Rockridge’s Kendall Nominated For U.S. Naval Academy

Western Illinois Congresswoman Cheri Bustos has nominated local high school students for the United States Service Academies, including Rockridge senior Lea Kendall for the United State Naval Academy. Each year, Bustos has the honor of nominating up to ten qualified young people from Illinois’ 17th Congressional District for attendance at four service academies: the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY; the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD; the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY.  WRMJ News/Sports Director Jim Taylor spoke with Kendall last week. She has also been named Milan Area Rotary Club Student of the Month for Rockridge.
