Fort Wayne Snider soccer standout Kerry Inglis is one of 25 recipients of the 8th annual â??Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year,â? or SAMMY, award. The 2005 award was announced in the July 18 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
The recently graduated Inglis was an Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association (ICGSA) first team All-State selection in 2004. The midfielder finished 12th in the state with 30 goals and tied for eight in assists with 17 last year for state finals runner-up Snider, where she also played basketball and tennis.
Inglis earned the SAMMY honor by virtue of an A+ grade point average, serving as Student Athletic Council president, and being a member of the National Honor Society. She also volunteered for Vacation Bible School and soccer camp.
SAMMY awards recognize outstanding Grade 12 scholar athletes from high schools throughout the contiguous United States. Judging is based on academic performance, athletic excellence, leadership, and community service.
As a SAMMY winner, Inglis earns a $7,500 college scholarship, an invitation to an awards weekend at Disneyâ??s Wide World of Sports Complex, and her picture in ESPN The Magazine and USA Today â??? complete with milk mustache.
Congratulations, Kerry, from HoosierAuthority.com for being a great role model for future Indiana multi-sport players and milk drinkers alike.
