Triton Athletics unveils new wall of champions




The 做厙AV Triton Athletics Department unveiled its new Champions of Triton Athletics wall on Aug. 26 during a live episode of Triton Sports Zone, a weekly podcast from Triton Athletics hosted by Rozanna Claros.
The wall, located in the UOG Calvo Field House, was first introduced in 2019 with a collection of 12 student-athletes who were previous award winners during their time at UOG.
The new display features 10 student-athletes from each Triton team, including the newly added baseball and womens rugby teams. Their photos were taken by Victor Consaga, the sports photographer for the university, and will remain up for one academic year.
While it is hard to take down the pictures of the first class, we are proud to highlight a new set of Champions and give our current and future players something to aim for in the future, said UOG Athletics Director Doug Palmer.
Student-athletes are chosen by their coaches and the athletics director based on their character, academics, and athletic ability.
The following student-athletes are featured on the wall:
Diane D Blackmon, mens basketball, MVP
Teressa Wagthuth, womens basketball, best offense
Isaiah Macias, mens soccer, MVP
Jaren Gumataotao, baseball, best defense
Katrina Santos, womens basketball, MVP
Matthew Santos, mens basketball, best offense
Raianne Quichocho, womens rugby, MVP
Jason Miller Jr., mens soccer, best offense
Arren Yatar, baseball, MVP and student-athlete of the year
