Foltz, Sommerfield finalists for MHSAA Scholar-Athlete Award

  A pair of Frankenmuth High School student-athletes are among the 120 finalists for the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s Scholar-Athlete Awards for the 2025-26 school year.

  FHS seniors Natalie Foltz and Caden Sommerfield are among the 16 students for girls Class B and boys Class B.

  Presented by Farm Bureau Insurance, this program is in its 37^th year of recognizing student-athletes since the 1989-1990 school year and again this winter will honor 32 individuals from MHSAA member schools who participate in at least one sport in which the MHSAA sponsors a postseason tournament.

  Farm Bureau Insurance underwrites the Scholar-Athlete Awards and will present a $2,000 scholarship to each recipient. Since the beginning of the program, 991 scholarships have been awarded.

  Scholarships will be presented proportionately by school classification, with eight scholarships to be awarded to Class B student-athletes.

  To be eligible for the award, students must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 (on 4.0 scale), and previously have won a varsity letter in at least one sport in which the MHSAA sponsors a postseason tourney. Students also were asked to respond to a series of short essay questions and submit two letters of recommendation and a 500-word essay on the importance of sportsmanship in educational athletics.

  The Class B student-athlete winners will be announced on Tuesday, February 10, on the MHSAA website.
