Jessica Williams named Embry-Riddle Athlete of the Year

(Embry-Riddle Graphic)

Former Amphitheater High School golfer Jessica Williams was named Embry-Riddle Athlete of the Year at the “Ernie Award Show” on Tuesday.

“Thank you so much, it’s really an honor to win the female athlete of the year this year,” Williams said in a release. “I especially want to thank Coach Mike (Haddow) and Coach Kim (Haddow) for all the things you’ve done for me and for the team over the past four years. I also want to thank my teammates both past and present. It’s really been an honor playing with all you guys and it’s made being an Embry-Riddle Eagle one of the best experiences of my life.”

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.
