The 2020 LHS winter sports recognition night was cancelled last spring due to COVID. This past week, Lamar Swim Team Coach Lyman Burr handed out last year’s 2020 end-of-season awards on January 13. Recipients, pictured left to right, are: Most Improved - Haily Born; Spirit & Sportsmanship - Emma Tennal; Tiger Award - Kaitlyn Davis and High Point and MVP - Meghan Watson. Most Improved is determined by the amount of time cut by a swimmer during the season while High Point is calculated by total points earned by a swimmer over the course of the season. The other three awards are voted on by fellow team members. All four award winners were members of the Junior class last season.
