2025 Winner

Logan Lott

The 2025 CHAMP Award - Courage, Heart, Attitude, Modesty and Pride - is presented to Logan Lott, a sophomore at Trinity Christian Academy, who provided critical first aid to a classmate and teammate, Jackson Hawks, during the Division 2-A West Region Cross Country Championships at TCA. 

"I am so grateful for this honor," Logan said. "I don't deserve it. God put the right person in the right place at the right time. It was all the Lord." 

During the boys' competition, Hawks collapsed on the course, lost consciousness and stopped breathing, but Lott, who was nearby, responded to an alert from a bystander and immediately began chest compressions. 

Her actions restored Hawks' breathing before personnel from the Emergency Medical Services arrived. 

Hawks was transported to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and later released. 

After assisting her teammate, Lott competed in her own race, improving her personal record by one minute and 10 seconds, and finishing 35th in the event. 

In addition to cross country and track, Lott participates in varsity soccer, bike racing, and is involved in Bible study, Best Buddies, and student government. 

Lott also received the NFHS Student-Athlete Award of Excellence from the TSSAA and the National Federation of State High School Association (NFHS) for her 'quick thinking and decisive action.' 

Lott's actions exemplify the positive impact student-athletes can have beyond athletic competition. Her courage and selflessness serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of sportsmanship and looking out for others in educational athletics. 

Students involved in school sports have a platform to demonstrate positive values and inspire their peers and community. Lott's actions set a standard for all student-athletes to emulate.
