The Effingham Athletic Department runs an Athlete of the Month program every month. Athletes are nominated by head coaches based upon the following criteria:
Stats, Accomplishments, Character, Coachability, Leadership, Sportsmanship
Nominations are then sent out to ALL high school coaches to vote on a winner. They will have one male and one female winner each month. Winners receive a Treign Athlete of the Month shirt.
The two athletes chosen for the month of October
Senior Hannah Thompson – Volleyball
“Hannah has been a positive leader on our team. She leads our team in set assists and has a great serve. She recently surpassed the 1000th assists in
her career. She doesn’t get down and always encourages teammates. She represents our school well.”
– Coach Laurie Bohnhoff
Junior Alex Gordon – Cross Country
“Not only is Alex our #1 runner for the boy’s team, he possesses great leadership qualities in practice and on each cross-country course. Alex earned a
spot to the sectional XC meet by placing as the #1 individual. He has high expectations to advance to the state XC meet this year. He will most likely be
a qualifier which will be his first opportunity to run at the state XC meet since jr high. Alex also earned All Apollo Honors as a top 10 finisher. So far
his best time for a 3-mile course is 15:35.”
– Coach Jennifer Kirk
