Selected as National Merit Scholarship Winners

Since its start last month, the club has seen a growing number of runners of all abilities take on the three-mile loop, which starts at Catch Surf, winds down toward Main Beach and then back to the surf shop. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” said Zack, who manages Catch Surf. “You can walk, run, cut the route short or RUN CLUB, PAGE 13

By LB Indy Staff The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced this year’s winners of the $2,500 scholarship awarded to 2,500 students nationwide, including Laguna Beach High School students Keira Hundhausen and Christopher Herkins. The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual academic competition for high school students, offering recognition and college scholarships. It began in 1955 and is conducted by NMSC, a nonprofit organization that operates without government assistance. High school students in the United States enter the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This test serves as an initial screening for over 1.3 million entrants annually. “I am always impressed by the number of National Merit semi-finalists and finalists LBHS has year in and year out,” LBHS Principal Jason Allemann said. “These students represent a remarkable level of academic achievement and consistent hard work, and they will certainly make a significant impact at any college or university fortunate enough to LBHS, PAGE 13
