Selflessness is a quality that always benefits others, but sometimes goes unrecognized. The Athlete CRUSH College Impact Awards Lead Award looks to find athletes that display these qualities and senior Kelly Dopke from Idaho soccer was a prime example.
Dopkewon this award due to not only strong performance in the classroom and on the soccer pitch, but for the time and effort she puts forth into the community. Dopke takes part in events such as Alzheimer’s walks, while also volunteering her time as a caregiver and an intern at the Pullman Regional Hospital.
“I’ve coached a lot of players in my lifetime and (Dopke) exemplifies what you want in a college student-athlete,” Idaho soccer Head Coach Jeremy Clevenger said.
