Lyman Hall Student Named SCC Scholar Athletes of the Month

Lyman Hall’s Alanna Gado was among the 14 student-athletes from eight high schools to be named The SportsCenter of Connecticut/Southern Connecticut Conference Scholar Athletes of the Month for April.

Now in its ninth year, The SportsCenter of Connecticut/SCC Scholar Athlete of the Month program honors outstanding young men and women each month during the school year.

“Many thanks to the Sports Center of Connecticut for its support of the SCC and the Scholar Athlete of the Month program,” SCC Commissioner Al Carbone said. “This conference has been proud of its success for the last 20-plus years, and to be able to recognize outstanding young men and women who demonstrate the desire and ability to succeed solidifies what the SCC is all about.”

Student athletes who are selected must be a varsity letter-winner and have a 3.0/B average while demonstrating leadership qualities such as: being a positive role model; helping teammates overcome adversity; showing a commitment to self-improvement; or putting the needs of the team before themselves.

Sports Center of CT/SCC Scholar Athlete of the Month recipients and receive a certificate, commemorative T-shirt and a SportsCenter of Connecticut activity pass.

Gado, a member of the Trojans’ indoor and outdoor track teams, has been a stellar student in the classroom.

A member of the National Honor Society, Gado ranks 12th in her class and sports a 4.01 grade-point average. She is the school’s record holder in the pole vault.

“Alanna exemplifies what it is to be a true scholar athlete,” Lyman Hall athletic director Steve Baker said. “She is a true leader and a positive example for her fellow student athletes.”
