It is great to see so many young Kansans seeking to serve in our nation’s military, and I wish all of our applicants the best.” Senator Roberts sent a video to all the students who received nominations, which can be viewed here. In making the nominations, Senator Roberts followed the recommendations of his Academy Screening Board. The nonpartisan board is comprised of eight volunteers from across Kansas and is overseen by Gilda Lintz, Senator Roberts’ District Director and Military Academy Coordinator in Topeka. As part of the decision-making process, board members conduct personal interviews with the applicants, as well as review their written applications, G.P.A. and standardized test scores. Once nominated by Senator Roberts, the applicants then must meet the individual admission requirements of each academy. The academies will make the final decision on who will receive an appointment of admission. Due to the limited number of openings at each academy, not every nominee will receive an appointment. The academies this spring will announce appointments for the class entering in July 2018. Senator Roberts’ nominees are as follows: United States Air Force Academy – Colorado Springs, CO Charles Bermel, Lawrence Carson Davis, Gardner Madison Beck, Olathe Jillian Hayne, Olathe Camden McFarland, Girard Cole Resnik, Topeka Cierra Robinson, Leavenworth Sara Rohleder, Hays Knox Tweed, Winchester Abigail Waugh, Leavenworth United States Naval Academy – Annapolis, MD Katherine Baldessari, Wichita Cole Dudley, Manhattan Thomas Finn, Overland Park Ryan Fitzgerald, Leawood Caroline Gatschet, Topeka Jerad Habben, Shawnee Clair Ivey, Shawnee Alexander Lim, Overland Park David McCune, Valley Center Camden McFarland, Girard Caden Merrick, Overland Park Ernest Pereira, Leawood Cole Resnik, Topeka Jacob Ruder, Wichita Jack Steiner, Andover Leah Wiegers, Lansing Dawson Williams, Dodge City Thomas Wrinn, Wichita United States Military Academy at West Point – West Point, NY Carter Black, Wichita Zachary Bolen, Ft Leavenworth Gabriel Casmus, Lansing Collin Cushing, Independence Benjamin Hanson, Olathe Carson Krakar, Olathe Hayley Murguia, Olathe Dennis Rice, Prairie Village James Sayles, Meriden Luke Windish, Wichita United States Merchant Marine Academy – Kings Point, NY Carson Lucas, Leavenworth Caden Merrick, Overland Park Senator Roberts will begin accepting applications in March for nominations to academy classes entering in July 2019.
