Applications were received from 140 high school students, and a select group was interviewed by an advisory board chosen by Senator Young. Out of 75 offered interviews, 47 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\nCooper Burton\n\nWheeler High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nAnna Daughtry\n\nWabash High School\n\nBraedon Forward\n\nCulver Academies\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nSara Hoeppner\n\nLeo Jr/Sr High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Military Academy and the United States Naval Academy\n\nTucker Hutchinson\n\nTriton Central High School\n\nEvan Maxwell\n\nBrownsburg High School\n\nRick Orr\n\nWarsaw Community High School\n\nMadalyn Richardson\n\nWashington Township High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nDirk Rumfelt\n\nFairfield Jr/Sr High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nWarner Sims\n\nPendleton Heights High School\n\nQuinn Smith\n\nConcordia Lutheran High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nVance Toth\n\nKnightstown Community High School\n\nRyan Verkamp\n\nJasper High School\n\nAndrei Wallstrom\n\nCanterbury High School\n\nSean Windell\n\nHeritage Hills High School\n\nUnited States Military Academy\n\nJohn Benson\n\nIndianapolis (studying abroad)\n\nDavid Callahan\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison High School\n\nLeo Dillinger\n\nTwin Lakes High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nCameron Echard\n\nWestfield High School\n\nAlexander Fan\n\nCenter Grove High School\n\nLuke Herring\n\nSouthwood Jr/Sr High School\n\nGregory Hutcheson\n\nBrownstown Central High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nBradley Kehler\n\nSignature School\n\nAnna Mauch\n\nSt. Theodore Guerin High School\n\nKeirsten Nies\n\nPioneer Jr/Sr High School\n\nTait Owens\n\nDecatur Central High School\n\nMax Phenicie\n\nZionsville Community High School\n\nGavin Poteet\n\nRoncalli High School\n\n*Also nominated to the United States Naval Academy\n\nJohn Roberts\n\nCulver Academies\n\nUnited States Merchant Marine Academy\n\nJustyn Anciso\n\nRoncalli High School\n\nBen Christner\n\nGreenwood Community High School\n\nConnor Day\n\nEvansville Christian School\n\nSamara Ducasse\n\nWarren Central High School\n\nBrayden Mercier\n\nChesterton High School\n\nJacob Moss\n\nRossville High School\n\nGarrett Quick\n\nReitz Memorial High School\n\nRobert Shaw\n\nBrebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School\n\nParker St. John\n\nRoncalli High School\n\nUnited States Naval Academy\n\nSebastian Harbeson\n\nEastern High School\n\nJessica Kang\n\nCulver Academies\n\nKate Laherty\n\nCulver Academies\n\nThomas Mariani\n\nCathedral High School\n\nJackson Nevil\n\nTipton High School\n\nSantino Pape\n\nCrown Point High School\n\nAdam Peterson\n\nHomeschooled\n\nNathaniel Temeles\n\nPenn High School", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:07:19Z"]], "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-6/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9114359747618437, "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"}
