2024 WIAA Scholar Athlete Award (Female Recipient) Alana Durtschi, Albany High School - 4.0 GPA Durtschi is first in her class academically and has earned 11 varsity letters in three sports, including basketball, softball and volleyball. She helped her Comets basketball team win a State championship her senior year, and she received the all-conference honors as the league's MVP the past two seasons. On the softball field, she helped the softball team finish State runner-up in 2021 and earned team MVP honors her sophomore and junior seasons in addition to receiving all-conference recognition as a junior. Durtschi shares, “Juggling academic studies with a busy athletic schedule is tough, but it taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance. I’ve learned that sports can be a temporary thing, so I make sure to apply the same level of determination to academics. I’ve achieved high marks in difficult classes and multiple college courses that earned me the honor of valedictorian.” Durtschi intends to study education at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Two 4K students are another 100 books closer to reaching their goal. They have only 200 more to read before hitting the 1,000 mark. Congratulations!

In celebration of Earth Day, students spent the afternoon cleaning up around town! Thank you to the Village of Albany for coming around to collect the garbage bags.
