PRESCOTT – Sixteen senior girls and 16 senior boys from Kenosha to Grantsburg have been selected as finalists to receive the prestigious 2022 Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association’s (WIAA) Statewide Scholar Athlete Award underwritten by Marshfield Children’s Hospital.

To determine the top 32 finalists, four boys and four girls were selected (based on both athletic and academic achievement) from each of four WIAA divisions.

“These extraordinary student athletes excel in both academics and athletics; 16 of this year’s finalists have a grade point average of 4.0 to date, while the average GPA is an amazing 3.94,” said Tom Shafranski, WIAA’s Assistant Director.

More than 830 seniors were nominated for the 2022 award by 430 high schools throughout the state. The 2022 WIAA Scholar Athlete finalists will be recognized at an awards ceremony Sunday, May 1, in Wausau. Keynote speaker will be Karyn Bye, Olympic Gold Medalist on the U.S. Women’s 1998 Hockey Team and recent inductee in the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and the National High School Hall of Fame.

Rohl has earned eight varsity letters in golf, basketball and softball. As an All-Conference team golfer, she helped the Cardinals qualify for state three times and win two state championships and also assisted her softball team in making it to state competition twice. Rohl is the first Prescott student to be recognized for this honor.

Information about the potential livestream of the event will be communicated through the district website and Facebook page when it is available.
