Laura Lokitis, Tabor PREP BASKETBALL

She was named to Street and Smith's All-America team for her season in which she averaged 22.7 points, 4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 3 steals per game.

Charles Tashjian, Brunswick PREP SQUASH

The junior contributed 8 goals and 13 assists to her Winsor team and was an EIL All-Star for the third consecutive season. For her career, she has tallied 35 goals and 30 assists.
