Rock Island senior distance runner Kirsten Tauke earned the Don Wright Scholarship during the team banquet on Wednesday. The scholarship was named and created in honor of Don Wright, a 1968 Rock Island graduate who served in the Vietnam War before succumbing to cancer from Agent Orange exposure. The $5,000 scholarship is given to a senior track athlete.
