Congressman Tom Petri reports that he has nominated Montello High School senior Ty James Daniels of Montello for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy.
Petri further reports that he has nominated Oxford resident and Pioneer Westfield High School senior August James Anderson for appointment to the Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO, and to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY.
"It isn't easy to meet the high standards expected of academy nominees, but Mr. Anderson and Mr. Daniels have made the grade, and I am confident that they will do us proud," said Petri.
Petri's nominees are chosen in an annual non-partisan competition, based on their high school records as judged by a commission of 14 residents of the 6th Congressional District. Final selections are made by the academies. However, Petri said, "Nomination is a major step toward being offered an appointment."
