2019 WAC Presentation Night
The 29th WAC Presentation Night was a special celebration. 2019 saw the sad passing of two of our dearest coaches Fred O’Connor and Ron White. Fred had passed earlier in the year at the age of 94 after a long battle with cancer. Ron passed suddenly while delivering a speech at a friend’s funeral. They collectively contributed a half of a century of knowledge and coaching to our athletes, each having been in our employ for about 25 years. Thanks to the Jenner family for commissioning the Fred O’Connor memorial award which was presented to Teagan Hunter. Also a big thank you to Ron’s widow and son who attended the wards and accepted a posthumous Life Membership pin.
Congratulations to all our recipients and thanks to our special guest Kyle Cranston. For the first time the same special guest was used two years in a row. Kyle paid tribute to his mentor and Coach Ron White.
