Two Summit Students Earn Scholar-Athlete Awards

Two local athletes were honored at the Union County Scholar-Athlete Dinner.

The Union County Scholar-Athlete Dinner took place earlier this week at The Westwood in Garwood. One male and one female scholar-athlete from each of 25 high schools in Union County were recognized with the Union County Scholar-Athlete honor. In addition to Nick Abbott, Summit senior three-sport athlete Stuart Humphrey was recognized among the female scholar-athletes.

Each of the scholar-athletes was given a nice plaque, and engraved watch and a $1,000 college scholarship. At the end of the program, they also named the winners of the Frank J. Cicarell Memorial Scholarships and Nick Abbott was also chosen for this additional scholarship.

Abbott has committed to wrestle at Bucknell University in the fall, where he was chosen for their 5-Year Joint Degree Program in Engineering and Management.
