Tuckahoe High School Varsity Dinner

On June 5^th, the Tuckahoe High School Athletic Department honored its most celebrated athletes of the school year at the school’s annual Varsity Dinner and Hall of Fame Awards ceremony.

The evening event, which was held at Mulino’s at the Lake Isle Country Club, also included the induction of THS 2003 graduate Jennifer Cirrincione to the Tuckahoe Hall of Fame by her former teammate and Cottle teacher Amy Del Savio.

Before the induction, Director of Physical Education, Health & Athletics Austin Goldberg described Ms. Cirrinclone as “one of the most decorated female athletes that Tuckahoe has ever had.”

He said she thrived in many sports but softball was the one she received the most accolades for. Her former teammates and coaches often described her as “the face of Tuckahoe softball during one of its most dominant periods of time” and a “source of motivation and confidence.”

“The best part of the night for me was watching our younger student-athletes listen to Jennifer speak,” added Mr. Goldberg. “I hope that she inspires many in that room to be up at that podium in the future.”

A select group of varsity athletes was presented with a number of awards, including the prestigious senior athletic awards to close out the festivities.
