SALT LAKE CITY - Westminster junior libero Katie McLintock was awarded with a $2,000 scholarship from the American Red Cross and State Farm Insurance during halftime of the Westminster men's basketball game last week. She earned the award after being selected to participate in the 2009 Red Cross/NAIA Collegiate Leadership Program as one of thirteen student-athletes from around the country.

McLintock spent two weeks of energetic training at Red Cross National Headquarters located in Washington, D.C. from June 8 to June 19, 2009. The 2009 class then participated in a rare and unique opportunity to acquire first-hand coaching, mentoring and professional leadership training presented by senior leadership at the Red Cross, one of the nation's largest non-profit organizations. In addition, Jim Carr, NAIA President and CEO, and Rob Haworth, NAIA Vice President for Champions of Character, met with the students during the two week leadership academy.
