The annual celebration of another successful year of Mexico Tiger athletics saw dozens of student-athletes honored for their achievements on and off the field during the 2024–25 Block M Athletic Awards.

The awards ceremony, held June 4 in the Mexico High School Avery Skinner Auditorium, featured a night of celebration, recognition, and reflection, as coaches, families and community members came together to applaud the accomplishments of MACS athletes.

Athletic Director Andrew Gates offered his congratulations to all teams and individuals for their hard work and dedication, and shared best wishes with graduating seniors as they prepare for the next chapter in their lives.

Special awards and scholarships opened the evening, followed by individual team recognitions and MVP honors. The night concluded with the prestigious Lawrence “Sparky” Rector Athlete of the Year awards, given to Giana Cutuli and Brayden Mack — a final moment of pride in a packed house of Tiger supporters.
