Swimmer Alex Alder and basketball player Royce Parham have been named the Student-Athletes of the Month for January.

Alder, a sophomore on the girls’ varsity swimming and diving team, has shown tremendous growth in the pool this season. She has recorded lifetime-best swims in the 200 free and 500 free, shaving 14 seconds off of her time in the latter.

In the classroom, Alder is taking four honors classes and one College in High School course, all the while posting a 4.09 GPA. She also earned a spot in Chamber Orchestra.

Royce Parham, a junior on the basketball team, had a historic month on the court. He recorded his 1,000^th career point early in the month before setting a program record for most points in a single game (47) later in January.

Averaging nearly 30 points per game this season, Parham has been dominant on the floor, but his achievements off the court are also noteworthy. He had A’s across the board in the first semester this year and has a 3.85 GPA.

Congratulations, Alex and Royce, and keep up the great work!
