“The selection committee immediately recognized the aptitude of Lilly,” explained HHYF executive director Ellen Taylor. “While not from a racing family, Lilly will always love harness racing and appreciate what her HHYF experiences taught her, which will help both in her collegiate efforts as well as in life.”

The Greene Memorial Scholarship is named in honor of the late Communicators Hall of Famer Curt Greene, whose passion for harness racing ran deeply. The Sweet Karen Scholarship is named after the HHYF Trottingbred whose patience allowed many young people hands-on harness racing experiences.
