For the 20th year in a row, Alexander (Zander) Blewett, III, a trial lawyer from the personal injury law firm of Hoyt & Blewett PLLC in Great Falls, Montana, has offered three $1,000 scholarships to the top student/wrestlers around the state of Montana for Classes “AA”, “A”, and “B/C”.
The scholarships are awarded to the top wrestler from each school classification who has displayed the best combined qualities of wrestling and academic achievement. This year’s winners exemplify the precise purpose of the scholarships.
“It is inspiring to see these student-athletes excel both on the mat and in the classroom,” said Zander Blewett.
This year’s recipients are:
Taylor Lay of Capital High School, Class AA; Aramis Rivera of Billings Central Catholic High School, Class A; and Gavin Schmele of Broadwater High School, Class B/C.
Gavin Schmele earned a 3.4 GPA and is a two-time state placer, placing fourth during both his junior and senior seasons. He plans to study mechanical engineering at Montana Tech.
“We love wrestling for the life lessons it teaches, and these students embody what makes the sport great,” Blewett said.
Blewett also offers $500 scholarships to the top student/wrestlers at 4 high schools in North-Central Montana.
