Tom Names Salute to Sports

Honoring the TAC Athletes of the Year

Tacoma Athletic Commission’ s 2020-21 Scott and “Sis” Names

Athletes of the Year

Julianna Walker and AJ Guerrero

Jim Merritt, President of Tacoma Athletic Commission The Tacoma Athletic Commission, a dynamic local organization, supports and celebrates amateur athletics in Tacoma and Pierce County. The goal of the TAC is to ensure that the current generation of athletes have the same care and encouragement that the Commission's members enjoyed when they played. The lessons learned from interscholastic athletics transform lives and prepare students as future leaders in our community. Members love watching local teams as well as swapping stories with former teammates and foes. While there is a healthy rivalry with plenty of banter, members all agree it's about building life-long friendships and relationships at the end of the day.

The TAC has recognized local athletes since December 1942. We are fortunate to partner with the Names Family Foundations, Columbia Bank, and the Cheney Foundation to make our Athlete of the Year and Tom Names Salute to Sports a reality.

Also, the generous donations from the Names Foundations allow the TAC to grant $40,000 in scholarships each year. The other $5000.00 in scholarships named in honor of two icons of the TAC, Clay Huntington and Stan Naccarato, are sponsored by Columbia Bank and the TAC. To continue the organization's great work, we need members to help support the Commission's financial operations and volunteer. We hope that your family will be inspired and want to give back to the community so the next generation of athletes will enjoy the benefits of joining the Tacoma Athletic Commission.

We appreciate all of the Athletic Directors, coaches, school administrators, game officials, and parents for their commitment and dedication to amateur athletics in Pierce County.

Thank you to the Names Foundations

2021 “SIS” Names Female Athlete of the Year Julianna Walker - Annie Wright - Basketball

Contratulations Julianna from the Tacoma Athletic Commission!

From the Annie Wright Schools, Julianna Walker is the 2020-21 "Sis" Names Female Athlete of the Year. Over the past four seasons, Julianna has been named the TAC Athlete of the Year in Basketball. She is a true star and rare talent on the hardwoods and led the Gators to their first state basketball playoffs ever as a junior. During her career, Julianna's awards include: first-team all-league, all-area, and all-state. L This season Julianna set the state scoring record in Washington, and she is a Gatorade Player of the Year Nominee, McDonald's All-American Nominee, and the Nisqually League MVP. What makes her truly extraordinary is her positivity as a teammate. Annie Wright, Athletic Director, wrote, "Julianna is a pass-first player who puts her teammates before herself and her own goals. Headed to Syracuse University on a full basketball scholarship, the Tacoma area will be able to watch her on ESPN light up the scoring columns while also adding in ten plus assists per game." "Julianna has changed the culture of basketball at Annie Wright Schools for our middle school and high school programs. Daily, Julianna shows her classmates that success is a product of hard work and that hard work is simply a mindset. Julianna wins all of the conditioning sprints."

Julianna is the first one in the gym before practice and the last to leave. AWS students now come to the gym before school starts to shoot around and use their lunchtime to practice free throws. Before Julianna's freshman year, AWS students did not use the gyms outside of assigned practice time. The legacy of Julianna Walker will carry on for many, many more years because of the work ethic she has instilled in younger aged students. Author Malcolm Gladwell popularized the 10,000 hours rule. Gladwell believes that someone could become an expert if they practiced the same skill for 10,000 hours.

Julianna Walker is living proof that Gladwell's theory is correct.

2021 Scott Names TAC Male Athlete of the Year A.J. Guerrero - Fife High School - Baseball

The Tacoma Athletic Commission is excited to announce that A.J. Guerrero has been announced as the 2021 Scott Names Male Athlete of the Year.

A.J. was the 2A MVP, an All-Area, and All-State, and potentially will be MLB Draftee. He plays to attend the University of Washington to continue his love of baseball. AJ has been the starting shortstop at FHS since his Freshman year. In his Sophomore year, he led the team to the State Championship as a hitter and was a significant contributor to the success of that team. If we had not had a COVID shutdown last spring, A.J. would have smashed career school records for hitting categories such as H.R.'s, RBI's, AVG, SLG, etc. He has been an outstanding student and athlete for Fife High School. He would have been a four-time All-State player). He is on a top prospects list for the MLB draft and has been a nationally recognized athlete. A.J. has been a player-coach for younger players in our program. He is humble, never cocky, and is quick to acknowledge his teammates as contributing to his success.

A.J. love for baseball is infectious. He plays and practices with passion, and his intense competitive spirit is always appropriate and inspiring.

Congratulations to A.J. Guerrero

2021 Tom Names Inspirational Female Athlete of the Year Zoey Diviney - Bonney Lake – 12th – Girls' Track and Field The TAC chose Zoey during Season 1 and Season 2 as the Athlete of the year. She is an outstanding athlete. She was selected as the Tom Names Inspiration Award Winner for her commitment to the Food Bank in Bonney Lake. She writes, "The Food Bank was low, so I decided to organize a food drive. I woke up at 7 am on the food drive day, although the event didn't start 'till 10 am. I was just so excited to see this hard work pay off. I got my mom, sister, and cousin to help me during the event. It was a rainy day; it felt as if the raindrops were licking us. However, that wasn't going to make us cancel. Instead, we adapted our plan. We put up a sign asking donors to wait in their cars. My cousin and sister would run out to get the food. That way, the people donating didn't have to get soaked to help. My role during all of this was to stand on 410 with a sign directing people to the park. I stood out there for 4 hours. After I was done, I came back to an epic surprise, and the covered picnic area was filled with food donations! Over 900 items were donated! (and $120 cash). I was ecstatic!

This would make such a big difference and give the food bank a muchneeded boost. Now all that was left was to box it up and drop it off at the food bank."

Zoey went undefeated in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m and won these events at the League Meet. Zoey made a verbal commitment to The College of Idaho. Zoey went undefeated in league meets and the League championship meets in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m races. Zoey's Cross-Country season was outstanding. She went undefeated and was named the TAC Athlete of the Year for Girls' Cross-Country. Zoey was named an athlete of the week from the WIAA, was the PCL Distance athlete of the year, The PCL Middle distance athlete of the year, and was our team-leading point-getter. Zoey holds a full-time job and also maintains a 3.92 GPA. "Zoey has been such a good role model to the distance team. Her work ethic is really off the charts, and she leads by example. Zoey is humble and truly wants to help others get better. Zoey puts in the extra time outside of practice to achieve the level she is competing. All of her teammates and opponents like Zoey."

2021 Tom Names Inspirational Male Athlete Award Sam Zielke – Puyallup – Boys- Cross-Country The Tacoma Athletic Commission is honored to announce

Sam Zielke as the 2021 Tom Names Males Inspirational

Award Recipient. Sam joined the Army so he can attend

college. He left for military training right after graduation and will return late summer to begin his first semester of college.

Sam leads with his word, actions, and deeds, always early

to practice and the first to volunteer. He is always there for his team. His hard work and dedication have resulted in him being one of the fastest Cross Country runners in the South Sound.

Sam has been All-League multiple years, state qualifier two years,

Team Captain, leader, and helps others with their races. He leads warm-ups and cooldowns. When allowed, he would

stand at the end of the chute and shake the hand of every competitor until the very last athlete has finished. In the eyes of Sam, everyone in the race deserves to be recognized as we all ran the same race.

Sam enlisted in the Army and planned to run at Pacific

Lutheran University to stay in his unit out of JBLM. Sam does not have any financial backing from his family to

attend college. His father works at Sea-Tac for the TSA,

and his mother works part-time at a Church. Sam joined the military as a way to pay for his college education. Sam

qualified to run in the State Meet as an individual in 2018

and as part of the team in 2019. He has been instrumental in keeping the team running during COVID. He kept running and would remind and encourage others to keep running.

Sam will finish in the top 5 at the SPSL League meet 2020

and would have again qualified for State if not for COVID..

2021 Clint Names Multi-Sports Excellence Recipient Ella Borsheim - Bellarmine - 11th Grade Cross-Country and Track and Field The Tacoma Athletic Commission is proud to announce Ella Borshiem from Bellarmine Prep as the 2021 Cline Names Multi-Sports Female Athlete. Ella has been named the TAC Athlete of the Year during her three years in high school for cross-country and track.

Ella is one of the best distance runners in the State. Ella was the SPSL Champion in 1600 and 3200- meter races.

She continues to excel in the classroom and on track. Ella is the best example of a Bellarmine student-athlete we have seen in years. She has been one of the top runners in Washington for her entire high school career. Ella leads by example and is a great mentor to our younger runners. Ella's inquisitive mind and her willingness to listen, learn, and be coached are exceptional.

Ella stated when asked how she dealt with the stay-athome requirements during COVID by saying," She also believed that 2020 helped her grow as a person and as an athlete. "I had more time to focus on the little things like sleep, nutrition, and flexibility." Her continued efforts during individual training seem to have paid off as she recently set a personal 5k best of 16:55.8. She hopes this improvement will carry her into the season where she has much she wants to accomplish.

2021 Clint Names Multi-Sports Excellence Recipient Jahan Bains - Charles Wright - 12th – Boys' Golf From Charles Wright Academy, Jahan Bains has been named the Clint Names Mult-Sport Athlete of the Year. Jahan excels at everything he does in life. The USGA named him the Junior Golfer of 2020, and Jahan won the Nisqually League Cross-Country Championship this year. He came in second to a teammate who graduated last year, the Nisqually League Champion four years in a row.

Jahan is an exceptional athlete. He won the Nisqually League Cross Country meet, with Cross Country being his second sport. His first and primary sport is Golf. If we had Districts and a State Championship, he would very likely win both. He has placed in the top three in both Districts and State Championships in his Freshman and Sophomore seasons; his Junior season was lost to Covid, and now his Senior season is abbreviated. Johan plans to attend Lehigh to study engineering and play Division 1 Men's Golf. Jahan is the epitome of the student-athlete every coach dreams of having on their team. His dedication to Golf, where he leads with his actions first, is the definition of integrity and trustworthiness. He relentlessly practices in his pursuit of perfection and competes at the highest levels available to him. He outworks everyone when no one is watching to be able to win when everyone sees. Jahan was selected at the Washington State Golf Association Boys Junior Player of the Year in 2020. He won the WJGA (WA Junior Golf Association) Eastern Open and finished as runner-up in the WJGA State Match Play WJGA District 3 Championship and the WJGA State Championship.

He placed third overall in the abbreviated season of the WJGA Cup. He consistently ranks in the top 20 of the AJGA (American Junior Golf Association) tournaments he can attend.

Jahan has served as our team captain and leader for two years, reelected because of the belief the other athletes have in him. He actively practices his "captainship" by reaching out to work with the youngest and most inexperienced players during our practices.

During quarantine, Jahan would do online swing analysis with his peers as a way to connect. He constantly goes over and above any expectations because he genuinely cares about others' well-being.

Jahan has a brother, Gyan, who is two years older. Gyan had been our team captain for two years before Jahan joined the group. When it came time to vote for team captain when Gyan was a Junior and Jahan was a freshman, Jahan asked not to be considered a captain.

Jahan knew it was Gyan's upcoming senior season and felt he should be the captain. Jahan also knew that after Gyan graduated, it would be his turn to be captain for two years. It was a selfless and compassionate act, especially for a freshman towards his most significant competitor. Jahan has only improved with time.

2021 Clay Huntington Sports Communication Scholarship

Liberty Tucker - White River High School The TAC proudly announces that Liberty Tucker from White River High School is a Clay Huntington Sports Communication Scholarship recipient.

Liberty wrote, “Sports have always played a huge role in my life, and one of the most important things they have taught me is the importance of teamwork and communication. I grew up watching sports constantly; it felt like the only channel on our T.V. was ESPN. I am inspired by how they can unite us all; it is a common ground for all people. However, it was not until my freshman year that I realized just how essential sports would be to me for the rest of my life. I tried out for a club fast-pitch team my freshman year, and that is when everything started to click for me. I finally understood what it meant to be an athlete and to devote yourself to the game. The sound of a solid line drive coming off of the bat or the smell of fresh grass stains after you dive to snatch a pop fly are the things I dream about every night. As my time as a high school athlete comes to an end, I have done a lot of reflecting, and I have realized I do not want sports to stop being a part of my life.

I plan to attend Baylor University next Fall, and as of right now, my plan is to major in Journalism and eventually and a career in sports journalism.”

“Sports unite people. It does not matter your race, religion, sexuality, or gender to bond over sports. Sports allow people from all over to have common ground. Whether it is a “Sic “Em Bears” while passing a stranger on a sidewalk or meeting the only Seattle Seahawks bar in San Francisco, sports unite all in despite all the odds. That is why I want to be a sports journalist. I plan to turn my journalism career into something positive that will help people realize they have things in common and give them something to hope to make the world better. There is so much negativity in our society, and I hope that I can help others create friendships and their passion and give people hope with my writing. Sports have changed my life for the better, and I hope through my writing that I can help change other’s lives through sports.”

Her teacher Lori Curtis wrote, “Liberty is also a student with a heart for other human beings and other students. She is a high-achieving student with excellent grades and well-rounded involvement - ASB officer, athlete, and other school leadership. However, what sets her apart is her social personableness, interest, and drive to work with and mentor students younger than her.”

Liberty was an outstanding softball player and cheerleader at White River High School.

2021 Clay Huntington Sports Communication Scholarship

Joey Vaughn - Bellarmine Prep Congratulations to Joey Vaugh for being selected as one of Clay Huntington's Sports Communication recipients. Joey writes, "I love sports. Whether watching on TV or playing with friends, sports provide fun and entertainment. I enjoy all aspects of sports, including sports communication. From announcing wike ball games in my yard to listening to the radio, sports communication has played a prominent role in my life. In this held, I have numerous career goals, ways to help give back to the community, and possibilities to advance my experience in college.

I have many career aspirations in the held of sports communication. I have started exploring many paths within this kept and found them all great careers to pursue. For one, I am very interested in broadcasting. I have always enjoyed listening to and watching games both on the radio and TV. However, my interest in broadcasting was sparked during my trip to Spring Training in 2015. There, I had a long conversation with Rick Rizzs, the Mariners' lead radio broadcaster. The following year, I got to talk with him again in the radio booth before a Mariners game, thanks to a thank you note I had written back in 2015. Then, last winter, I did some broadcasting of my own, as I was the public address announcer for a few Bellarmine boy JV basketball games. I had a great time, and it was fun to participate in announcing firsthand. I loved the experience and would do it again this year before Covid hit; however, I hope to do it again once sports resume. (I was also asked to announce football games for the Bellarmine Little Lions before their season was canceled).

Additionally, I have pursued my interest in media/public relations. Throughout the Tacoma Rainiers 2019 baseball season, I shadowed AJ Garcia, the Director of Media Relations and Content Development. During this shadow, I saw what a Public Relations person does on a day-to-day basis; conducting interviews, writing game notes, and stat packs, and managing social media. Helping with media and promotions such as organizing autograph sessions, compiling baseball cards, making videos for promotions, and composing a media guide were interesting. Moreover, I wrote some game notes and short paragraphs for statistical trends (usually around six or six every game). This was great, as I love analyzing statistics. Through this shadow, I learned more about an exciting career and hope to do another shadow in the future.

Another career path involving sports communications that I have looked into is marketing and sales. In the summer of 2019, I spent a week shadowing the marketing and sales teams for the Tacoma Rainiers, Dehance, and Reign. During that week, I learned how sales work and who is in charge of what. It was incredibly fascinating in this case, where a large portion of the staff works for multiple teams. It was also interesting to see how each group is marketed similarly yet unique. Each team has a different sales pitch and its appeal.

Moreover, I was able to see how marketing created ads for different promotions and events, from designing uniforms to making videos. Another part of the marketing I noticed was how much emphasis the staff put on having a booth at different local events and the coordination it took to get everything organized. It was a very insightful week in which I discovered a lot about the behind-the-scenes of marketing and sales.

Furthermore, I have explored my interests in sports newscasting. Last fall, my friends and I created a podcast, "Carpool Sports Insights" (https://maxwalker4.podbean.com/). It started during Covid; this helped us connect and talk about the world of sports. In this biweekly podcast, we discuss sports, including football, basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, and tennis. Doing the podcast has been a great experience, as it is a way to see how sports media hosts need to prepare for their jobs. This fun, entertaining show has given us the ability to showcase our knowledge of sports and help keep people up-to-date about current events across the sports landscape. Not only that, but I have learned the importance of communication and other essential lessons when working together. From facts and trivia to scores and analysis, this podcast has helped me see what sports media can be like, while also giving me many memories.

Joey completed at the University of Notre Dame Summer Scholars Program, Moneyball: The Analytics of Sports. It was online and worth one college credit. In this two-week class, I learned how to use R, a programming language, to analyze data and solve problems. Although this class was challenging, I was captivated by R and loved seeing all its uses in the sports world. For example, Dr. Seth Berry, one of the professors, used R this season to plan out safe Covid policies for attendance/seating at football games for Notre Dame. The class continues to be very helpful. I am currently using R to create my project for Bellarmine's Marine Chemistry Program. In this project, I am looking at statistics from baseball's minor leagues and comparing them to those of the Major Leagues to try to and correlation and statistical trends.

2021 Stan Nacarrato Sports and Civic Betterment Scholarship

Henry Stemp - Curtis High School The Tacoma Athlete Commission is excited to announce Henry Stemo as the Stan Naccarato Sports and Civic Betterment Scholarship winner for 2021.

Henry wrote, Go ahead and take that cart right there."

“I must have repeated that phrase 9,000 times over the years working at the foodbank, yet somehow it never felt repetitive. What started as a selfish endeavor to complete 50 hours of service requirements grew into a genuine dedication to selfless service to others.

Volunteering at the Families Unlimited Network food bank, I call it FUN for short, has had the most meaningful impact on my young life.’

I began volunteering for FUN, located in the local church garage just down the street from my house, back in the eighth grade, and I never looked back. Early on, I would help out at FUN whenever I had a free Saturday in my schedule, but I felt there was more I could offer. I quickly noticed that I was the only volunteer under the age of 70, and I could use my youthful manner to brighten up the atmosphere of the foodbank. The old grannies loved when I would tell jokes or reach the top rack to put the meat onto the shelves too high for their short arms. Soon many of the customers were having more fun too. It was in these moments that I began to see the meaning of community service. I found that you are genuinely serving when you don't even notice the effect you are having on others, no matter their age or the wage they earn.

As I progressed through my high school career, I saw regular volunteers come and go, and even food bank directors say their goodbyes. One constant remained: my passion for the food bank, the love for putting the "fun" in FUN family food bank. I was eventually promoted to head volunteer my junior year for my longstanding commitment to the organization, and it is an achievement I shall forever hold dear to my heart. When the Coronavirus hit, and the lockdown ensued, I recognized an opportunity to help FUN serve the community like it never had before. Since distance learning was allocated to 2 hours per day, I could help out three days per week rather than just the usual Saturday. I spoke with the director, and we decided that the elderly volunteers should take a hiatus to minimize their risks, letting the young guns take over for the time being. I then recruited my two younger brothers and some friends whose positive attitudes I knew would it the uplifting atmosphere perfectly and taught them the ropes. I also revolutionized serving patrons and adapted the process to the "new normal" by pre-bagging the food to have it ready for them before they arrived. The new approach allowed thousands of more individuals in our community to be served during record highs in unemployment, food insecurity, and [nancial instability.

Through what turned out to be over 600 service hours at FUN, I have developed social skills that school could never have taught me as I interacted with strangers and dealt with diverse personalities each day. I have grown to enjoy the challenges of adapting to new and emerging situations and thinking quickly on my feet. I am proud of my growth as a leader through 5 years of being a team member and two years as a head volunteer and know that when I continue onto college, I will also continue to serve as a pathway for community and personal growth.

Thank you to Henry Stemp for his incredible dedication in making his community a better place!

The Executive Committee of the Tacoma Athletic Commission thanks all TAC members for their wonderful support during the 2020-21 year. Also, a huge thank you goes to all athletic directors, coaches, school administrators, game officials, and parents for their work to ensure studet-athletes were able to compete this year. We are in awe of your work. Thank you!
