6 Sabrina Demetrius College Signing: Chestnut Hill College Sport: Track and Field College Coach: Phil Reilly As a four-year varsity athlete and team captain, Sabrina Demetrius has been a leader and a standout for the Dock Mennonite Academy Track & Field program. Although Sabrina was unable to compete for much of her senior season due to an appendectomy, her efforts in the field during her freshman, sophomore, and junior year left an indelible mark on our program. Sabrina is leaving as the school record holder in both the Shot Put and Discus. During her career, she set and reset school records in both of those events, was a multiple District medalist, District Champion and represented Dock at the State level. Sabrina has committed to competing at Chestnut Hill College and will be an excellent fit with their track and field program.

11 Andrew Walters College Signing: Eastern University Sport: Baseball College Coach: Jed Morris "Andrew has been playing baseball for Dock Mennonite Academy for the past 4 years at the varsity level. His versatility allowed him to play as freshman and sophomore at first base and as junior and senior as short stop. Achieving good results in both positions. As first baseman was named in the second team of the Bicentennial League, as short stop second team of the Bicentennial League. This year Andrew looks with a lot of potential to receive another achievement as the first team in the Bicentennial League as a short stop. Andrew is part of the new generation of student athletes who develop Dock Mennonite Academy as baseball players. In his four years as a ball player Andrew helped the team to win 4 Bicentennial League Championships, 2 District Championships, and 2 trips to the state tournament. Andrew always was impeccable in the field. His consistency with the bat and glove has given him the opportunity to continue his career as a student athlete at the college level. We are going to miss his lead in and out of the field. Andrew Walters numbers as a baseball player at Dock Mennonite Academy: 217 AB 86 Hits 3.96 AVG We are looking forward to watching Andrew play next year at Eastern University." - Coach Ed Melendez 1.
