The May Student-Athlete of the Month is described by coaches as someone who has “been dedicated the entire season in improving in the five Strength & Conditioning domains that are the foundation of our Building Bridges model. This student-athlete regularly displays the character traits associated with success such as teamwork, respect, work ethic, humility, effort, manners, volunteerism, and they are also a four-sport athlete. The trait that stands out the most is the courage and grit that is needed to lead off 3 relays as a freshmen at the recent state qualifying meet. This level of grit helped two of those relays qualify for the state track & field meet. The May Student-Athlete of the Month is Tori Sylvester.
