They chose different sports paths, but were remarkably similar in many other ways.
Coupeville High School seniors Lindsey Roberts and Emma Smith are standout athletes, stellar students, fond of posing for photos, and graceful, strong young women.
Now, they’re each $300 richer, thanks to receiving scholarship money from JohnsPhotos.net.
John Fisken hit the stage Tuesday during the CHS awards night to hand out the moola.
His awards, which are largely funded by photo sales, honor student/athletes at each of the schools he and his cameras haunt – CHS and Oak Harbor High School.
To be eligible, athletes had to play two sports during each of their four years of school, while maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
The winners, who wrote essays and were interviewed by Fisken, also couldn’t receive any athletic scholarship money from a college.
Smith competed in volleyball and track and field during her prep career, finishing as a team captain and First-Team All-Conference selection while unleashing knee-buckling spikes.
She helped lead Coupeville volleyball back to state during her junior season, breaking a 13-year drought, and grew into one of the most fearsome hitters to ever wear a Wolf uniform.
During her final track campaign, Smith won league, district, and bi-district titles in the shot put, and advanced to state in both the shot put and discus.
She plans to attend Montana State University in the fall and study marine biology and environmental science.
Roberts is a rare 12-time letter winner, with impressive runs in soccer, basketball, and track.
On the pitch, she smacked in 17 goals, third-best in program history, while playing primarily on the defensive side of the ball.
Lou also finished as the #18 scorer in Wolf girls basketball history, and captured eight state track meet medals, most-ever by a female CHS athlete.
She holds school records in the 100 hurdles, 4 x 100, and 4 x 200.
Roberts will attend Washington State University in the fall, majoring in design/architecture, with an emphasis on interior design and layout.
