She has been on the varsity soccer program for four years, serving as captain this season and also is a state champion power lifter. Owens plans to attend either Eastern Washington University or Central Washington University and studying sports medicine.

Kaitlin Norton, daughter of Ted and Dawn Norton of Enumclaw, was the recipient from Enumclaw High School. With a 3.9 grade-point average, Norton is a member of the National Honor Society.
