SPARTA, Mich. — The weather lately hasn't felt much like winter, but this week's Meijer Scholar Athlete is still getting plenty of time on the ice.
Tanner Bormes is a senior at Sparta High School. He plays hockey, tennis and baseball for the Spartans. In the classroom he maintains a 4.03 GPA. His favorite subject is history. He's also an executive with the student council and an officer for National Honor Society.
Tanner says he's developed a hard-working mentality over the years to help him juggle all those responsibilities, and when all else fails, he has his friends and family to help him stay on track.
"School was easy for me for awhile, but the farther you get, the harder it gets. It's just so nice to have a support group around me that helps me through my school work and athletic life and stuff like that," he said.
Tanner plans to major in business at Ferris State University next year.
