Senior Named 2017 Illinois Water Polo Scholastic Athlete of the Year
Senior Zachary Holecek was named the 2017 Senior Scholastic Athlete of the Year at the Illinois Water Polo All-State Awards banquet on May 30. Holecek is the third Rambler in as many years to win the award, following Charles R. Hussey in 2015 and Michael J. Considine in 2016.
Each year coaches nominate players that demonstrate outstanding athletic ability, have a minimum GPA of 3.5 and are involved in cocurricular activities within their school and community.
“We are very proud of Zach for this award—he was up against some very stiff competition from outstanding student-athletes across the state,” says Daniel Hengelmann, head coach of the boys’ varsity water polo team.
“Zach was an outstanding captain this year,” Hengelmann adds. “His actions on a daily basis served as a wonderful role model for our younger athletes, and he had an incredibly productive season as a player.”
Holecek will attend Princeton University in the fall.
Go Ramblers!
