POST-DISPATCH SCHOLAR ATHLETE AWARD
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch sponsors the Scholar Athlete Award. Each high school in the St. Louis area is invited to select a student who exemplifies the best in athletics and in scholarship. At North High, our coaches nominate student athletes based on academics, athletic honors and citizenship. Each head coach is allowed one vote to determine our winner.
Patrick McCollum had a huge part in the back to back conference championships in swimming the last two years. This year he broke a 30 year old school record for the 100 Freestyle. He was a state qualifier in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 medley relay, and the 400 freestyle relay. He placed 4th overall in the 100 freestyle and 10th overall in the 50 freestyle at the state championships. He also received varsity conference player of the year and 1st team all conference in Water Polo. He has not only been a great contributor athletically for the team but a great leader. He also excels in the classroom and is a true example of a student athlete.
Congratulations, Patrick.
TRI-ATHLETE AWARD
The Tri-Athlete Award is given annually to any student who earns a varsity letter on three different athletic teams in one school year. At a time when athletes are often pressured by outside teams to specialize in a sport, this award represents dedication to North High and the athletic ability it takes to perform at high level in multiple sports. We currently have over 500 students in our athletic program, but only these four individuals have earned a varsity letter in three different sports this year. Thank you for the commitment you have given to our athletic program.
This year's recipients are:
Freshman Andie Hylan (cross country, basketball, soccer, track)
Sophomore Daria Panov (tennis, swim, water polo)
Junior Everett Cui (football, basketball, golf)

Senior Henry Mohrmann (football, basketball, volleyball)
Senior Henry Reeves (soccer, football, basketball, volleyball)
