Join us in congratulating our Fall Academic All-State honorees!

For the Fall sports season, fifty-four seniors from Cache County schools have been named Academic All-State honorees by the Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA). UHSAA has helped coordinate and celebrate athletic and artistic accomplishments and performances for nearly 100 years. In that time, the Academic All-State award has come to be recognized as the highest honor afforded to student-athletes. According to the UHSAA, over 100,000 Utah high school students are involved in extracurricular sports and fine arts activities, but only a small percentage meet the requisite standards for this award. To qualify, students must be seniors in high school, members of their varsity sports team, and either maintain a 4.0 composite GPA or an index score benchmark composed of GPA + ACT/SAT score. 

 

Balancing academics and athletics is a tall order, one that often requires students to multitask. “I don’t have much free time. Often, I am working on homework en route to a game or meet because I realized the ultimate importance of academics,” Charlotte Felt said. Felt is a double-roster athlete for Green Canyon High School, participating in both Girl’s Soccer and Girl’s Cross Country, where she claimed the individual region title. Felt believes the time and effort are all worth it because of the relationships formed. “It’s so fun to share success with my friends and teammates. Whether it’s on or off the field or course, I love my friends!” 

 

Ridgeline High School volleyball player McKenna Welker echoes those sentiments. “It has taken a lot of self-discipline…to prioritize my academics while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It’s never been easy, but the rewards have been immeasurable. My favorite part has been getting to be part of a team. I have made relationships that will last a lifetime.” Welker’s team will compete with our other 4A high school teams this weekend in the state championship tournament.

 

Several other Academic All-State students achieved the region’s highest honors in both academics and sports, with 16 out of the 54 students claiming region and/or state titles in their respective events. As a school district, we are so proud of these students and commend them for their exceptional achievement!
