Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of the Rock City Running and Kinco Constructors Student Athlete Scholarship, four students from around the state receive checks for $2,000 each.
Those students are pictured above (l. to r.) Rosebud High School graduate Caden Calhoun, Lincoln High School graduate Sawyer Copeland, Bryant High School graduate Jennifer Guillot, and Atkins High School graduate Ellie Taylor.
Pictured above is Jennifer Guillot of Bryant High School.
Miss Guillot is planning to attend University of Arkansas at Little Rock to study Biology. She currently works for a local clinic as a histologist. She was in JROTC for four years and was Corps Commander. Guillot is also active at church. Congratulations to Jennifer and all the other scholarship recipients.
Applicants were judged based on high school achievements in track, cross country and other extracurricular activities, grade point average, and their answer to an essay question.
The scholarship recognizes student athletes who exemplify leadership, sportsmanship and integrity. “We are pleased to provide four scholarships this year instead of two,” said Bill Torrey, owner of Rock City Running. “Ellie, Jennifer, Sawyer and Caden are the total package. We are thrilled to make this announcement,” Torrey said. Rock City Running is a family-owned running/walking store in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Kinco Constructors is a co-sponsor of the scholarship in its fifth year. “A lifelong runner myself, it was a natural choice to partner with Rock City Running” said William Fletcher, EVP/COO at Kinco Constructors. “Investing in a student’s education is fundamentally important to myself and both companies.” Kinco Constructors purports to provide the value for clients, team members, and industry partners.
Additionally, the Little Rock Roadrunners Club and Manfred and Sheila Galatowitsch made significant contributions to the scholarship. The LRRC is a non-profit organization of runners and walkers.
