At the end of the meet, Trey Wolfe was recognized by the New England coaches with the Andy Lowe Award: “The Andy Lowe Award is awarded to a student-athlete at the New England Division 1 Swimming & Diving Championships who best embraces the values of generosity of spirit, humility, and relentlessness—values embodied by Coach Andy Lowe throughout his 43 years at Suffield Academy.”

In addition, the coaches recognized Christopher Xia with the Babcock Award, given to “the outstanding student-athlete who best exemplifies the values of New England Prep School Swimming & Diving.” Christopher becomes only the 5th Andover swimmer to win the Babcock, joining Mark List ’74, David Mainen ’89, TJ Durkin ’99, and Jun Oh ’12.
