Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

We all know that the demands to maintain academic success are great, but when you add the discipline and dedication to be successful on the sports field, it can seem overwhelming. Kaiden has excelled in football which can be witnessed any weekend this fall. I personally saw him destroy numerous attempts by the opposition trying in vain to run into Kaiden’s side of the line. Playing both offense and defense, he is a huge asset to the team and a big time contributor to Wakefield’s current success. Kaiden will take that winning attitude to the lacrosse field in the spring where last year he was voted one of the top high school players in the state. I would not be surprised to see him in the top of that category again and perhaps even number one. Kaiden is being scouted by several colleges and he is weighing the opportunities that have been put in front of him. I am sure that Kaiden will take his winning attitude to the collegiate level and will continue prosper there. Good luck Kaiden!!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

Above and beyond his athletic prowess, Kaiden is a solid likable young man. He is willing to help his family and friends whenever the occasion arises. He honestly has traits that we wish more people had

Keep up the great work, Kaiden!
