On September 12th, the Dodgeball Club at UW-Platteville hosted the annual Tim Ebert Memorial tournament. Tim was a player on the UWP team that made a huge impact and with the scholarship in his name he will continue to make an impact. This event was able to raise over $800 and with that amount raised, we will be offering two scholarships. One will go to a current player on the Platteville Dodgeball Club and another to an individual around the league.
The selection committee received applications from players and came up with the following winners to receive this scholarship. The application asked individuals to explain their community involvement at home, their team, and the league as whole. The committee was looking for leadership skills, a willingness to help others, and further involvement in making the league a better place for current and future players. Let’s take a look at this year’s winners below!
Our first winner has been a part of the University of Wisconsin Platteville Dodgeball Club for three years and is in his junior year. In his third year with the club, he has been using his throw to help his teammates improve their catching abilities. Ian works hard to always keep his teammates involved and wanting to play. He makes his biggest impact felt off the court at team bonding events. We congratulate Ian Westrick as one of the winners of the scholarship!
The second winner has also been a part of her club for four years and is in her senior year. Cleo in her fourth year on the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire Dodgeball Club is her team’s president. Cleo has been working hard this season to rebuild the club and officially build a women’s team. She is very welcoming to teammates and encourages them to play in tournaments. We congratulate Cleo Moen as one of the winners of the scholarship!
We appreciate all the applications that we received and are excited to once again to be able to continue to provide this scholarship to continue to help individuals achieve their educational goals!
