Lexington High School announced that graduated seniors Treyvan Berry and Maylin Novoa were the recipients of Mingus and Ramsey awards.
In order to win the award, the student-athletes had to participate in three sports during their senior year, have a 2.5 GPA or higher, be a strong leader, be a contributor on the varsity team of each sport, and be a good citizen.
Each of the head coaches votes on the eligible athletes, and the boy and girl with the most votes win the award.
"Treyvan had an excellent senior year, excelling in football, unified and varsity bowling, and unified track," said Phil Truax, Lexington High School athletic director.
"Maylin was a leader on the Maid cross country team, basketball in the winter and soccer in the spring," Truax said. "Unfortunately, she had an injury in soccer this spring, but still played an important part in the successful season the Maids had."
