WELLS — In December, Wells High School junior Mitch Libby was recognized as Wells High School’s Student-Athlete of the Month for October of 2016.  He received this award for his academics, sportsmanship and performance this past fall season on the WHS Cross Country Team. He was noted especially for his running the 5K in post-season competitions.

Presenting a plaque to Libby on Dec. 6 was John C. Kreie of Cole Harrison Insurance and Pamela Moody-Maxon of Moody Maxon Real Estate. Cross Country Coach, Bob Winn was also present at the presentation.   

“Mitch led the team through the entire regular season and through all four championship events,” commented Coach Winn. “Look for more great things from Mitch.”

This fall, the boys and girls cross country teams at WHS qualified for the state Class B championships held in Belfast in early November. The boys team placed second making the team fifth place overall in the State and sixth in qualifying for the 2016 New England Cross Country Championships held later n Rhode Island. 

Libby was also recognized in November at a school sports awards presentation for his impressive post- season and for being named his team’s Most Valuable Player (MVP).  Libby, who says he has enjoyed running since the sixth grade, is the son of Karen and Dave Libby of Wells.

The Student-Athlete of the Month awards program at Wells High School is sponsored by the Cole Harrison Insurance Agency and Moody Maxon Real Estate. Recipients for the award are selected by the administration at WHS. The Student-Athletes of the Month program began at WHS in 2007.
