Pequot students state finalists for Wendy's Heisman
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS
Kayla Lenz and Tucker Sheley of Pequot Lakes High School are two of the 10 girls' and boys' finalists for the Minnesota High School Heisman Award, sponsored by Wendy's Restaurants.

Additional nominees from the Brainerd area were Grant Gmeinder, Brainerd; Elizabeth Schulz and Will Kornbaum, Little Falls; Brandon Wheeler and Mollie Hedberg, Pine River-Backus; and Courtney Bernu and Zachary Maas, Wadena-Deer Creek.

Wendy's High School Heisman was created in 1994. Each fall, the program recognizes the nation's most esteemed high school senior boys and girls for excellence in academics, athletics and community/school involvement.

Twelve national finalists, one male and one female from each of the six Heisman regions, will be determined by Nov. 17.

On Dec. 8, all 12 national finalists are invited to New York City for the Wendy's High School Heisman Award Banquet. Two days later the Wendy's High School Heisman Award Show, featuring all 12 national finalists, will be televised on ESPN2.

Boys and girls entering their senior year, who have a minimum 3.0 grade-point average and participate in at least one sport sanctioned by the National Federation of State High Schools, are eligible for the Wendy's High School Heisman.
