Athletic director Erich Frombach said the five were part of a group of 17 Avon seniors who will go to participate in college athletics. He said the group exemplified student-athletes. “I was amazed to see not only were they successful athletically, but academically successful in life,” said. “Academics play a huge role. “There’s way more money in academics than athletics.” Frombach said the five students maintained adjusted GPAs of 3.9, 3.8, 3.8, 3.6 and 3.5.
