PREP NOTEBOOK: Everett School District honors spring scholar athletes

The Everett School District announced its Spring Scholar-Athletes on Monday. One boy and one girl from each district high school (Cascade, Everett and Jackson) were honored.

The awards were created in 2005 "to recognize student-athletes who may not be stars in competition but exhibit greatness in the classroom and in the community," according to a district statement. To be considered students must have a minimum 3.2 grade-point average and participate in a varsity sport.

Here are details about the winners, provided by the district:

Cascade High School

Chris Wilson -- boys track
The four-year varsity-team letter winner and current team captain has a 3.75 GPA and is a member of the National Honor Society.

Lezlie Grieser -- girls golf
Spent significant time with several service groups. Has a 3.64 GPA and is a member of Honor Society.

Everett High School

Brent Swezey -- baseball
The two-year team captain has a 3.98 GPA and was also an all-conference football player.

Maggie Burton -- girls golf
Has qualified for four consecutive state golf tournaments. Has a 3.98 GPA, volunteers as a Sunday school teacher and is a student leader for Everett High's Young Life club.

Jackson High School

Christopher McGee -- baseball
Participated in baseball and football all four years of high school, lettering twice in baseball and three times in football. Has a 3.73 GPA and is president of Jackson's math club.

Danielle Bowlden -- girls golf
A varsity player for two seasons, she has a 3.94 GPA and has taken advanced-placement classes throughout her years at Jackson.

Multi-event meet returns to Lake Stevens

Some of the state's most well-rounded track and field athletes will have a chance to win $2,000 of scholarship money May 30-31 at Lake Stevens High.

For the second straight year the Washington State Combined Events Championships -- also known as the Dennis McDonald Multi-Events Championships -- will take place in Lake Stevens.

According to co-meet director Chris Mattingly, this is the first time scholarships will be offered at the competition, which features male and female high-school-age athletes competing in the heptathlon (seven events) and decathlon (10 events).

Seniors are encouraged to apply for two $1,000 scholarships, Mattingly said. A selection committee of meet organizers and coaches will award scholarships based on athletic ability, academic achievement and community service, said Mattingly.

At least 80 boys and girls are expected to compete, Mattingly said. Brittany Tri of Lake Stevens is among local girls who plan to participate, and Gig Harbor's Bree LeRoy, one of the state's elite hurdlers and jumpers, will be there too.

Last year's winners were Olympia's Casey Stevick (boys decathlon), Brittany Aanstad of Lake Stevens (girls heptathlon) and Rachele Kloke of Stanwood (girls decathlon).

Camas soccer star receives Gatorade award

Camas, which beat Nathan Hale and Mount Vernon in the first two rounds of the state tourney, plays Lakeside 3 p.m. Friday in the semifinals.
