Coach’s quote: “Alex Boring has been an inspiration for many young golfers during her years as a student- athlete at Conemaugh Township. She is a three-time district champion and has progressively gotten better each and every year and really each and every season. She has certainly shown by example how you can improve incrementally during any varsity sports season. She does all of this while being an amazing person. In my years of knowing Alex, she has never said a demeaning word about any athlete or student that she has encountered. She shows true sportsmanship and should be a huge inspiration for athletes of any sport. She is truly one of a kind. It certainly has been a pleasure to watch her compete and mature at the highest level.” – Conemaugh Township golf coach Chuck Lesko
