Star Student Athlete: Meet Burlington’s Nicolette

BURLINGTON, MA — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

This submission comes from Valarie who nominated her daughter, Nicolette, of Burlington.

What sport does the star student athlete play?

Gymnastics

Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

She has been involved in competitive gymnastics since she was 5 or 6. She had ankle surgery (after a LONG road of PT, injections, and 5 doctors), in January to correct a sprain sustained 1.5 years prior. During all that time, she was unable to perform, but went to every practice (did conditioning only) and meet (to support her teammates). She did the same for her first year in HS gymnastics. She's now back, ready to start competing. She gives back by coaching younger gymnasts several times a week. All this while maintaining all A/A+ in school, including an AP class. She is a great friend and very conscientious.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

She has the kindest heart and always thinks of others.

Keep up the great work, Nicolette!
