On Saturday, March 23, senior Ashwin Fujii was officially recognized as an MHSAA Scholar-Athlete. A standout in cross country, swimming and track, Fujii was honored along with 31 other elite student-athletes in the state at a ceremony held during half-time of the Class C boys’ championship game at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

“I am honored to be considered one of the top scholar-athletes in the state,” says Fujii (pictured at right in the center). “I was proud to be among some exceptional student-athletes in a great environment at the ceremony Saturday evening. This award is truly a reflection of how well Greenhills athletics fosters success both on the field and in the classroom.”
