Congratulations to the 2011 SAMMY Award Winners!

The 2011 Scholar Athlete Milk Mustache of the Year (SAMMY) Award winners have been selected! Each of the twenty-five winners received a $7,500 college scholarship, a starring role in a special Milk Mustache ad in USA TODAY on June 25, 2010 and a special awards weekend trip to Disney World with their families.

The SAMMY Awards are co-sponsored by USA TODAY and given each year to 25 milk-drinking high school seniors in recognition of outstanding performance in academics, athletics, leadership and community service. This year, more than 40,000 high school seniors applied for the SAMMY Award.

For the first time, the student-athlete who best embodies the spirit of SAMMY was named SAMMY MVP at the 2011 awards ceremony. Tucson, Arizona's Rexford Woodbury won the SAMMY MVP title. Rexford set up a Facebook group to help generate the highest number of votes. For his efforts, $5,000 will go to Feeding America, his charity of choice. Rexford will continue to refuel with lowfat chocolate milk after workouts when he attends Dartmouth University this fall.

Applications for the 2012 SAMMY Awards will be available in November of 2011 on www.refuelwithchocolatemilk.com.
