Placer's Addie Arsenith wins A. Dale Lacky Scholarship award

Every year, the Sac-Joaquin Section honors the top boys and girls scholar-athletes with the A. Dale Lacky Scholarship. Named after the former section and California Interscholastic Federation president, the award gives out $30,000 total. Addie Arsenith was a recipient of the scholarship this year, making her Placer High School's first student-athlete to win the award since Delaney Keddie in 2019. "Addie is just calm, cool and collected. She's a great student, great athlete and great teammate," Placer girls basketball coach Tony Camillucci said. "She's polite, kind and caring. She is exactly what the Lacky award is all about. She is the perfect choice." "She has put in a lot of work in order to achieve such an honor and we are all very proud of her for earning this very prestigious award," said Placer athletic director Mark Lee. "This is quite an honor." Arsenith was one of the top 10 cross country runners in the section and helped lead the Hillmen to a Foothill Valley League title. She was a participant in the cross country state championships in Fresno as well. On the hardwood, Arsenith ran the point as one of the senior leaders for the Lady Hillmen, helping lead Placer to a CIF NorCal Regional quarterfinal appearance. In track and field, she's one of the top distance runners for the Hillmen this season.
