Here’s Why Top Swimmer Ava Was Shouted Out As A Wall Star Student

WALL, NJ —Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission comes from Laura Ziemer who nominated Ava, Grade 11, of Wall.

Ava is a champion swimmer and a standout at Marine Academy of Science and Technology at Sandy Hook where she is in the Jr. ROTC.

How do you know the star local student?

Relative

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

Ava deserves to be recognized because not only is she an outstanding student attending the highly challenging Marine Academy of Science and Technology where she is also a part of the Jr. ROTC, but she is the top female swimmer for her local Wall Township High School swim team.

She is also one of the top swimmers for her competitive club swim team Monmouth Barracudas.

Ava chooses to spend her Friday nights helping to coach the young swimmers on her club team.

Ava is applying for and will hopefully be chosen to attend two leadership training courses this summer. One in Rhode Island and one at West Point.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

Ava works hard for what she wants.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Ava, Grade 11!
