GUERNSEY—The golfers won some cash and bragging rights for the next year, but 14 area students were the biggest winners as they received $7,600 in scholarship funds to use for their post high school education.
This year’s tournament marks the 29th year since the tournament was established to help with the high costs of pursuing a degree, something members of the Frederick family have supported for many years, some as teachers and board members in the local school system for many years. Students are encouraged to apply each year they attend the school of their choice and award amounts are increased in relation to how many years the student has attended classes.
This year’s recipients include: Alexis Elmore ($700-University of Wyoming); Jasmine Castellaw ($700-UW); Katrina Christensen ($700-Chadron State College); TyLinn Cooper ($700-Eastern Wyoming College); William Baker ($600-UW); Afton Kelley ($600-Western Nebraska College); Emmett Dawson ($500-EWC); Caleb Christensen ($500-CSC); Kolten Weinkauf ($500-WNC); Libby Logan ($500-Nebraska Wesleyan University); Chloe Holbrook ($400-EWC); Jack Baker ($400-Laramie County Community College); Shelbie Bowen ($400-Casper College); Berkleigh Pafford ($400-Casper College)
