Gus Kalikas, Athletic Director, had this to say about the event. “Amanda, Colleen, Brandon, and Victoria have been integral parts of the success of our athletic programs while attending Arthur L. Johnson High School. More importantly, they have been model student athletes that did things the right way both on the fields, in the classroom, and throughout our community. Although it will be sad to see them leave, the Crusader’s loss is their University’s gain, and we look forward to following their successful collegiate athletic careers over the next four years.”
Crusader Athletics would like to wish the best of luck to Amanda, Colleen, Brandon and Veronica as they culminate wonderful careers for the Crusaders and continue their academic and athletic successes as collegiate student athletes.
