Borgmann, Cronk repeat as Flagler Palm Coast Athletes of the Year | Observer Local News

Christina Borgmann and Colby Cronk were named the Female and Male Athletes of the Year, respectively, at the Flagler Palm Coast Athletic Awards Show on May 20 at the Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center.

The two seniors were also the Bulldogs’ Athletes of the Year in 2024. They both won state championships for the second year in a row. Borgmann defended her state wrestling title, and Cronk repeated as Class 4A state shot put champ.

Cronk also set the FPC football team’s career sacks record. He attended the awards show remotely from North Carolina State University where he has begun his first college semester and is training for his freshman football season. The defensive end is FPC’s first football player to sign with a power-five football conference directly out of high school.

Borgmann helped lead the Bulldogs to the state girls wrestling championship. They won FPC’s Team of the Year Award. Borgmann and Kendall Bibla each won a state title for the second time, while five others on the team placed in the top five: Ana Vilar (second); Joslyn Johnson, Mariah Mills and Tiana Fries (third); and Alexa Calidonio (fifth).

Wrestling coach David Bossardet, who has stepped down after moving into the district office as Flagler Schools’ safety specialist, won the Coach of the Year Award.

Three-sport athlete Corinthians “RJ” Watson won the Spirit of Flagler Award, representing the embodiment of what it means to be a Bulldog on and off the field. Watson was on the football, basketball and track and field teams. He placed eighth in triple jump at the Class 4A track and field championships. Watson plans to play football this fall at St. Thomas University in Miami.
