We would like to congratulate Sebastian Madrigal for being awarded the Play for Michael sports scholarship on June 8, 2022. Sebastian was nominated by Carrie Maple and after meeting him we could not agree more on why she did. Sebastian is a proud recent Galt high graduate, In 2021 he was a team captain for Football and track. He received an all league badge and most valuable player award at the fall sports banquet of Galt High School. Sebastian helps out his school and community by staying before and after school to help set up for FFA monthly meetings. He plans on going to college to study to become a Pharmacists. While doing this he plans to either play football or run track for the rest of his college career. During the weekends Sebastian is constantly voluntarily setting up and staying after hours for either 7v7 tournaments or Under the Radar Camps. He keeps score or is running drills and giving back to younger athletes. Sebastian has a huge passion for playing football and giving back to others. Congratulations Sebastian!

This experience has made me reach for my goals and try my hardest to stay ahead of my grades and my extracurricular activities for a better future."
