Last week, WIBW announced its latest Scholar Athlete of the Week, and it was Onaga's own Tatum Lara!
Tatum is a three-sport athlete for Onaga. He's been having a tremendous senior year in athletics, having been named 2nd Team All-League as a defensive lineman in football, he followed that up with a second straight state wrestling tournament just this past weekend. He will now begin golf this week.
Tatum is also involved in many other activities and has taken on several leadership roles in them as well. He’s a part of KAYS as vice president, FFA as vice president, O’Club as the Treasurer, STUCO as Senior Class representative, and is also a member of the Shiny Star 4H club as president.
He plans on attending K-State where he’ll study Wildlife and Outdoor Enterprise Management, and has maintained a 3.8 GPA while excelling in all of those other activities. His being named the WIBW Scholar Athlete of the Week also puts him in the running for a $2,500 scholarship.
