Senior Phoebe Kirk, previously a finalist for the Positive Coaching Alliance Triple-Impact Competitor Scholarship, has won the scholarship.

Kirk has been a notable runner in cross country and track since middle school.

Kirk wrote that her essay displayed excellence in Personal Mastery: Making oneself better;  Leadership: Making one’s teammates better; and Honoring the Game: Making the game better.

Athletic director, Ryan Hogue, encouraged Kirk to apply for this scholarship opportunity.

On reaction to her win, Hogue said, “Phoebe is an outstanding student-athlete who has found her success through simply outworking her competition and having a passion for running. She makes everyone at the Academy very proud.”

Kirk will receive a $1,000 college scholarship. She hopes to run in college and eventually become an astronaut in the future.
