Posted: Tuesday, March 23, 2021 - 8:09 PM


Four Minnesota high school students have been selected as 2021 Triple ‘A’ Award state scholarship recipients.

The 2021 Triple ‘A’ Award state scholarship recipients are Allison Benjamin, East Ridge; Preston Rohloff, Hancock; Kadyn Triebenbach, Osakis; and Lane Versteeg, Owatonna. Each student will receive a $4,000 scholarship.

Established in 1988, the award recognizes high school seniors from across the state for their achievements in the classroom, the arts/activities and athletics. To qualify for the award, students must have a 3.0 or better grade-point average and participate in MSHSL-sponsored athletic and arts/activities program. League member schools are invited to nominate one boy and one girl for the award. Award recipients are selected through a multi-level process involving the League’s administrative regions and a committee of educational, athletic and arts/activities leaders.

“We are proud to recognize and honor these well-rounded student achievers,” says Jody Redman, League Associate Director who oversees the Triple ‘A’ program. “They have demonstrated excellence, hard work, and commitment in academics, the arts/activities and athletics and are leaders in their schools and communities.”

Since its inception 1988, nearly 16,000 students have represented their school in the Triple ‘A’ Program. McDonald’s Twin Cities Co-Op is this year’s sponsor of the Triple ‘A’ Award program, which is now in its 33rd year.
