A Spectacular Event

Wenatchee Valley College hosted the Hall of Fame banquet for 2008 entitled "A Knight to Remember III" on Saturday, June 7. The night began with a social gathering where former athletes, family and friends came together and revisited memories of their time at Wenatchee Valley College. Following the social, guests were treated to a dinner as well as an introduction to the awards and the upcoming 2008 inductees in the Wenatchee Valley College Hall of Fame.

The Athletic MVP Awards for 2008 began with Rosa Vargas of Women's Soccer followed by two time MVP recipient Wilbur Velasco of Men's Soccer. Next, recipients of the volleyball MVP were Courtney Sawyer and Jessie Carlson. Lauren Daling was introduced as the Women's Basketball MVP, while Tyler Blakney was the recipient of the Men's Basketball MVP. Ranzy York of Fastpitch and Curran Redal of Baseball were also this year's recipients of the 2008 Athletic MVP.
