2007 Scholarship Winners

SWAT is pleased to announce that the winners of the 2007 Judith Fisher Memorial Scholarships are Brittany Swann from Robert E. Lee High School and Brad Leavell from Stuarts Draft High School. Brittany and Brad have been assets to their communities and teams, and have excelled on and off the tennis court. Each will receive a $1,000 scholarship in memory of Judith Fisher, who was a SWAT board member who loved tennis and wanted to encourage youth to play tennis. 

Brittany played varsity tennis for four years and volleyball for three years in high school. She served as Treasurer of the Student Council, President of the Senior Class, and as a member of the National Honor Society. She was captain of the tennis team in 2006, and has been named Student Athlete of the week several times in 2006. She also received the Academic Excellence Award all four years. In the community, she reads to children at the public library, established a Hurricane Katrina drive for children in Louisiana, and created shoeboxes for needy children at Christmas. Following graduation, Brittany will attend the University of Virginia. 

Brad has been active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Student Council, Key Club, and Varsity Club. He also volunteered in the Special Olympics and at the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center. He was named Most Valuable Player of the tennis team the past three years. Following graduation, Brad will attend Shepherd University in Sheperdstown, WV. SWAT congratulates the winners.
