Skyline High scholar-athlete award recipient a first for Oakland

Skyline High School senior Eleanor Wikstrom recently was named one of the California Interscholastic Federation’s two Scholar-Athletes of the Year, the first-ever student from Oakland to receive the honor.

The CIF named Wikstrom as one of the honorees May 11 out of some 830,000 student-athletes across the state. While setting records as the captain of Skyline High’s track and field and cross-country teams, Wilkstrom has maintained a 4.0 GPA and will attend Harvard University later this year.
