The Brookline High Athletic Department and Hall of Fame Committee held their 23rd Annual Hall of Fame and Varsity Banquet on Thursday, May 21, at Boston University’s Sherman Hall.
Director of Athletics Peter Rittenburg and Assistant Headmaster Hal Mason started the series of speeches with welcoming remarks. Then, Rittenburg awarded the high school’s four new Hall of Fame inductees. Each inductee gave a short speech. Ernest C. Moreno (class of 1956), Thomas Osenton (class of 1971), Fredrick L. Hill (class of 1983), and Khuong Ta Mulvaney (class of 1991) were the high school’s 2015 Hall of Fame inductees.
Rittenburg announced all of the recipients of the awards for each sport. Seniors Nica Kovalcik and Anya Gorodentsev received the BHS Coaches’ Award, while seniors Jordi Cabanas and Clay Goldthwait received the Francis Fleming Award, more commonly known as the Female and Male Athlete of the Year Awards. Each of those present athlete recipients gave a speech, thanking their parents, coaches, and teammates.
