Celebrating Excellence: Margaret Nunes Receives the Sundale Pursuing Victory With Honor Award
Nominator Clint Wolsey shares, "The Pursuing Victory with Honor Award is given annually to one athlete who best exemplifies the values that define Sundale Athletics. This year's recipient is Margaret Nunes, who truly flips a switch when she steps onto the playing field, quickly transforming her easygoing personality and friendly smile into the heart of a fierce competitor. She plays with passion and intensity while never losing sight of what matters most, consistently showing respect for the game, her coaches, her teammates, and her opponents. Margaret's dedication is unmatched: she never missed a single practice, was always willing to help with equipment, and consistently did the little things that make a team successful. That same commitment shines in the classroom, where she is one of only two graduates to achieve perfect attendance. Margaret will continue competing in water polo, basketball, and swim at Tulare Western."
