Rachel Roberts has been a graduate of Guthrie High School for a few weeks now and continues to pile up honors.
Rachel Roberts had a stellar career at GHS both in the classroom and in athletics.
Her latest achievement includes being named to The Oklahoman and Jim Thorpe Association’s Scholar Athlete’s of 2010. Hank Hudson and Jason Ogan were nominated along with Roberts. She was also named as the 73rd Annual Oil Bowl Queen.
According to The Oklahoman, evaluations were based 60 percent on athletics, 40 percent on academics, and excellence was valued over mere participation. For example, a student who played only one sport but played it at a high level received higher consideration that one who played three sports but never started.
Roberts was a State champion in the 1,600 meters as a freshman. Placed in the top five at state five other times in 1,600 and 3,200. First-team Big All-City as a freshman, honorable mention twice. Four-time state qualifier in cross country. First-team All-City as a sophomore, honorable mention twice.
Roberts piled up a grade point average of 4.0 and scored a 27 on her ACT. Her academics resulted in being selected to the National Honor Society. In addition she was the Senior class president, a National Art Honor Society, and earlier this year earned the Masonic Academic Excellence Award.
She will continue her academics and running career at Harding University in Arkansas.
