Wrapping up an outstanding high school soccer career last fall, W.F. West senior and ASB president Cameron Sheets was one of three recipients of a $5,000 Smart Choices Scholarship announced by the WIAA Monday morning.
The WIAA, Gesa Credit Union, Dairy Farmers of Washington, and Les Schwab Tires sponsored the scholarship, and awarded it to Sheets, Curlew’s Nick Baker and Sunnyside’s Jansyn Carrizales.
The sponsors also announced 11 winners of an $1,000 scholarship, awarded to McKaila Balcom (Tri-Cities Prep), Amelia Chiu (Newport of Bellevue), Abigail Goodwin (Anacortes), Hannah Jo Hammerstrom (Seton Catholic), Jack Lesko (DeSales), Jay Mentink (Sumner), Isabella Merzoian (Mark Morris), Taylor Meyer (Okanogan), Reigha Niemeyer (Wahkiakum), Jessie Reed (Oakesdale), Jazmine Richey (Grandview), and Iris Rogel (Bonney Lake).
Sheets is a four-year standout in Chehalis, being named the school’s Offensive Player of the Year in each of her seasons and being a first team all-league selection since she was a freshman. Sheets is also a four-year All-Area selection by The Chronicle.
All the while, Sheets has maintained a 4.0 GPA while taking 23 AP/Honors credits, with 525 hours of community service. The senior also serves as the Chair of the Winter Wishes program, where she solicited clothing donations from her peers and community members, helping more than 300 students in need each year.
After high school, Sheets plans to attend Central Washington University where she intends to continue her soccer career while earning a degree in kinesiology and exercise science.
