Freshmen Lily Stankevich and Alexander Konlian were both named March Student Athletes of the Month. 

Both Stankevich and Konlian start on varsity and play key roles on their team. Stankevich is the starting second baseman on the softball team and Konlian plays midfield for the boys lacrosse team.

“I think of qualities like commitment and time management,” Stankevich said. “I think balancing academics and sports need responsibility and teamwork.”

Stankevich was also a gymnast for Law in the winter. Before coming to Law, she went to both the Little League World Series and the Junior League World Series. 

“I feel proud and happy about being Athlete of the Month,” Stankevich said. “It shows the hard work that I have put into my sport, and that brings me a sense of accomplishment.”

Stankevich is hitting second on the team and is consistently getting on base. Stankevich is always putting the work outside of practice and in practice. 

Konlian is doing the same for boys lacrosse. He keeps his grades up in school and keeps working hard on the field. 

“I have two study periods to work in and practice is usually from 4-6 p.m., I can do work before and after,” Konlian said. “I have to plan to get my homework done before the days I have games.”

Konlian worked extremely hard to be starting varsity and his work has paid off. 

“It feels super good winning Athlete of the Month – at the time I was surprised and shocked but I am mostly excited and happy about it,” Konlian said. “The qualities that I think define me as a student athlete are working in school and on the field.”

Law softball coach Mrs. Blude is very excited that one of her players got named Student Athlete of the Month. 

“It is impressive for a freshman to have such a great start to their season,” Blude said “She worked hard all winter and it is paying off.”
