Running is a big part of the team philosophy at the Lehmbecker Law Firm, especially because the firm’s founder, Larry Lehmbecker, is a three-time Ironman Triathlon finisher. For Lehmbecker, the lesson involved with running and fitness is simple and involves those who step forward and continue to push themselves being successful in a race and life itself.
The life lessons and the physical/mental benefits are just part of the reason why the Lehmbecker Law Firm has been encouraging high school runners through its Sprinting Towards Success Scholarship, which is a $1,000 college scholarship that is awarded to a graduating high school senior who has a bonafide passion for running.
This year’s $1,000 First Place winner is Ben Wu, from Interlake High School!
The Honorable Mention winners who received a $350 scholarship include:
Congratulations to all of the 2017 winners! We hope the best for you as you continue your personal race into college where your education and running regimens will go hand-in-hand towards success both in and out of the classroom.
