Students recognized from Northwest, North Central, and Central Arkansas
The scholarship recognizes student athletes who exemplify leadership, sportsmanship and integrity. “We are pleased to provide four scholarships this year, up from two,” said Bill Torrey, owner of Rock City Running. “Ellie, Jennifer, Sawyer and Caden are the total package. They are well deserving." Torrey said.
Kinco Constructors is a proud co-sponsor of the scholarship in its fifth year. “A lifelong runner myself, it was a natural choice to partner with Rock City Running” said William Fletcher, EVP/COO at Kinco Constructors. “Investing in a student’s education is fundamentally important to myself and both companies.”
Additionally, the Little Rock Roadrunners Club and Manfred and Sheila Galatowitsch made significant contributions to the scholarship.
Applicants were judged based on high school achievements in track, cross country and other extracurricular activities, grade point average, and their answer to an essay question. The four were selected out of more than 65 applicants statewide.
