I woke up at 8 and had breakfast. I walked around town for a while and then had lunch. At 3 the hair and make-up team came. 4 hours later I was dressed and all the finishing touches were done. I got in the car and headed to the Microsoft theater. I had to do a couple interviews and then the pre-ceremony started. They announced the male athlete of the year first.
Lady: Now for our 2015-2016 National Female Gatorade player of the year is Savannah Solo. For her high school team Savannah had 31 goals and 18 assists leading her team to a record of defeated State Champion record of 27-0. Also just recently she was selected to represent the USA in Rio next month.
I went up and received my award. The other guy and I took pictures and then went back to our seats while they presented other awards. The ceremony ended and then the red carpet started. I waited until a bunch of other people went before I did. I'd walk about 10 feet and then would have to stop for more pictures before repeating again. I eventually go to the end and the was escorted up the stairs.
In the lobby of the theater I got to meet a lot of famous athletes. Eventually everyone was seated and the awards started being given out. A couple hours later all the ceremony was finished. I went back to my hotel and changed before heading to the airport. I landed in West Point around 3 and went straight to my house and fell asleep.
