Osseo-Fairchild golfer named Academic All-State honoree
The Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin is pleased to announce that Aly Wedward of Osseo - Fairchild High School is an Academic All-State honoree for the girls golf season that just concluded. Students are nominated by GCAW member coaches if they meet the following criteria: 1) A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25, 2) participation in at least 75% of their team’s varsity matches, and 3) are at least a sophomore in high school. Aly is a student-athlete who serves as a great example to others, proving that academic and athletic successes are not mutually exclusive.
The coaches association is proud to announce a record 305 girls from 83 high schools have been honored this year for maintaining high academic standards in the classroom while competing in varsity golf. In fact, the average cumulative GPA of this year’s honorees is an exceptional 3.780.
The GCAW was formed by high school golf coaches in 1986 to help build Wisconsin’s reputation for developing quality junior players by promoting golf in our schools and communities. Besides honoring both boys and girls who succeed as student athletes, the association also selects an annual All-State team for boys and girls based on their playing ability. On March 1, 2012 a newly established award honoring the high school team with the highest cumulative GPA was also instituted.
