Two Northern Kentucky high school students were awarded scholarships from Pig Works, the parent organization of the Flying Pig Marathon.
The annual scholarships are awarded equally to male and female students who are members of their high school’s cross country or track and field teams and who demonstrate dedication, teamwork and service to their schools and communities. Adam Kolar from Villa Madonna Academy in Villa Hills and Nathan Ruth from Bishop Brossart High School in Alexandria received the scholarships.
“This is the second year we have been able to host the scholarship breakfast event,” CEO of Pig Works Iris Simpson Bush said in a press release. “Because of the generosity of the Bob and Jeanne Coughlin Foundation, we were able increase the number of student-athletes who will benefit from these awards.”
“Our goal for The Flying Pig Scholars program is to ensure the sustainability of the scholarship program while allowing others to join in supporting lifelong runners who start competing in high school and are good students and citizens,” said Bob Coughlin, who is also the founder of the Flying Pig Marathon.
