Suzanne, Samantha and David Silva present Will Haskins with the Austin Silva Character Award
At their recent banquet, the Lake Highlands High School Wildcat Wranglers presented end-of-year awards to outstanding members of their country-and-western dance and stunt team. New this year was the Austin Silva Character Award, named for the boy who died during routine wisdom tooth extraction last summer and never had a chance to enjoy his own senior year dancing on the team. All 2017-18 performances were dedicated to him, and the team resolved to “live like Austin.”
Junior Will Haskins received the first Austin Silva Character Award.
Favorite Stunt Solo went to Josh Klein and Erin Wilhelm. Most Improved were Sasha Wilkins and Tanner Cabaniss. Best All Around Seniors were Luca Gisellu and Taber Roach. Best All Around Juniors were Will Haskins and Kenzie Hale. Most Dedicated Seniors were Scott Griffin and Georgia Bond. Most Dedicated Juniors were Ty Poindexter and Allison Cannatti.
Auditions were held over the weekend, and 2018-19 Wranglers are: Alexandra Addison, Olivia Allen, Brooke Bateman, Jacqueline Bernal, Allison Cannatti, Emily Currie, Addie Dohnalik, Camille Dries, Natalie Duval, Samantha Frost, Kenzie Hale, Jane Hamilton, Lucy Hamilton, Maci Hickman, Margot Jones, Mackenzie Keaton, Cassidy Landis, Lauren McPhail, Molly Miller, Anna Pollard, Samantha Silva, Sasha Wilkins, Allyn Willis, Blake Addison, Jonathan Barrows, Christian Behel, Brendan Bouldin, Tanner Cabaniss, Matthew Crisp, Michael Dorsey, Archer Fuqua, Elicio Govea, Will Haskins, Jack Leischner, Alex Maldonaldo, Evan Moudy, Teaff Nickle, Caleb Parker, Ty Poindexter, Sean Ryan, Mason Smith, Daniel Truong, Luis Velez, Pierce Walling, Tyson Washington and JP Weale.
