Four Prairie Village-area students were among the 27 Rep. Kevin Yoder nominated to United States service academies from his Kansas 3rd District.
10 nominees to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Bishop Miege senior Skyler Farr received a Naval Academy nomination as well.
Reese Wagner, a Prairie Village resident who is homeschooled, got one of Yoder’s eight nominations to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
“The caliber of these nominees is very impressive; our district will be very well represented,” Yoder said in a statement. “These young men and women are our future and I wish them well as they seek an appointment to an academy.”
Yoder appointed a board to review requests for his nomination — which is a required part of the application to the Air Force, Naval and Military Academies. The academies will announce their selections in spring 2012.
