This week our 1590 WAKR Female Student Athlete of the Week is Samantha Huth, a senior golfer from Archbishop Hoban High School.

She says that her father got her interested in the game of golf at an early age and she carries that appreciation for the game to this day.

“My dad was a golfer and he's been around it his whole life, and when I was trying to figure out what sports work best for me, I started taking lessons at 9 and have been at it ever since," she said.

Huth says the family atmosphere at Hoban extends beyond the golf course for her.

"Since my freshman year at Hoban, it's honestly been amazing," she said. "The best part about it is just the fact that you can say hi to anyone here and be automatic friends." 

In 2019, she was named the captain of the girls golf team, lettered for the fourth year in a row, and was a second place medalist at the NCL Championship earning first team honors.

Her coach Ben Wehmann said that she is a great example for the girls on the golf team and an exemplary student athlete.

In my eight years coaching, Sam stands out among a select few as one of the most motivated individuals I have ever had," he said. "The other girls looked up to her and respected her not only as an excellent golfer but as a leader and a friend and her dedication to the sport was obvious as she was often found outside of team practice working on her game with her dad and teammates."

Away from the course, Huth is a student ambassador, a member of the National Honor Society, and a Peer Mentor.

In the community, she volunteers at Common Threads and also at Summit County Animal Control.

Upon graduation in the spring, she plans on attending Clarion University to study nursing.

 Our next Male Student Athlete is Dylan Farah, a senior soccer player from Archbishop Hoban.

This week our 1590 WAKR Female Student Athlete of the Week is Rowan Lilly, a senior bowler from Our Lady of the Elms High School.

Rowan says bowling was one of the things that her friends enjoyed and that was something that drew her attention during her sophomore year.

“I’ve really grown to appreciate the sport and I really enjoy just going all the time,” she said.

Away from the bowling alley, she is a scholar athlete at the Elms, and also is involved in her school as a student body Vice President and an officer in the Social Action Club.

She says that the Elms provides a great atmosphere for her to grow in various facets of her life.

“The opportunities that I get at the Elms are unlike any other place that I can get them.”

Her bowling coach Pat Kelley said that Rowan is a great example of what a student athlete is in all aspects.

“Rowan is a very diligent student who works hard to be as precise as she can in everything she does; her physics studies with me, her bowling, and her dancing,” she explains.

“If she is disappointed in the result, she will quietly work at correcting what went wrong.”

In addition to being a student athlete, Rowan is also an accomplished dancer as well.

“Rowan's experience in dance has a positive influence in her bowling,” said head coach Pat Kelley.

“The position awareness she has from her dancing has helped her to be consistent in her approach and release on the lanes so I can count on her for very similar scores during a match.”

Upon graduation in the spring of 2020, she plans on attending Kent State University and majoring in Business Management.

 Our next Female Student Athlete is Bella Vesco, a senior basketball player from Our Lady of the Elms.

Basketball has been a part of her life from an early age and to this day, she truly enjoys getting better and working on her game.

“I always played basketball since the third grade,” my dad coached me and encouraged me to play,” she said.

Bella is a three sport athlete competing in soccer and track and field to go along with basketball during the winter months. Earlier this year, she was First Team All-District in soccer for 2019.

She says that being a student at the Elms has been a positive experience and one that she will always remember.

“Everyone is super supportive and it’s nice,” she explains.

Head basketball coach John Reed had this to say about his senior leader.

Upon graduation in the spring of 2020, she plans on attending either Ohio State University or Loyola of Chicago to study pre-med.

We wish Rowan and Bella the best in all of their future endeavors.
