Coach Vera has high words of praise when notified of Jaidyn’s selection as woman student-athlete of the month.

“The qualities and character of Jaidyn Christophe can’t be stifled. Whether it’s on or off the field, she is a bright light among her peers and thrives in the face of adversity. Jaidyn sees every challenge as an opportunity to get better. Rather than talk about her plan to work hard and improve Jai simply acts. She’s positive and realistic and brings a sense of hope to every situation. We are a privileged group of people to know her and to work with her day in and day out.”

“Isaiah has always had the all-American talent on the field but now he has put that same effort and work ethic in the classroom. He has shown growth and maturity each semester. Isaiah has improved his time management and most importantly his communication with his teachers, coaches, and academic staff. When student-athletes put in the same effort on the field as they do off the field, they start to see the bigger picture and he has now seen the light and it has clicked for him. We are very proud of his growth and looking forward to seeing him reach his goals.” said his position coach Darren Garrigan

“Student-Athletes have very demanding schedules. It is important to showcase them outside of the field/court. Identifying Student-Athletes of the month is a great avenue to recognize our students for their hard work and improvements in the classroom,” said Assistant Athletics Director/ Academic Enhancement – Kimberly Evans
