Herndon High School boys’ soccer standout Christian McLaughlin was voted Virginia’s Boys Soccer Gatorade Player of the Year for 2007-2008. In its third decade, the Gatorade Player of the Year award honors top high school student-athletes in 12 varsity sports for their outstanding athletic performance and high academic achievement standards. Nomi- nees must demonstrate exemplary personal character on and off the field. McLaughlin, a 5-foot-11 inch, 175-pound senior midfielder, scored 14 goals and passed for 16 assists this past season, lead- ing the Hornets to a 14-2 record and the Concorde District championship. He helped the Herndon boys soccer program earn a No. 1 ranking in the state and a No. 8 rank- ing in the nation by the NSCAA. As a senior, he was named First Team All- District, First Team All-Northern Region and First Team All-State.
