As the 2021-2022 sports seasons and school year draws to a close, Burroughs High School Athletic Director Michele Lazaro announced several students as the winners of the school’s top sports awards.
“I am so very proud of our senior athletes and all of these award winners,” said Lazaro. “These students have been amazing leaders in the classroom and in their sports. They have surely paved the way for the future of Burroughs Athletics. They never let up, and they never let us down. Their hard work over the last four years has been a great example. Each of them have the motivation and determination to succeed, and I just know they will do great things.”
