Seniors Haylie Abrams and Patrick Shea have received nominations from their school for the 23rd annual Dellecave Awards.
While Abrams will head off to the University of Colorado and it's the University of Michigan for Shea, they each had one more honor before walking out the doors and graduating.
This prestigious award honors the top Suffolk County male and female graduating seniors who excel in athletics, academics and community service. The awards are named for Butch Dellecave, who served as an educator for three decades in the Connetquot School District, was a sports official in Suffolk County for nearly 20 years and founded the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.
Abrams is a dual sport star who was a midfielder as well as picked up the award for SWR Most Improved Athlete. She is also a standout in field hockey as well as a Dellecave requirement of being an exceptional student. This past year she also was a standout on the basketball team.
Shea also plays multiple sports at an elite level. He competes for both the soccer and cross-country teams and is the captain for a team that won the county championship in its division last year.
As with all Dellecave winners he is also a standout student, and reports say he got over a 1500 on his SATs.
