Jammin' 98.3 Recognizes the Milwaukee Area’s Top Scholar Athletes
Muhammad Ali once said, "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision.“
If you know a middle or high school student that excels in the classroom as well as in sports, nominate that student for the “Jammin 98.3 Scholar Athlete.”
