Posted Date: 10/09/26 (10:51 AM)


The S.S. Seward Institute has recognized four students as Student Athletes of the Month for September 2026.

Athletic Director Joe DiMattina shared his thoughts on what makes each student athlete a valued member of the Spartan squad.

Nick DeRosa - Nick is always working hard on and off the field. When we had injuries to other defenders, he stepped up and changed his position for the team. He is always having fun during soccer, which helps others have fun around him and keeps the team spirit up.







Angelina Cifuni - As one of our team captains, Ang is a leader on and off the court. She is doing well with balancing her time as a student and an athlete, keeping her grades up while demonstrating a deep commitment to her team.







Francesca Falone - Francesca is an outstanding 11th-grade student-athlete who continues to excel both on the field and in the classroom. As a starting midfielder for the varsity girls soccer team, she has been a major contributor to the team’s success, leading the team with 10 goals and 2 assists. As a co-captain, Francesca leads by example through her strong work ethic, positive attitude, dedication, and commitment to her teammates.




Jason Davis - Jason has taken a leadership role with the team and is a great example for the athletes around him. He views every practice as an opportunity to improve himself. In September he ran a career best 19:12.9 in the 5000 meters.
