Both Dykema and this year's male award winner Robert Kenny of York High School, will be formally recognized at the Taste of Oak Brook and Fireworks on Saturday, July 3rd at 4:00 PM.
The Oak Brook Athlete of the Year trophy and award information and pictures of the current year’s winners are on permanent display at the Oak Brook Park District’s Family Recreation Center.
Congratulations, Amanda!
