The South Colonie Central School District honored its senior athletes at the annual signing day event. Families and friends gathered to celebrate 34 senior athletes as they signed their National Letter of Intent or commitment letter to play sports at the collegiate level.

"We are proud to highlight the following Colonie athletes as they head off to play intercollegiate athletics," said William Roemer, South Colonie athletic director. "Athletics is a significant part of their lives, and it’s wonderful to see them continue their careers in college. This event celebrates the hard work they've put into their sport within our district, and I wish our athletes the best in their future academic and athletic pursuits."

Colonie athletes proudly wore their college gear, and each student-athlete had the opportunity to speak briefly. Most expressed gratitude to their families for their years of support and encouragement.
