The Daily News held its annual awards ceremony after the school year and honored All-Stars from all three of its sports seasons. The Daily News also bestowed the award for Female and Male Athlete of the Year.

And those two winners recently joined host Tommy Cassell on this episode of the Cassell's Corner podcast.

Natick's Grace Connolly and Wayland's Nick Smith were named the Female Athlete of the Year and Male Athlete of the Year, respectively, and talked about what that honor meant to them with Tommy.

The two gifted athletes talked all things sports, and the college recruiting process, as Grace will run cross country and track at Stanford University while Nick will swim at Middlebury College. 

Oh, and the two student-athletes are pretty smart as well. So Tommy ended the podcast with some competitive pop culture trivia.
