KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – This year’s recipients of the J. Fletcher and Anne Elliott Educational Scholarship awarded last week at Kelseyville High School are seniors Noah Lyndall and Ricardo Covarrubias.

This year’s award is $10,000 to each recipient.

Lyndall and Covarrubias both have outstanding academic and athletic high school careers.

Both ranked very high in their class. And both had exemplary athletic success through their high school years with Lyndall playing four years of baseball and Covarrubias four years of soccer.

Lyndall is going to Sonoma State to major in biological sciences while Covarrubias is going to UC Davis, majoring in civil engineering.

“This scholarship will really help reduce stress on my family, and allow me to participate in daily baseball practice. It’s a huge help,” Lyndall said.

“This will allow me to focus on schoolwork where I don’t have to have a full-time job, and it will really help me adapt to the first year of college life,” said Covarrubias.

This scholarship foundation was originally established by the late Anne Elliott with the help of Rian Sommerfield at Nestegg Investment Consulting and is expected to fund future scholarships for decades to come in memory of her husband J. Fletcher.
