June MASRC Athlete of the Month Announced!
June's MASRC Athlete of the Month is...
ELLE WOOD
Elle Wood is a Métis multi-sport athlete from Winnipeg, MB.
"Elle Wood is a proud Métis student at St. Mary's Academy in grade 11 with an over 90% average in her studies. She does her best to be involved in the community and in her high school. She acts on important issues at St. Mary's Academy where she is the co-head of the Mission Club, a member of the Mental Health Day planning committee (focus on grade 10s), a Peer Support classroom presenter, a Model United Nations delegate, and member of the Wellbeing Committee. This year she also had the privilege to peer mentor a student in grade seven. One of her biggest accomplishments this year was organizing the Water With Blessings fundraiser to help increase access to clean water for people in Kenya raising over $1,500.
Elle plays on her high school varsity volleyball team, runs on her high school varsity cross country team, and is a member of the high school's golf team. For her club volleyball team, she was Captain and led her team to win a bronze at Nationals for Tier 1, Division 3 (May 2022). Recently, she was a member of the St. Mary's Academy Cross Country Team that won Varsity Girls Cross Country Provincials (May, 10, 2022) and St. Mary's Academy Golf Team where they won provincials and were awarded MHSAA Provincial Girls Golf Champions (May 27, 2022).
Elle is a good example for other athletes because she is a very positive team player and recognizes the strengths in others as opposed to only focusing on herself. She is inclusive and brings team members together to talk about the sport as well as life outside of the sport. In her role as Captain on her club volleyball team, Elle often led discussions in the timeout sessions to boost moral, provide advice, and highlight successes."
