Two special events are held annually in memory of Wakefield School's former Athletic Director and Business Manager, McKelvy Costin, who died unexpectedly.
The Kelvy's Golf Tournament and Kelvy's 5K Run/1 Mile Walk are held in the fall. Kelvy, as he was affectionately known, had a great love of golf, running, and playing fairly. His code for good sportsmanship is on display throughout the Delaney Athletic Conference. These two events honor his ideals.
Mary Ann and Tucker Withers, parents of a current Wakefield student and two Wakefield alumni, are instrumental in the success of these events. Mary Ann says, "Kelvy's Run/Walk and Golf continue to be events that unite Wakefield's staff, parents, and students with comraderie and friendly competition. They also provide an avenue for those who live outside the Wakefield community to participate and support the efforts of the school to help the financial aid and athletic departments."
Detailed information, registration, and sponsorship forms for the Kelvy's events can be found in the documents on the right. Please contact Tucker or Mary Ann Withers at (703)327-4206 or via email for further information. At Wakefield School, inquiries are being taken by Jennifer Miller at 540-253-7538.
