This past Tuesday we were finally able to host our Winter Sports Awards Night in the Great Hall. This celebration was long overdue but with weather concerns on the previous two dates we finally found some sun. These evenings in the mansion are very Mercy, not just because of our setting. We finish our seasons gathering together and celebrating the academic and athletic accomplishments of all of our teams in front of our families. I am proud to say I experienced a first in my time here at Mercy when we honored Katie Callagy '23 with her WBAL Basketball MVP award. She was dominant all season long finishing 6th in California in rebounds per game and 27th in the country. The night finishes with our teams breaking out into different rooms and our coaches honoring their end of season awards. As I step back from hosting I always hear the applause and cheers from the rooms and it brings a smile to my face.
