Meet the 2022 Post-Dispatch Scholar Athletes
From the Post-Dispatch Scholar Athletes archive series
In its 56th year, the Ƶ Scholar Athlete program honors one student from every area school, a requirement being that they participate in athletics and excel in the classroom.
The Scholar Athlete Program was the brainchild of Hall of Fame Baseball Writer Bob Broeg in 1965. Broeg wanted to honor high school seniors whose success was not only on the field, court or ice rink — but students who excelled in the classroom as well.
These are young men and women who lettered in at least one varsity sport, are in the top 25 percent of their graduating class and are in good standing at their respective high schools.
