"Theresa Prehn is an outstanding student scholar athlete who has represented our area and country with distinction as a member of the USA Luge Junior Candidate's Team.  She will soon go on to serve our country in the U.S. Air Force Academy as part of the best, brightest and most compassionate fighting force for good on Earth, the members of the United States military. I'm proud to recognize Theresa's accomplishments and bright future with the NYS Senate Youth Leadership Award," said Senator Jim Tedisco.
