Sophia Ogot '16 receives Positive Athlete Pittsburgh Award
As a three-sport varsity athlete at Ellis, Sophia Ogot '16 is encouraging, hardworking, and always shows a positive attitude towards sports, and everything that she does. Her character stood out to Shayla Scott, Director of Athletics, who nominated Sophia for Positive Athlete Pittsburgh, an organization led by Hines Ward to promote the benefits of positivity to young athletes. The program shares positive stories about the kind of role models young athletes should aspire to be.
Sophia, nominated for girl’s lacrosse, was chosen as one of 32 winners of the 2015-2016 Positive Athlete Pittsburgh Program. About 1,000 student-athletes and coaches were nominated from over 150 schools. Winners were chosen based upon the seven definitions of a positive athlete: Optimistic Attitude, Encouraging Teammate, Servant Leader, Heart for Others, Admits Imperfections, Always Gives 100%, and Puts Team First.
Sophia was given the award, along with other winners, at the C Harper Positive High School Athlete Awards located at the Heinz History Center in Downtown Pittsburgh on Tuesday, June 14, 2016.
We are very proud of Sophia and all she has accomplished thus far. Congratulations!
