The Shelter Island School Athletic Department had the pleasure of honoring the teams and individuals that participated in the high school athletic programs during this school year.

There were plenty of reasons to celebrate this athletic year as varsity volleyball, boys cross country and girls cross country won league and county championships.

The cross country teams participated in the New York State Championship meet and all of our varsity teams were recognized as New York State Scholar Athlete Teams.

It was also an evening to pay tribute to and say thank you to our Athletic Director Rick Osmer for his 25 years of service to the district.  During the evening, he was presented with a framed photo of our center court as well as a framed photo from his final game as a basketball coach.

Afterward, every student-athlete formed a line near the podium to approach Mr. Osmer individually to personally thank him.
