2019 WIAA Scholar Athlete Award Nominees
Congratulations to #DarlingtonRedbirds IIse Mendez and Trae Schilling for being nominated for the WIAA Scholar-Athlete Award.
Thirty-two senior students attending Wisconsin public and private high schools are named winners of WIAA Scholar Athlete Award annually, presented by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA). The program launched in 1984 to honor scholastic and athletic excellence.
Sixteen boys and sixteen girls are recognized each year at an award ceremony held each spring, in Wausau. The WIAA Scholar Athlete Award program has been underwritten by Marshfield Clinic, which will host the awards ceremony for the 32 statewide winners at the Hilton Garden Inn in Wausau. Every year, each of the WIAA member high schools in the state is invited to nominate one boy and one girl for Scholar Athlete honors.
This is a great honor and a well-deserved nomination. We are proud of you Ilse and Trae!! #REDBIRDPRIDE
