The Abington Senior High School Athletic Department, Administration, students, and families recognized and celebrated five student-athletes’ accomplishments. After a welcome and introduction by Athletic Director Todd Vaccaro, Abington Senior High School alumna Amy Sullivan Coffey, Abington Class or 1995, presented a very inspirational, uplifting, and positive talk about her experiences as an athlete.
Amy was a four-year letter winner and team captain in swimming and lacrosse at Abington. She was a walk-on lacrosse player at the University of Delaware where she was very successful – Conference Rookie of the Year, team MVP, team captain, and other accomplishments. After playing at the University of Delaware, she became assistant women’s lacrosse coach at the University of Pennsylvania.
We are so proud of the following student-athletes who signed national letters of intent with their parents and families and coaches by their sides:
- Lindsay Baer – Lacrosse – Old Dominion University
- Jordan Campbell – Lacrosse – LaSalle University
- Casey McCallister – Lacrosse – Lehigh University
- Samantha McGee – Lacrosse – St. Joseph’s University
- Liz Oleary – Basketball – University of Delaware
Participating in the signing celebration was girls’ lacrosse coach Amanda Kammes and girls’ basketball coach Dan Marsh.
Shown here are photos of the young ladies with their parents, Mr. Vaccaro welcoming everyone this morning, Amy Sullivan Coffey presenting her talk, and a group photo including one with Amy Coffey, the athletes, and Amy’s daughter Liv. Also below is a wonderful video produced by Kristina Blake, an Abington student in the high school’s media production class, that presented interviews and highlights of the athletes’ careers at Abington.
