Post-Event Update
Emma Travis and Adrien Howard were each awarded $2,500 scholarships on Thursday at the 29th Annual Jack and Marge Colescott Athletic Scholarship Golf Scramble.
The tournament was held at Arbor Trace Golf Course and featured a lunch banquet where the two athletic scholarships were presented. Teams took to the links before and after lunch. Scholarships are given to a female and male student-athlete at Indiana Wesleyan who also attended a Grant County high school.
The event has raised over $1 million in athletic scholarships over the 29-year history of the tournament that has become a staple of Indiana Wesleyan athletics.
“The Colescott Tournament has just become a big part of what we are as an athletic department,” stated Indiana Wesleyan Director of Athletics Mark DeMichael. “It represents Jack and Marge Colescott who represents everything others want to be when it comes to class, humility, and putting others first. We couldn’t ask for better names to be on this event and this athletic scholarship.”
Travis is currently a sophomore on the women’s swimming team ad is studying Global Ministries and Community Development. She was a member of the Oak Hill swim team prior to Indiana Wesleyan. In the first season of competition for the IWU swim team, Travis led the Wildcats with NAIA All-American performances at the NAIA National Championship in the 50-Free and 400-Free Relay. She had qualified for the nationals in eight events.
“Emma is quick to celebrate the accomplishments of others, marveling regularly at the strides taken, not only by her own teammates, but also by her competitors,” said IWU head coach Laurissa Dalrymple. “She is known for her encouraging gestures, inquiries as to how her teammates are doing both in and out of the pool, and her willingness to pray for the needs of those around her. She is a faith-filled encourager whose kindness is contagious. It is an honor to coach Emma.”
Howard is a junior Business Administration major that runs for the Indiana Wesleyan cross country and track and field teams and is a graduate from Marion High School. He helped the cross country team to a 14th place finish at the 2017 NAIA National Championship and won the Crossroads League championship as part of the 4x800-Meter Relay.
“Adrien is determined to learn how to better honor God with his running this season,” said IWU cross country coach John Foss. “He has transitioned from a transfer student to one of our quality team leaders in 2018. His goals are to run amongst the best runners in the NAIA while making sure to find his motivation from being a good steward of his God-given gifts. Adrien is incredibly coachable and he makes our team better in both performance and unity.”
