential Service Award as a junior after she compiled 100 hours of community service.

Christopher Lavelle, Clinton  BOSTON COLLEGE
		Chances are, if you've spent a day in Clinton in the past four years, you've seen Lavelle playing, volunteering, or working in town. He has played basketball, baseball, and football every year in high school and this year, he captained the basketball and football teams. After playing quarterback in the fall and throwing seven touchdown passes, he moved indoors, where he earned a spot on the Massachusetts All-Academic basketball first team. "Christopher's character and sense of integrity is absolutely beyond reproach ... He continually represents his team, school, and community in a most commendable fashion," said Clinton assistant football coach Paul Constantino. Lavelle has been a member of the National Honor Society for three years and has earned awards for the highest academic average in Spanish II and biology as well as the Superintendent's Award.

Allison Gamache, Shepherd Hill  UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND
		During Gamache's career, she was as good as there was in field hockey, basketball, and softball in central Massachusetts. Her selection to Worcester Telegram & Gazette Super Teams for those sports is evidence of that. While captaining and playing center midfielder for the field hockey team, she scored 22 goals and had eight assists. Playing point guard for the basketball team, she averaged 9.7 points and helped Shepherd Hill earn the top seed in the CMass Division 1 state tournament. In softball, she has kept her batting average above .500. Gamache serves as Shepherd Hill's National Honor Society chapter president and is a camp counselor and church volunteer. She was ranked 11th in a class of 262. "Her enthusiasm and dedication are unquestionable," said her geometry teacher Cynthia Boyd.

Michael Penza, Xaverian  WILLIAMS
		Whether it's taking the most difficult courses offered at his school or taking on heavy weights at powerlifting competitions, Penza is not scared of challenges. The same goes for his career on the wrestling mat, where he earned first-place finishes wrestling in the 125-pound class at the North Quincy and Peckham Wrestling tournaments. This season, the Foxboro native finished fifth in the Division 1 sectionals and sixth in the state finals while compiling a 34-11 record. His coach Thomas Trovato said: "It was an easy decision to make Mike captain this year ... he exemplified hard work." He also is a competitive lightweight weightlifter and holds the USAPL New England Bench Press Record for 132-pound competitors. In the fall, he was a defensive back on the football team. While his athletic exploits are impressive, it's his brain power that earned him acceptance into Williams with a perfect 800 SAT verbal score and a 1500 total, and a 4.0 GPA. Penza has practically engraved his name on the Xaverian honor roll and he has been a leader in the campus ministry program.

Meghan Lawrie, Ursuline  DARTMOUTH

Alexis Quigg, Latin Academy  BOSTON UNIVERSITY
		If there's a club or team to join at Latin Academy, Alexis Quigg is likely to be there. She has captained three teams (soccer, basketball, and softball) in her senior year. As the leader of the hoops squad, she was the second highest scorer and was voted the team's best defender and a City League All-Star.

Quigg, who sports a 3.8 GPA, is a member of her school’s yearbook staff, was the junior class president and a member of the National Honor Society. Her headmaster Maria Garcia-Aaronson enjoys telling this story about Quigg's multi-tasking abilities: "Her work habits are enviable.
