Martinez siblings earn LVRR scholarships

Palmerton’s Madison Martinez, left, and Jake Martinez both received college scholarships from the Lehigh Valley Road Runners. Madison will be attending Ithaca College and will be majoring in exercise science with a pre-medical concentration. Jake is heading to Lehigh University and will enter there with an undeclared major while studying in the College of Arts & Science. The Scholarship Fund was established to assist local high school graduates with college expenses and is funded by LVRR races and through fund raising efforts of the club. Its purpose is to foster interest in the sport, and to demonstrate commitment to youth running. NANCY SCHOLZ/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
