Massachusetts Women in Athletics Distinguished Service Awards
Deb Roussell Science Teacher; Golf and Softball Coach Maynard High School According to Brenda Sullivan, Maynard Girls Field Hockey Coach and 2006 recipient of this award, "If there is something going on in town to help the community or people in it, you will more than likely see Deb Roussell right smack in the middle of it." Sullivan says the "three D's" of Deb Roussell are Determination, Dedication and Drive. "Who could say enough about a woman who entered a town and sparked the minds of the young and touched the hearts of anyone who has come in contact with her? Deb has been teaching in Maynard for 17 years now, and has not lost the enthusiasm and encouragement that a science classroom requires." Roussell holds her teams to the same high standards as she holds her students. She encourages young women to join her team, and she goes above and beyond the call of duty in finding opportunities for them, arranging practice and play at a local golf course and hosting workshops and clinics for younger and less experienced players.
Marge Bohan Physical Education/Health Teacher; Volleyball, Softball and Tennis Coach; Community Volunteer Dedham High School For 34 years, Marge Bohan has been modeling and teaching educational athletics. According to Principal Ron McCarthy, "Marge is committed to students learning and experiencing sportsmanship, wellness, com-munity service and leadership. She constantly looks for new ways to improve the quality of health and physical education for her students and is not afraid to try new concepts to achieve her goals." Bohan served as head Girls Varsity Volleyball coach for 17 years and head Girls Varsity Softball Coach for 10 years. She also spent time as Assistant Varsity Girls Tennis Coach, and she has served as Class Advisor to many classes, as Chairperson of the Dedham Wellness Committee, and as a member of the Dedham High School Hall of Fame Committee. She has worked the table at both boys and girls basketball games, supported the press box during home football games, and works tirelessly on behalf of the Dedham Athletic Booster Organization. "Through her service to the Dedham community, students have learned interpersonal skills, leadership, empathy, work ethic and the value of being a good teammate and person," McCarthy said. Her educational excellence was recognized by the Ed Kelley Award, which goes to the Outstanding Edu-cator in the Dedham School District, and her influence was honored by the Carmen Gail Coaches' Award, voted to her by Dedham Senior Captains. “I have had the pleasure and honor to work with Marge for my entire career at Dedham High School as a Health/Wellness Teacher, Director of Athletics, Assistant Principal and Principal," said former Principal Jacob A. Santamaria, Jr. "Marge is the ultimate role model for our young women. She has developed a tremendous rapport with our female students in her roles as an educator, coach, advisor, mentor and friend. She is a person our students trust, and they will always seek her advice.”

Sarah Greeley Wellness Teacher; Field Hockey and Basketball Coach; Rugby Coach and Pioneer Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School Sarah Greeley serves the Lincoln-Sudbury RHS community as a Wellness Teacher, and she has coached 9th Grade Field Hockey and Varsity Girls Basketball, but Athletic Director Nancy O'Neil is most impressed by her trailblazing work to establish rugby as a high school sport in Massachusetts, and by her commit-ment to the philosophy of Positive Coaching. Greeley implemented a girls rugby team at Lincoln-Sudbury in 2006, and has taken leadership roles at both the state and local levels. "She has championed the sport in all the right ways," O'Neil said. "Given that girls rugby is in its infancy in our state, Sarah had to get creative for everything from funding to scheduling. She has worked doggedly, connecting with area schools, chasing down all funding options, and organizing safe practices and protocol. This is true leadership." When the participation numbers at Lincoln-Sudbury dropped, Greeley reached out to the neighboring community and forged a collaborative team including athletes from Concord-Carlisle, Marlborough, and Maynard. In her quest to establish rugby as an accepted sport, Greeley has facilitated workshops and clinics for rugby coaches across the region. She encourages all coaches to take the MIAA/NFHS Coaching Funda-mentals Course, and makes an effort to educate the rugby community about MIAA. Her goal is to eventu-ally gain enough support and participation numbers to establish girls rugby as an MIAA sport. As a trained Positive Coaching Alliance instructor, Greeley emphasizes positive conditioning, where condi-tioning is used as a reward instead of a punishment. She also embraces servant leadership and encour-ages her students to be the first to serve and the last to be served. Greeley's colleague, Wellness Teacher and Varsity Field Hockey Coach Vicky R. Caburian adds, "Sarah Greeley has been a pioneer and legendary leader of rugby in Massachusetts. She has instilled the love of the game through her enthusiasm, dedication, and ability to excite others by encouraging girls of all abilities to try rugby. Her energy is contagious and any player is lucky to have Sarah as their mentor. Sarah Greeley deserves this honor and recognition as a testament to her constant support of young women in sport. As a Wellness educator and a rugby coach, she empowers young women to gain the confidence they need to step off the playing field and into the real world."
According to Maynard Athletic Director Kevin Caruso, "Deb is a great mentor and teacher. Her passion and knowledge of her subject and sport are unmatched." Her after-school (besides sports) includes Science Fair, Model UN, Nature's Classroom and Student Government. Her community service work defies quantification. A cancer survivor, Roussell is an avid member and participant in Maynard's Relay for Life, serving on the committee, coordinating the Luminary and fundraising on the "Lady Bugs," one of the top-earning teams. She is a member and former co-chair of the Maynard Medical Reserve Corp, an agency that provides food and shelter at the high school for vulnerable populations during electrical outages or extreme weather. For the Maynard Food Pantry, Roussell runs a can drive at the high school, stocks shelves and creates a hat-and-mitten donation tree each year. Add to that volunteer work for town-wide cleanups, parades, and blood drives and it's easy to see why Sullivan calls Roussell a "force to be reckoned with." The people of Maynard are understandably happy that the Force is with them.

GWS Day Essay Contest Winners Third Place Katherine Hurley, Sandwich High School
“Blazing the Trail,” is not always easy but with pride and determination it can be done. Each day female athletes are “Blazing the Trail,” and passing the “Torch” on to future athletes. I am one of those athletes eager to pass the torch and show how with perseverance, a strong will and a good attitude, anything can be accomplished. As an athlete, challenges are constantly placed before you. Usually these challenges are part of competition or training for a personal record. Sometimes there are obstacles of a different nature placed before athletes that take sheer determination to overcome. Last spring I was diagnosed with Bilateral Compartment Syndrome. I had the choice to give up running and any of my future cross country and track seasons, or to have major surgery on both of my legs. I did not want to give up so I chose surgery. While awaiting surgery I could not run. That did not stop me from being a participating teammate. There were few throwers on the team so I decided I would throw the discus. The surgery was a success, but with that success a lot of work was put forth. The surgery opened up all eight compartments with three large incisions on each leg. The seemingly never-ending rehab process began that continues to this day. Each day I worked towards my ultimate goal, running in a race. During these months of recovery I could only stand on the sidelines. I did just that. I knew as a part of the team I should be there to cheer on my team and show them the support they gave me, whether it was standing in the pouring rain for hours as they did a workout, or giving a few words of encouragement before a race. As a leader I wanted to show my pride and show that excuses are not an option. Leaders make a commitment to carry the ‘Torch’ no matter what. Leaders do not make excuses and they work hard. Leaders set a positive example and encourage others to do the same so that some day they will carry the ‘Torch’ with great pride, and dedication. Being a leader I wanted to show my teammates, especially the underclassmen, that no matter what happens, even if the trail ahead of you does not seem clear, you can find the inner strength to blaze your own trail and hit any obstacles head on. It is my hope that I will be a role model to future female athletes and an example of how when you feel like you want to give up, that’s when you have to push harder to achieve your goals. My coach says it best, “It’s okay to cry today, but tomorrow we train.” I will pass the torch on to the next generation of female athletes by working hard and using my obstacles to make me a better athlete.
Second Place Marissa Kelberman, Nashoba Regional High School Achieving any goal comes with hidden disincentives and inevitably these are the downfall for many female athletes. Being a female athlete and a student leader, one must always be ready and able to stand up and overcome the mountains that are in front of them. I am from a small town, in the middle of a small state, which is pushed aside so the larger states can have more ground to be recognized. Sports are the way that I am able to step out of the confined borders and the limited opportunities of Massachusetts and blaze a trail for the next generation of female athletes. Courage is the most important trait of any student athlete- leader because its presence will ensure any other quality. I have become a better leader through experience, because I have gained courage. This doesn't mean that I have been fearless for my whole life, or I have never been afraid. In fact, there have been times when I have felt like quitting, times when majority of people have told me that my dreams are impossible, times when I felt that I was way in over my head. I have kept pushing myself, surrounding myself with people who believe in my dreams just as much as I do, and this is another important quality. Leaders have to be able to make changes as they see necessary to make their lives the best for themselves.

First Place Danielle Lapierre, St. Joseph Central High School
Passing on the Putter
Being one of the only girls in my area to play golf, I had to play on the boys' team. There were a lot of people who supported me, but also a lot of people who did not want me out on the course competing with the boys. There were also some boys who did not want me out there with them either. At first, I was upset that I was not automatically accepted into the male dominated sport. However, this gave me the motivation to work hard to earn the respect of the people who doubted me. Every time I wanted to give up, I would think of the snickers I heard from the boys I
competed against, and remember my mission to turn them into gasps of disbelief. I spent the next two winters practicing indoors to improve, also playing every day in the spring and summer. It was during those cold winter days, when I was practicing alone, that I fell in love with the game of golf all over again. Then all of my hard work came together. I became the number one player on the boys' team, came in second in the girls Western Massachusetts regional tournament, and led my team to their first Western Mass tournament in a decade. For a while, I thought what I was doing did not affect anyone. My name would appear in the paper but I never thought anyone read it or even really cared. But one day, when I was practicing, a man came to the indoor practice facility with his daughter. She sauntered in with a small golf bag on her back. She missed the ball on her first few tries but after I told her to keep her head down, she hit it and her face lit up. As she kept practicing, I could see pieces of me in her. The way her eyes lit up with each solid shot, I could tell she was falling in love with the game just as I had. When I was putting my clubs away, the young girl's father came up to me and told me that his daughter saw me in the paper and said to him, "Dad, I want to do that." When he told me this, I was taken aback. The fact that I helped a girl find something she loved to do was a satisfaction to last a lifetime. Girls' golf in my area has been growing. My swing coach has begun taking on more and more young girls as students. Maybe one day, there will be enough of us to have girls' golf teams in Western Massachusetts. That is my goal. Someone once called me a pioneer but I never liked that term, I consider myself a believer. And now every time I play I think about those girls because I want to show them that they can follow their dreams and do anything they put their minds to no matter what anyone says.
Passing the torch to the next generation of female athletes, I would like to say, there are going to be people who say something is impossible, times when every athlete wonders what they are doing, times when they ask themselves if all of this is worth it. I want them all to know that it is worth it, and I can't promise that it is going to be easy, but once they overcome those doubts, when they forget those limits, the fun and success will come. Society will always try to limit them, count on it, but don't ever take it as a declaration, take it as a challenge. Become a leader, use ambition to make history, be humble and show gratitude for those who have helped, and most of all, never lose sight of your goals. I will use the torch I am passing down to not only blaze the trail, but ignite the sparks of each young female athlete, to rekindle the passion for all sports, and wish for them to become the best leader and athlete that they can be.
