Congratulations to 2018 FOCA Scholarship Winners

By in General

We received over 50 applications for each of these awards, from a very talented pool of seniors, making it extremely difficult to choose the final award recipients.  The five different FOCA awards ($1000 each) were presented last week -each awarded to a young woman and a young man.  Sports represented this year included baseball, basketball, crew cross country and track, diving and swimming, football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling.  A fair number of our awardees have excelled in not just one sport, but two, and many have been on the varsity team during their entire career at CRLS.
