Hunter Nelson and Charlee Linton were honored with the Shorewood Cliff Gillies award, which recognizes students for their participation in student activities, academic achievement, sportsmanship and citizenship. One male and one female athlete are selected from each participating high school.

The award is named in honor of former WIAA executive director Cliff Gillies, who served as the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) Executive Director for 11 years from 1982-93. During his tenure, the Association restructured the state football playoff system, developed a drug education program, and established the student scholarship/participation recognition award.
