NORWAY — Owen Baij and Lauren Adams received senior athlete honors at Norway High School’s awards and scholarship program.

Baij was awarded the Quentin Nolte Trophy and Adams was presented with the Clarence “Towe” Castelaz Trophy.

Each year, these trophies are awarded to the senior boy and girl athletic-letter winners with the best athletic and scholastic record throughout high school.

The Raymond Bray “Too Strong” Award represents an athlete who showed the willingness to play strong at every practice or game, and when they stepped onto the football field or basketball court, battled to do all they could do. The football recipient was Landon Ross and the basketball recipient was Elliott Kraemer.

The Carrie DeRidder Spirit Award was presented to cheerleader Isabel Lawnicki.

The Britney Kleikamp Memorial Award was given to cheerleader Kaylee Gendron.

Athletic scholarships were also presented.

The recipients of the Norway-Vulcan Athletic Booster Club Scholarships were Ashley Carlson, Anna deBidart, Kara Stanchina, Paytan Carlson, Josh Schiltz, Ella Wojtowicz, Maddex Burklund, Lauren Adams and Elliott Kraemer.

The Don Hill Memorial Scholarship went to Elliott Kraemer.

The $500 scholarship is given annually in memory of former teacher and basketball coach, Donald M. Hill. The recipient must be a male varsity letter winner, preferably in basketball, who intends to attend a four-year institution of higher learning.

The Ronberg Memorial Scholarship of $250 went to Elliott Kraemer.

The recipient must be a varsity football award winner who has displayed leadership qualities and his high school academic record must indicate the capability to do college work.

The annual Charles E. Day Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $500 was presented to Lauren Adams. This scholarship is awarded to a graduating female athlete award winner who has, by her actions, demonstrated the traits required of the “total athlete.”

The recipient must exemplify the true meaning of sport: “Not how tall you stand nor how high you reach, but how much you give of what you have to give.”
