Congratulations to recent SJA graduate Jay Queen, who has committed to bowl at Briarcliff University in Sioux City, Iowa! Briarcliff coach Dylan Ellsworth is excited that Jay decided to make Briarcliff her collegiate home. “I am thrilled to have her,” he said.

The 2026-2027 season will be the first for Briarcliff bowling. Women’s and men’s teams will compete in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference/Great Plains Athletic Conference bowling league, which has become one of the premier bowling conferences in the NAIA.

The best of luck to this Redsticker-turned-Charger!

Congratulations to SJA junior Aariell Martin, who has been selected as a Horatio Alger State Scholar! As a scholar, she will participate in the Horatio Alger Association’s College Success Program over the course of her senior year. She will then receive a $10,000 college scholarship to be used in the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree starting in the fall of 2027.

We are so proud of this outstanding young woman and know her future is bright!
