Despite not fielding a team on the field in 2020, the Racine Raiders still continued with their mission of giving back to the community. The Raiders awarded three, $500, non-recurring scholarships to deserving graduating seniors from Racine County’s nine highs schools. The recipients are:
Logan Muffick from Waterford Union High School. Logan ran cross country for the Wolverines and ranked fourth, being named First Team All-Racine County. He’ll attend the University of Wisconsin-Stout and study mechanical engineering.
Victoria Van Dan is a Burlington High School graduate who was a multi-sport athlete in soccer and volleyball. Outside of school, she is active in 4-H. Victoria will study biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Joe Zuleger is another Burlington High School graduate and played baseball for the Demons. Outside of the sport, Joe was an eighth grade English teaching assistant and worked at the Burlington Community Education/Recreation Department as a staff member organizing and teaching Pee-Wee sport classes. He’ll attend Carthage College and pursue a teaching degree.
The Raiders annually offer at least three scholarships. Information is sent out in January to each of the school’s guidance offices and the application deadline is in early-May. Graduating seniors in the class of 2022 that are interested in a scholarship should check with their career guidance counselor and the Raiders website or social media platforms for more information when it becomes available.
