2019 SEGL Financial Aid Award: Sophie Shipley

Sophie is a member of the Louisville Skating Academy in Louisville, KY.  Sophie is active in synchro and competed with her team at the 2020 Midwestern Sectionals. Sophie is described by her coach, Heidi Whitlow,  as “a joy to work with and gives her best at every lesson.  She is always the first to be in position at practice.”  In her essay, Sophie describes what skating means to her.  “There’s something about skating I cannot find in other sports.  It is a feeling I have when I’m on the ice.  I feel freedom…” 

Congratulations Sophie!
