The postseason honors keep rolling in for Arkport senior Ibrahim Ford.
Ford, who was recently named the 2026 All-Greater Rochester Boys Track and Field Team Athlete of the Year, picked up another distinction as Section V announced its scholarship winners for the final time in 2025-26.
The section selected nine winners, one for each spring sport, with each recipient receiving a $500 scholarship to support future academic pursuits. There were about 40 applicants for the spring award.
For consideration, Section V requires a letter of recommendation from the student-athlete’s coach, a high school transcript and a list of activities participated in.
Here are the recipients for spring 2026:
Baseball: Miguel Gonzalez, Wheatland-Chili
Softball: Calla McCombs, Bloomfield
Boys lacrosse: Braden Fingar, Penn Yan
Girls lacrosse: Marin Jaeger, Irondequoit
Boys track and field: Ibrahim Ford, Arkport
Girls track and field: Isabella Mesiti, Brockport
Flag football: Sydney Howard, Wayne
Boys golf: Aiden Hoy, Pittsford Sutherland
Boys tennis: Perry Francis, East Rochester
