MONROE - Both Darlington senior Tyson Miehe and Black Hawk senior Jen Wellnitz were named WIAA Scholar Athletes finalists recently.
They are two of the WIAA's 32 Scholar Athlete finalists named April 17. Miehe is the second member of his family to earn the statewide honor: His brother, Kent Miehe, was a WIAA Scholar Athlete in 2012.
To determine the top 32 finalists, four girls and four boys are chosen from each of the four WIAA divisions based on athletic and academic achievement. Sixteen of the finalists have a grade-point average of 4.0, while the average GPA is 3.85. The 32 scholar athlete finaists were chosen from 825 seniors nominated by more than 425 high schools in the state. Every year since 1984, each of the WIAA-member high schools has been invited to nominate one boy and one girl for the WIAA Scholar Athlete Award.
The scholar athlete finalists and their families will be honored at an awards ceremony Sunday, May 4 at the Jefferson Street Inn in Wausau. Each WIAA Scholar Athlete finalist will receive a medallion, certificate and will take a special plaque with them for their school's trophy case.
