Michaela Schiele (cross-country/track & field, West Chester East) and Vincent Cresci (Lacrosse & Football, Kennett High School) are the 4th annual recipients of the Richard B. Yoder High School Scholar-Athlete Award. Each received a $1500.00 scholarship for post-secondary education, each are listed on the Chester County Sports Hall of Fame (CCSHOF) website, and each will receive honorary CCSHOF membership.

The Chester County Sports Hall of Fame (CCSHOF) established the Yoder Award to recognize a graduating female and male Chester County scholar-athlete who demonstrated the traits that defined the life and legacy of Richard B. Yoder. Mr. Yoder was a lifelong resident of Chester County and exemplified what it meant to be a scholar-athlete. He excelled in academics and athletics at West Chester High School and West Chester State College (West Chester University); served his country in the United States Marine Corps; became a professor and athletic director at his alma mater; was an active member in his church and numerous civic organizations; and was a two-term mayor in the Borough of West Chester

We must know your intention to attend no later than Tuesday, May 28th; however, for planning purposes, we strongly encourage you to respond sooner rather than later!!!

Please consider making a gift to the Richard B. Yoder High School Scholar-Athlete Award Fund.
