FAIR HAVEN — Orwell resident Asa Young, a senior at Fair Haven Union High School, has been selected as one of the recipients of the Vermont State Athletic Director’s Association Student-Athlete Leadership Scholarship.

Young’s application and essay stood out amongst a large pool of candidates from throughout Vermont, and he was selected as one of 10 statewide winners. He is now eligible to be selected to represent Vermont in the New England scholarship selection process, which continues into the spring of 2025.

Young plays on the varsity boys’ soccer team, of which he was captain this fall, and earned 4th place in the Division II Championship track and field meet this past spring when competing for the Slaters.

“On behalf of Slater Nation, congratulations to Asa and his family, and thank you for being a tremendous ambassador for our community and high school athletics,” said Slate Valley administrator Lisa Cacciatore.
