Kirstin Sautel was named to the Sweet Home High School Athletic Hall of Fame
at the Booster Club’s sports awards presentation event Sunday, June 1, in the Sweet Home High School Auditorium.
Sautel, who is headed to the University of Idaho to swim for the Vandals, is a three-time state swimming champion in the 100 Breaststroke (and only lost at state to now-graduated teammate Malia “Josie” Hewitt in 2022, when Sautel was a freshman.)
| She is a 15-time district champion in swimming, was a valedictorian for this year’s graduating class and also played soccer for Sweet Home.
She and Dylan Sharp were named Distinguished Athletes for the Class of 2025, an award that recognizes athletes who didn’t just excel in their respective sport, but raised the bar for others around them. Recipients of this award are recognized as being particularly illustrious in their sporting career. |
