According to a list of scholarships awarded to the senior class and provided by the school, each award carried a $13,400 scholarship, as well as the honor of joining Viking multi-sport greats of the past.
McDowell starred in golf and tennis throughout her Whitehall career and played basketball as a senior. Thompson led the Vikings in football, basketball and track for his four years in red, white and black.
Thompson also received the senior area athlete of the year award from the Muskegon Area Sports Hall of Fame in June.
