- The Sarah Hegarty for Soccer
Excellence it’s given each year to a male and female U18
player. The
inaugural award was given to Sarah it 1997.
It was never meant to be a Memorial award.
In March of 1996 Sarah was rushed to the emergency room.
In March of 1998 after over 50 surgeries and two organ
transplants Sarah died.
-
- As a player Sarah led her FC
Milwaukee team to three state championships.
She was consistent member of the ODP State Team.
As a freshman at DSHA she led the soccer team in scoring
and second place in the WISAA state tournament.
As a sophomore she started for the DSHA state
championship basketball team.
During Sarah’s illness she fought with the same
tenacity that she played. In
illness Sarah rarely complained and her optimism and enthusiasm
for life never waned. It
is Sarah’s attributes in life that we hold as the criteria for
our highest honor: loyalty, a great player and determination
both on and off the field.
