Yael, along with 29 student-athletes from schools in the Super Essex Conference, were recognized during ceremonies at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center. She is a member of the Lady Roadrunners’ volleyball team. Coaches selected Yael because she possesses an exceptional sense of sportsmanship, integrity, values, and ethics, and she displays these qualities, on and off the field.
