Katie Renwick, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is graduating from Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Renwick will receive her bachelor's degree in environmental science today. She's a speaker at today’s commencement ceremony and was also named Student of the Year. In addition to keeping up with her studies, Renwick played for the softball team all four years. She was named to the First Team All-Conference for one year. "Being the kind of student I am, I don’t want to miss class. So, there were many times that I drove myself to games. So, I would attend class and then hurried up to make it to the game," she told The Lawrence Journal-World. Get the Story:
