This year’s recipient has shown a consistent enthusiasm for participating in all aspects of this year's curriculum. Despite hardships and challenging windy days, this student continued and never gave up. Our selection also spent considerable time helping other young sailors to build their confidence both on and off the water. Whether motivating his skipper to stay focused, or encouraging his younger brother to start crewing, our winner this year embraced a high level of sportsmanship unusual for his age. His love of competition is evident in both his sailing and “bags” playing. This student is very receptive to feedback and extremely coachable.
The 2023 LBSS Student of the Year was awarded to Brayden Brickler. He received the Glenn Wegener Memorial Trophy which is on display at the Lake Beulah Yacht Club..
