Scholarship bound

The Monterey Bay Wednesday Night Laundry Runners have awarded 11 high school senior distance runners with scholarships to continue their education and running careers.

 Also honored were Monterey's Leslie Oseguera, Marina's Olivia Jimenez, Soledad's Yvette Tavarez, North Salinas' Serena Olivares and Santa Catalina's Jessica Gutshall.
 For the boys, it was Alvarez's Nicholas Merllana, North County's Owen Ibarra, North Salinas' Raul Barraza, Pacific Grove's Douglas Dow and York School's Ryan Ixtlahuac.
