Princeton City Schools District Athletic Director Mr. Joe Roberts talks with senior Mark Whitener, a track athlete and lifeguard for the Vikings. In this episode of "Walking with Our Vikings," Mark discusses the season, his sports idol, and nutrition.

Held at Matthews Auditorium, the Viking Honors Awards Program is an incredible celebration of our Freshman, JV, and Varsity Spring Student-Athletes and their dedicated Coaches.

A huge thank you to the parents and guardians for your unwavering support—your recognition of the values instilled in our athletes means the world. Our student-athletes’ hard work and dedication were spotlighted as we celebrated these #DifferenceMakers!

On behalf of all 379 student-athletes and 70 coaches, the Princeton Athletic Department and Athletic Boosters would like to thank everyone who attended this special evening!

The Superintendent’s Cup is awarded to student-athletes who demonstrate Academic Excellence, Athletic Achievement, and School Citizenship. Our 2024 Spring Superintendent’s Cup winners are:

BASEBALL: Ryan Maloney

LACROSSE: Brooke Barry

SOFTBALL: Bryee Good

BOYS TENNIS: Joel Messer

BOYS TRACK & FIELD: Mark Whitener

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: Krista Parks

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: Yail Baez

We give huge kudos to Mary Smith, outgoing President of the Princeton Athletic Boosters, for 16 years of leadership and support of the Boosters Program!!

Fundraising is an important part of our programs. The Princeton Athletic Boosters strive to support each student-athlete and program.

While each sport has the opportunity to raise direct funds for its programs, it is the overall function of our Athletic Boosters to support all programs. With action items such as coordinating the senior gifts for each season and hosting special events, the Athletic Boosters also sponsor the refreshments for each of our Honors Programs.

We are going to greatly miss the leadership of Mary Smith! She is a #DifferenceMaker!

We are thrilled to recognize and celebrate the incredible individuals who dedicate countless hours and hard work to help our department and our Student-Athletes excel in every aspect. This season, the Unsung Service Award goes to: Mr. Tod Kutil!

Mr. Kutil is our Director of Grounds and Maintenance and truly the man behind the scenes who ensures every event at Princeton runs smoothly. Whether it's during the bustling Fall, Winter, and Spring sports seasons, hosting tournaments, or any special events throughout the year, Mr. Kutil and his team are always on the go, making everything look effortless.

Thank you, Mr. Kutil, for your daily dedication and commitment to Viking Excellence! We are going to miss you when you retire! You are a #DifferenceMaker!

Steve Shuck worked 36 years in the Princeton City School District as a teacher, coach, and Assistant Athletic Director. After retiring from Princeton, Mr. Shuck became the Commissioner of the Greater Miami Conference, a position he held for another 26 years. Some of us still remember waiting for the “Shuck Report” to come out as the Coach would give an in-depth analysis and prediction of the OHSAA Football Playoff scale. This summer, Steve retired from that position. The Athletic Directors in the GMC unanimously voted to create the Steve Shuck Sportsmanship Award to be presented by each school to student-athletes who exemplify good sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity.

Winners of the Steve Shuck Sportsmanship Awards are:

BASEBALL: ROBERT BLOOM

LACROSSE: AUBRIE COLE

SOFTBALL: PAYTON STRICKLEY

BOYS TENNIS: DJ HALL

BOYS TRACK & FIELD: BRENDAN BRADDIX

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: OLIVIA KENNY

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: ERICK DORSEY (not pictured)

As we honor our Viking Award winners, we would like to share a bit of history about this special award. In 2010, it was dedicated to the memory of one of our fallen Vikings, Jovante Woods.

Jovante was a beloved member of both the Football and Track Teams. Tragically, on August 11, 2010, Jovante suffered a fatal asthma attack and passed away on August 14. Despite this loss, his legacy lives on through his selflessness—Jovante had just received his driver's license and had become an organ and tissue donor, saving the lives of several others.

Jovante was known for his constant smile, hard work, and positive attitude. He maintained an impressive 3.8 GPA and was a true representative of VikeNation, both on the playing field and among friends.

We remember and honor Jovante Woods with this award, celebrating his life and the impact he made on everyone around him.

Our Viking Award recipients for the Spring are:

BASEBALL: Grayson Wolf

LACROSSE: Brooke Barry

SOFTBALL: Payton Strickley

BOYS TENNIS: Leo Schmahl

BOYS TRACK & FIELD: Declan McGrath

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: Lauren Burns

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: Jai’Von Akins-Walker
