I have had the pleasure of knowing and coaching Claire Baustian for the past five years as a student-athlete. Claire is a very gifted person who has done an outstanding job in the classroom and on the ice. She has always been committed to giving her best and raising the bar high for herself and others.
Claire has strong values that guide her sensational decision-making. She views the world in a very responsible manner. As a result, she is respected in the community, school and in her athletics. Claire never hesitates to help others, is selfless, consistent and is always willing to put in the extra work and effort.
Claire is very reliable and always can be counted on. She truly excels in the classroom earning one of the highest GPA’s on our team for five consecutive years. As a coach and teacher, I know I can always rely on Claire because of her willingness to do what’s best for her teammates. She’s always going out of her way to help in any way possible.
Claire has been a tremendous teammate as well. As our seasons progressed, her teammates always look to Claire for her leadership. She’s been voted by her hockey teammates, and named team captain the last two seasons. Claire has set an excellent example for our younger players of what can be achieved through hard work and dedication both on the ice and in the classroom.
Claire has outstanding qualities that are very evident on a daily basis. I believe she will succeed at whatever she sets her mind to. Therefore, I think Claire Baustian is an excellent candidate for the Hobey Baker High School Character Award.
