We are pleased to announce and present our annual Genoa-Kingston High School 2018 Sports and Health Scholarship to Zachary Uecker!

Zachary Uecker, a recently graduated senior at Genoa-Kingston High School, was chosen for his outstanding achievements in athletics, academics, and choice to pursue a career in the healthcare/sports medicine field. Zachary is a life-long soccer player and a volunteer coach for both soccer and baseball. This fall, Zachary will be attending Kishwaukee Community College working towards his Associates degree and playing soccer there.
