The Indian Hills Community College Athletic Department has named Elijah Berry as January’s Student-Athlete of the Month. This accolade honors student-athletes who have demonstrated outstanding commitment in both their respective sport, as well as the classroom.

Berry, a freshman from Snellville, Georgia has been nothing but stellar around the oval. Berry is currently the programs record holder in the 600y (1:10.81), 800m (1:55.40) and second all-time in the 400m (48.77). He has also qualified for the NJCAA National meet in the 400m, 600m, and 800m. His record times have him nationally ranked at 4^th in the 600m, 7^th in the 800m and 23^rd in the 400m. Coach Ewing said, “Elijah has established himself as one of the best middle distance runners in the NJCAA. He is a true triple threat. We’re still figuring out what his best event is. His range has caught the attention of LSU, Texas A&M, Iowa, Iowa State and Minnesota to name a few. What I really enjoy about Elijah is his attitude and how important academics are to him. He has such a positive influence on our team and is a very impressive young man. He has only scratched the surface of what he will accomplish this year as a Warrior.
