The Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Girls Soccer Program feted six senior student-athletes on Wednesday, October 12 at the Gouverneur Soccer Field.

The ceremony was conducted by Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Girls Soccer Head Coach Kurtis Wells, who said the following: “These six seniors are special. They have been with me since 2017. They’ve grown in soccer. I’ve coached them in summer soccer for the past two seasons. They will definitely be missed with their attitude that they have playing soccer, their efforts, and all-around skill. Seniors, our hearts go out to you. Good luck next year. Come and see us.”

The seniors recognized included the following: Addison Conklin (daughter of Amanda Atkinson and Thomas Conklin), Randi Griffith (daughter or Gordon and Teah Griffith), Aurora Hayden (daughter of Kimberly Denesha and Joshua Hayden), Grace Holmes (daughter of Bobbie and Gregory Holmes), Niciara House-Bowman (daughter of Tonya House-Carter and Krys Carter), and Elizabeth Riutta (daughter of Sarah and Roger Riutta).

Yellow carnations with blue ribbons, made possible through the Wildcat Athletic Booster Club, were presented to each senior. Following the team picture, the senior student-athletes and their parents were congratulated with the deploying of confetti cannons. Much gratitude was extended to the seniors, their families, and the fans for all their support throughout the seasons.

The Gouverneur Wildcat Varsity Girls Soccer Team played its senior night soccer game against Malone Central. For full Section 10 schedule information, visit sectionxboces.com.
