The soccer program at MCC-Blue River held its annual soccer awards ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 11. This annual event recognizes the athletic achievements of both the men’s and women’s soccer teams.
This year, there was a lot to celebrate. Both teams finished with the most wins ever in their four year history. The women finished as NJCAA Region XVI Semifinalist, posting an 11-3 record. The men’s team won their first NJCAA Region XVI Championship, posting a 12-8 record. The awards ceremony celebrated both the team and individual accomplishments of these student athletes.
Also honored at the program were Tony Wrisinger and Bill Althaus with an MCC-Blue River Soccer Spirit Award for supporting local student athletes through high quality sports coverage.
Both Wrisinger and Althaus co-host the Sonic Locker Room, a radio program featuring local athletes and sports programs in the Independence, Blue Springs and Lee’s Summit area. During the past year the Sonic Locker room has twice interviewed the Blue River coaches. The second interview can be found on the Trail Blazers website (www.mcckc.edu/blueriver/soccer).
