Cedar Rapids Kernels News Release
Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Kernels Foundation are pleased to announce Jared Eivins and Kelsey Wenger as the winners of the 2016 Nick Adenhart Memorial Scholarships. They will be recognized in an on-field ceremony before the Kernels game with Beloit on Sunday, June 26th.
Jared Eivins is a member of the Class of 2016 at Cedar Rapids Jefferson High School and plans on attending Kirkwood Community College. Kelsey Wnger is a member of the Class of 2016 at Cedar Rapids Prairie High School and plans on attending Coe College.
Nick Adenhart was a bright young pitcher who played for the Cedar Rapids Kernels in 2006, and was a rising star in the Los Angeles Angels organization. Only hours after Nick's 2009 season debut on the mound for the Angels, a drunk driver tragically killed him on April 9, 2009 at age 22.
Nick's family continues to honor him with the awarding of two $1,000 scholarships in his memory. The Kernels Foundation is privileged to administer the scholarships on behalf of Nick's family.
The Kernels begin the second half of the 2016 MWL season tonight with a four game series against the Beloit Snappers, the MWL Affiliate of the Oakland Athletics, at 6:35 PM with the gates opening at 5:30 PM.
