The Somerset High School Athletic Department is proud to announce the selection of MyKenzie Leccia and Parker Gebheim as this year’s WIAA Scholar Athlete nominees. Each school district within the WIAA membership is invited to nominate one boy and one girl for scholar athlete honors. Criteria for selection includes grade point, number of varsity letters earned during the high school career, individual awards, and participation in lead-up play to the State Tournament.

Leccia and Gebheim will receive recognition at the local level and will be honored as our Middle Border Conference Scholar Athletes at the eighteenth annual Middle Border Conference Scholar-Athlete banquet held at St. Croix Central High School on April 6th at SCC High School. The program was started by the athletic directors of the Middle Border Conference in order to honor athletes in each school for their academics as well as their athletic success.

“Somerset Robotics was represented well at the state competition this year, with two teams qualifying for State! Our young teams traveled to Appelton, WI on March 11th - 12th and participated at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, where they saw and competed against the best 48 robots in the state. Our teams were as follows: Team 9144A (Ellie Schmitt and Jacob Aubineau) and Team 9144B (Harrison Belisle, Joon Vang, and Max Conway). Members gained experience and will use that knowledge to develop more complex ideas in their robot designs next year. We were fortunate to have one returning team member this year, Senior Matt Wolner, who helped guide our very young teams. In Robotics, members work together as a larger whole to help each other individually do their best and find their strengths. Somerset can be proud of what the Robotics team has accomplished this year.
