Leah Strickland, 14, of Elkview WV, became a heavenly angel on August 31, 2022. Leah always strived for perfection and had the kindest soul. She was an honor student at Herbert Hoover High School and loved to play soccer, run, swim, travel, and was an avid roller coaster junkie. She played on the HHHS Girls soccer team and ran with the cross country team. Her parents Michael and Emily Strickland wanted to keep her memory alive by creating the Leah's Legacy Scholarship and the Leah's Legacy 5K race. The Scholarship is going to be awarded to one Herbert Hoover student each year who at minimum plays three sports, has over a 4.0 GPA, and 120 hours in community service.
