FDF High School Sports Award winners showcase their talents in the Olympic Games

As the world prepares to welcome in the 2016 Olympic games later today, please join us in congratulating all of the former Florida Dairy Farmers High School Sports Awards winners who are competing. This outstanding group of individuals represents some of the best athletes in their respective sports and they’re all from the Sunshine State.

For some it’s their first trip to the games and for others 2016 may be their last chance for gold, but we’re proud to be part of the journey that took all of them from student athlete to Olympian.
