Monterey, CA Running Club Give Scholarships to Local High School Seniors
$12,500 distributed to 10 scholar distance runners from throughout Monterey County
The Monterey Bay Wednesday Night Laundry Runners (WNLR) running club provided $12,500 in college scholarship funding to ten selected Monterey County High School senior runners. The scholarship is based on the student competing in both cross country and distance track events (1 mile/2mile), running times and accomplishments, scholastic achievement, leadership, extracurricular activities, family monetary need, and an interview process. Scholarships ranged from $500 to $2,000.
Monterey Bay’s running club scholarship program started in 2001 and is among the largest private running club scholarship programs in the country. Funds are donated by club members and there is a large annual donation from the Big Sur International Marathon as well.
Diego Estrada, from Alisal High School in Salinas, and a WNLR scholarship winner in 2008, recently was named to the Mexican Olympic Team in the 10,000 meter run.
