College Sports Await 21 Vikings Athletes

About 7% of high school athletes go on to play sports in college. At Seaford High School, that number is consistently double. The college-bound athletes from the Class of 2025 were recognized at an evening letter of intent signing ceremony on May 1. 

The senior class will have 21 athletes go on to play at 20 different colleges next year both near and far. They represent nine of Seaford’s varsity teams. 

Kevin Witt, director of physical education, health and athletics, said their hard work and determination is what brought them to this milestone moment. He reminded them to thank their teachers, coaches and parents for all of the support and encouragement offered along the way.  

The bleachers were filled with proud parents, grandparents and siblings, many wearing shirts to celebrate the college choices of their respective athletes. During a slide presentation, coaches spotlighted the accomplishments of their seniors. The Seaford Booster Club decorated the gymnasium, making large posters with the college logo for each athlete as well as placing balloons on the chairs based on their future school’s colors.
