“His tireless effort to be the best player, teammate, student and friend is on display every day. This is why he had the success at Skagit Valley College that he had. Wyatt was [voted] NWAC North Region Second Team Infielder, hitting .324, with six homeruns, and 77 total bases. While being our leadoff hitter and starting shortstop, he also maintained a 3.76 GPA.”
