The Iowa High School Athletic Director’s Association has recognized a Newton High School senior with a regional award. Alex Garvis has been named the Association’s Student Scholarship winner for the Central District.
To qualify for this scholarship an athlete must be a senior in high school who has participated in two sports for at least two years and earned a varsity letter in each of those two sports. Academically, the student athlete must have achieved a minimum B+ average, be ranked in the top 25% of their class, or have an ACT score of 24 or an SAT score of 1100 in Math and Reading.
