A Scholarship Fund in honor of

Clayton Smith

July 29, 2008 – September 11, 2026

Clayton found purpose and built some of his strongest friendships through running track and cross country during his high school years. He competed in running for South Lake, East Ridge and Lake Minneola High Schools, becoming part of the athletic communities at each school. His involvement in the sport created connections with teammates, coaches and fellow students who are now left to remember the time they shared with him.

Clayton also carried a passion in doing for others, kindness, compassion and generosity, which is why we started the

Clayton Still Runs Memorial Scholarship Fund

We hope this scholarship will help spread the joy of running that Clayton held so deeply.
