Lightning Athletics Names CIF-SS Student Athletes of 2024
Arden Stobart ‘24 and Daniel Joshi '24 were recently named as Sage Hill School’s candidates for the 2023-24 CIF-Southern Section (CIF-SS) Student Athletes of the Year Award.
Arden is a top singles player and senior team captain for the Girls’ Varsity Tennis team. Daniel is a multi-sport standout athlete in Cross Country, Boys’ Soccer and Track & Field.
Each CIF-SS member school is invited to name a male and female “Student Athlete of the Year.” Each must be a senior who has maintained a minimum of a 3.5 GPA (4.0 scale) over the past three years, in addition to earning a letter in at least one varsity sport and participating in extracurricular activities such as music, theater and service-learning groups.
Lightning Athletics also saw several teams earn high marks once again in the CIF-SS Academic Awards program.
To be considered, teams must have at least five student-athletes with a minimum 3.0 GPA average (4.0 scale) in the first semester or first two quarters of the 2023-24 school year. The highest team GPA in each sport category by enrollment determines the winner. Schools are divided into two enrollment categories: 1,500 students and above and 1,499 students and below.
Sage Hill had several notable finishes this year in the team category:
First Place
Girls’ swim and dive
Girls’ track and field
Boys’ water polo
Second Place
Girls’ lacrosse

This is a tremendous honor, and we are very proud of all our Lightning student athletes!”
