Sophie Hagymas

I’m Sophie Hagymas, a proud member of the National Student Athlete Association (NSAA) and a former student-athlete at the University of Rhode Island, where I competed on the Women’s Track & Field team as a pole vaulter.

During my time at URI, I achieved a personal best indoor pole vault of 11'1.5" at the 2024 NEICAAA Indoor Track & Field Championship, showcasing my dedication and competitive spirit.

My experience as a Division I athlete taught me the importance of resilience, discipline, and teamwork, which I now channel into supporting the NSAA’s mission.

As the founder of NSAA, I’m passionate about helping other student-athletes navigate the challenges of balancing academics and athletics, drawing on my own journey to inspire and empower the next generation.
