Back in late January, Snohomish High School junior Ike Ditzenberger was honored at the 76th annual Sports Star of the Year celebration in Seattle. Ike received the Seattle Children’s Inspirational Youth Award.
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the award ceremony on Jan. 26 at Benaroya Hall. But thanks to this video clip, which Ike’s mom e-mailed to me on Monday, I got to see Ike’s stirring acceptance speech and feel like I was there in the crowd.
Here is the video, which includes an introduction by Olympic short track speedskating star Apolo Ohno.
