Fischer 100th Hen Hud Athlete to Win Con Ed Award
Hendrick Hudson High School senior Justin Fischer, currently undefeated on the varsity #1 doubles tennis team, became the 100th athlete in the school’s history to win the Con Edison Scholar Athlete of the Week award last week.
Fischer, who will be attending Lafayette University in the fall, has been a member of the varsity tennis team since the seventh grade and has earned All-League and All-Section honors. He has also been a three-year member of the varsity football team where he has achieved All-League and All-Section status as a middle linebacker and fullback. In the winter, he participates on the varsity winter track team.
In the classroom, Fischer has also excelled with a 92 overall average.
“Winning the Con Ed Award is a very prestigious honor and Justin Fischer represents the very good here at Hen Hud,” said Athletic Director Tom Baker. “He is very deserving of this honor. For him to tear his ACL in September and then come all the way back and win this Con Ed Award exemplifies the type of character and perseverance Justin Fischer has. We are all very proud of him.”
The Con Edison Scholar Athlete of the Week award started in 1951. “We have a rich history, along with wonderful current student athletes,” Baker said.
