Lindsay Childs Female Student Athlete of the Month

Central Penn College would like to congratulate Lindsay Childs on being named Female Student Athlete of the Month for the month of October! Our Student Athlete of the Month award winner is not only someone who excels on the field/court, but someone who takes pride in academics and is involved in community service/leadership. Thanks so much to our partnership with Duck Donuts, we are able to provide our honorees with some Duck Donuts merch as well as a gift card for a dozen of their amazing donuts! 

Coach Grubesky’s nomination: 

I am nominating one of our team co-captains, Lindsay Childs, for Female Student Athlete of the Month. 

In the process of transferring to Central Penn, Lindsay got involved with our team’s off-season plans before she even started classes, by signing a waiver, so she could start working out with our team right away. It was clear that she bought into the program that we are trying to build at Central Penn.

Lindsay was elected a team captain by her teammates and our coaching staff concurred with the players’ vote. Our coaches believed that she had earned the captain’s arm band with her intensity and leadership during our training sessions. 

Our two captains have different leadership styles. Mariah Bair quietly leads by example and Lindsay is more vocal in the positive way she helps her teammates at practice and at games. 

Lindsay’s versatility and willingness to play a variety of positions on the field enables our coaches to make formation changes and other tactical adjustments, especially in the small-sided games, that we played this season. Lindsay is a tenacious defender and has an excellent shot. 

Lindsay also excels in the classroom. She was nominated for USCAA National All-Academic Team honors with her 3.58 GPA and made the Summer Term Dean’s List with her superior performance in her criminal justice studies. 

She has also worked with Mariah and our coaching staff coordinating community service projects, one of the points of emphasis in our women’s soccer program.

Coach Grubesky said, “I am pleased to nominate Lindsay for this award. Our coaching staff wholeheartedly recommends Lindsay Childs for October Female Student Athlete of the Month recognition.”

Congratulations, Lindsay! Go Knights!
