Applications were received from 150 high school students, and a select group was interviewed by an advisory board chosen by Senator Young. Out of 77 offered interviews, 51 exemplary young men and women from across Indiana received a nomination from Senator Young.\n\nA nomination does not guarantee admission to a service academy, but is required in order to be considered. Nominees are chosen based on personal merit. Criteria considered include evidence of character, leadership, academic excellence, physical aptitude, and extracurricular activities.\n\n\u201cI had the privilege of recommending a talented group of Hoosiers for admission to the United States service academies this year,\u201d said Senator Young. \u201cThese young men and women are highly qualified to serve our country, and I\u2019m very proud of their hard work. I wish them the best of luck in their application process.\u201d\n\nSenator Young\u2019s service academy nominees are listed below:\n\nUnited States Air Force Academy\n\nAvery Beck\n\nBloomington High School South\n\nDavid Callahan\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Military Academy\n\nDaniel David\n\nNew Palestine High School\n\nAndrew Estes\n\nSignature School\n\nCael Hickok\n\nBloomington High School North\n\nCharles LaRocca\n\nCenter Grove High School\n\nJoshua Lord\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison High School\n\nAntonio Negron-Carrero\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison High School\n\nNicholas Passarelli\n\nBrebeuf Jesuit Prepatory School\n\nAlexander Pinckney\n\nChristian Academy of Indiana\n\nGavin Poteet\n\nRoncalli High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy and the United States Naval Academy\n\nBrock Redman\n\nChesterton High School\n\nMegan Risewick\n\nEvansville Day School\n\nRyan Verkamp\n\nJasper High School\n\nCharles Weber\n\nSaint Joseph High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nConner Winchester\n\nCowan High School\n\nAndrew Wolfe\n\nCarmel High School / Ivy Tech Community College\n\nUnited States Military Academy\n\nElias Backus\n\nBrebeuf Jesuit Prepatory School\n\nElijah Cox\n\nForest Park Jr./Sr. High School\n\nMeghan Feick\n\nCulver Academies\n\nJonathan Jimenez\n\nCulver Academies\n\nNathan Keller\n\nTecumseh Jr./Sr. High School\n\nEamon Seeley\n\nCulver Academies\n\nThomas Sidel\n\nHomestead High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nNicholson Trout\n\nPendleton Heights High School\n\nTeresa Wojtalik\n\nCathedral High School\n\nUnited States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nAudrey Burrell\n\nSpeedway High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nLuke Kruer\n\nOur Lady of Providence High School\n\nEmma Martin\n\nWest Harrison, IN/Home Schooled\n\nLillia Miller\n\nLawrenceburg High School\n\nLandon Morales\n\nAvon High School\n\nJoseph Perkins\n\nLeo Jr./Sr. High School\n\nJohn Posner\n\nButler University\n\nChristian Wiegmann\n\nCarmel High School\n\nUnited States Naval Academy\n\nMary Bellia\n\nSouth Bend Saint Joseph High School\n\nThomas Frazier\n\nZionsville Community High School\n\nHenry Gillin\n\nPenn High School\n\nEmma Gu\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison High School\n\nSean Halvorsen\n\nNoblesville High School\n\nChristine Hu\n\nCarmel High School\n\nLuke Kaufhold\n\nSouth Bend Saint Joseph High School\n\nFisher Mantooth\n\nColumbus North High School\n\nLuke Mawbey\n\nWestern High School\n\nJackson Nevil\n\nTipton High School\n\nBenjamin Peters\n\nLeo Jr./Sr. High School\n\nRose Peterson\n\nCulver Academies\n\nJohn Sandford\n\nNaval Academy Prep School\n\nArianna Stieber\n\nWestern Boone Jr./Sr. High School\n\nElliot Swan\n\nCrown Point High School\n\nGabriella Villanueva\n\nNorthrop High School\n\nCaoilinn Welch\n\nGreenville, Ind./Assumption High School", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:56:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-young-announces-nominees-for-united-states-service-academies-5/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8561320137232542, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
