Nick Gonzales (WAC Graphic)

University of Arizona standouts Cameron Cannon (Mountain Ridge) and Nick Quintana earned Second Team recognitions.

(WAC GRAPHIC)

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.

Portions from news release.

We recognized 164 athletes in 2018. We have 91 athletes recognized this year so far.
