CONWAY — Eva Drummond of Center Conway has been selected as this year's recipient of the Damon O’Neal Scholarship Award for "her excellence in skiing competition, school and community leadership and scholastic achievement."
No stranger to balancing active athletics with excellent grades, Eva finished third in her class academically while spending hours of training for alpine racing, field hockey and track. Eva plans to head to St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y., in the fall while enjoying the safety of outdoor “distance” landscaping this summer.
