On Monday, June 10th, two Madison Central School student-athletes were recognized by Section III for their commitment to athletics and academics. Seniors Mackenzie Cotter and Kyle Peavey were among 190 student-athletes honored at the 35th annual Section III Scholar Athlete dinner held at Onondaga Community College.
Attendees came from all over Section III, as each member school is permitted to nominate their top overall male and top overall female student-athlete for recognition. Each student receives a scholarship check in the amount of $100, a commemorative plaque and a scholar-athlete ¼ zip jacket.

Mackenzie was selected as a first team Central Counties League all-star in soccer, basketball, and softball. As a senior, she demonstrated tremendous versatility by participating in track and field. She will attend Binghamton University in the fall. Cotter is the daughter of Roxanne and William Cotter.
