FSCJ BlueWave held their annual awards banquet recently and named the male and female athletes of the year, Softball Player Caitlyn Berry and Baseball Player Dalton Terrell.

Caitlyn Berry is working towards a degree in Criminal Justice with hopes to join the Police Academy. She pitched in 60 games over the last two years for the BlueWave and was selected to the 2nd Team All-Mid Florida Conference Team. 

Dalton Terrell plans to major in Construction Management at UNF next year. He pitched in 27 games over the last two years for the BlueWave and has maintained a 4.0 GPA during his time at FSCJ. 

The baseball team was named the champion of the 2018-19 BlueWave Life Skills program for the second year in a row. The program was established in the Fall of 2016 to enhance the lives of the student-athletes. The program focuses on five key areas: academic excellence, athletic excellence, personal development, career/financial development and service to the community. The teams earn points for each category and the team with the highest per player average wins the annual award. Past recipients were the 2016-17 Women’s Basketball team, and the 2017-18 Baseball team. 

New this year, the athletes nominated and voted on Professor and Staff Person of the Year awards to honor faculty and staff that have supported them throughout the year. This year they selected Professor Heidi Marshall and Student Success Advisor II Davion Manuel-McKenney.
