Cedar Rapids, IA - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Kernels Foundation will present Thomas Eilers as the winner of the 2013 Nick Adenhart Memorial Scholarship before the Kernels game with Peoria on Sunday, June 16th.
Thomas is a 2013 graduate of Cedar Rapids Prairie HS where his school activities, academic accomplishments and baseball accomplishments were quite impressive, making him an excellent choice for the scholarship. Thomas plans on attending the University of Iowa to major in mathematics and education.
