Lilly Elston Named December Athlete of the Month
Hopedale, IL – Hopedale Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine in collaboration with Hopedale Medical Complex is pleased to announce Lilly Elston, a senior, from Tremont High School as our December Athlete of the Month. Lilly is described by her nominator as having a strong work ethic and being a leader in athletics and in the classroom. Lilly is a member of the softball and basketball teams. She holds a 3.97 GPA and is a member of National Honor Society.
In conjunction with Hopedale Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine, the outreach partner school districts athletic directors and “in season” coaches nominate students from their district for this distinguished award. The individuals that are chosen must not only excel as athletes, but also must be fully rounded in their approach to scholarship, leadership, character, and community service.
For being awarded the December Athlete of the Month, Lilly, will have the opportunity to be named the Athlete of the Year in May, and be awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Hopedale Medical Foundation to further her education. Hopedale Medical Complex and Hopedale Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine are pleased to continue this tradition with Dee-Mack, Delavan, Hartsburg-Emden, and Tremont school districts during their 2025/2026 Sports Seasons.
