Athlete of the Year - Candis Kowalik, Warwick Vets

Posted

Candis Kowalik ended her high school career the way she began it – as the all-around state gymnastics champion. 

The Warwick Vets senior left her mark on the ’Canes’ program, winning state titles in three of her four years with the team – the only year that she didn’t win was due to an injury. 

Her latest championship came this past winter at Rhode Island College, as Kowalik posted a score of 37.875, with North Kingstown’s Allie DiBiase not far behind at 37.625. 

The win made Kowalik just the fourth gymnast since the state meet began in 1973 to be a three-time state champion. 

“Candis completed her senior year with a solid performance at every competition,” Vets’ coach Stacy Capone said of her captain. 

Kowalik’s leadership was second to none, as she truly brought the best out of her teammates. 

Because of this, Vets earned a third-place finish at the state meet, earning the ’Canes a spot at New Englands. 

“Candis’ leadership consisted of making others better as a result of her presence and support,” Capone said. “Consistently pushing her teammates to improve will ensure that her influence lasts in her absence. She will be missed on many levels...by me and the team.”
