Jesse Loudon, who plays both softball and volleyball for Verona High School, is this year’s VHS recipient of the National Girls and Women in Sports Day award from the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).
The award is normally presented at an in-person event, but that was not possible this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement was made Wednesday by VHS Athletic Director Robert Merkler on Twitter.
Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day & I am happy to announce Verona’s recipient of the NGAWS from the NJSIAA is Jessica Loudon! Jesse is a two sport athlete, a leader on and off the field, and a tremendous role model for our athletes. Congrats!@SoftballVHS @VHSGVball pic.twitter.com/U7noEn5YS9
