By Kerri Levi
The Norwalk Girls Track Team competed in two
meets during the week of April 1st. The Warriors

improvements with the highlight of the evening going
to the 4x800 team of Torin Lackmann, Annie Balk,
Emily Kehoe, and Annika Wallace. The track team
competed in the Nevada Co-Ed meet and placed third
overall as a team. Even though conditions were cold
and blustery, the team persevered with champions
crowned in the the 800m and the 4x800. Winning
the 800m was freshman Kennedy Wendl in 2:36.86
and winning the 4x800 was the team of Torin
Lackmann, Emma Chase, Emily Kehoe, and Annika

Robert D. Blue Scholarship
State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald reminds
students the deadline to apply for a Robert D. Blue
Scholarship is drawing near. Applications must be
submitted online at RDBlue.org by May 10th in order
to be eligible for this year's award.
"Over the years we've helped hundreds of Iowa
students meet their college costs with this
scholarship," Fitzgerald stated. "Awards are based
on financial need, academic achievements, written
recommendations, and an original essay." In 2018,
nine Iowa students received a $500 Robert D. Blue
Scholarship.
The Robert D. Blue Scholarship is awarded by the
Iowa Centennial Memorial Foundation to honor Iowa
students attending college in Iowa. The Foundation
was created in 1949 to commemorate the one
hundredth anniversary of Iowa's acceptance into the
union. Governor Blue wished to encourage the youth
of the state to continue their education at one of
Iowa's fine institutions of higher learning.
Applications for the scholarship are only accepted
online at RDBlue.org, and the winners will be
announced during the summer. Those who would like
more information on the Robert D. Blue Scholarship
should visit RDBlue.org.
