The Clinton Athletics Department recognized four student-athletes for their accomplishments in competition and academics on Wednesday morning at the Clinton High School Media Center. The Student-Athlete of the Month Award was sponsored and presented by State Farm Agent Tim Bruss -- a long-time, proud supporter of all Lady Arrows and Arrows.

The September recipients were Clinton Arrow Swim Team's Hayes Montgomery and Lady Arrow golfer Ellyn Burchfield. The October recipients were Lady Arrow Cross Country runner Kaedyn Wilson and Arrow golfer Law Whitfield.

Here is what their respective coaches had to say about the student-athletes:

ELLYN BURCHFIELD

"(Ellyn's) potential is all positive," Head Golf Coach Clay Norton said. "Ellyn has such a natural golf swing and her game is fun to watch."

HAYES MONTGOMERY

"Hayes has been a strong, valuable part of the Clinton Swim team this year," Head Swim Coach Marcy Rushing said. "He has been working hard all year for his time improvements, and it has paid off."

KAEDYN WILSON

"She is a determined young lady who is always looking for ways to improve," Head Girls' Cross Country Coach Allen Marett said. "Along with the other seniors, she has given her best for six years to the team."

LAW WHITFIELD

"It has been a pleasure to watch Law grow in his golf game and play at a high level," Norton said. "He is such a great individual and that transcends into his approach at golf."
