AWARD FOR GOING THE EXTRA MILE

Alexa Remigio, Bishop Gorman

WHAT HER COACH SAID

Alexa is one of the strongest and most dedicated athletes on my team. She is a role model to all of the other girls in a way that is so inspiring. Not only is she ranked at the top of her class academically, but she is a three-sport athlete, president of the student body and somehow still finds time to bake muffins for the team for breakfast.

Alexa is a wonderful human being and she is a fighter. Two years ago, she had decided that she would not be able to continue running. She was having a lot of issues with her knees and she was in constant pain; and it was halting her progression. So she took a step back, not sure if she would ever come back. However, after taking a year off, she realized how much it meant to her to be on the team and how much she missed it. The physical struggles she was having were not enough to keep her spirit down and she found the courage to try again.
