JOHNSTON, Iowa (Feb. 23, 2026) — Each year, the Iowa Bankers Association presents the Student Athlete Achievement Award to student-athletes who excel not only in athletics, but also academically and in their communities. Keaton Moeller, a senior at Starmont High School, was presented the scholarship award at the Iowa High School Boys State Wrestling Tournament held Feb. 18-21 in Des Moines.
“Keaton is highly goal-oriented and consistently demonstrates a strong sense of direction and personal responsibility,” said Troy Northrop, former Starmont High School teacher and coach. “What truly distinguishes Mr. Moeller is his commitment to serving others. He is deeply involved in the community and regularly seeks opportunities to give back, not for recognition, but out of a genuine desire to make a positive impact.”
Kristen Arthur, senior vice president of operations at Community Savings Bank in Edgewood, presented Moeller with the $1,000 scholarship to the college of his choice.
“The Iowa Bankers Association is proud to recognize remarkable high school seniors that are leaders on their teams, in the classroom and in their community,” said Adam Gregg, IBA president and CEO. “As longtime supporters of financial literacy, Iowa bankers are committed to helping Iowans reach their financial goals. We know that these scholarship recipients have a bright future, and we hope they will continue to contribute to Iowa communities following graduation.”
For three decades, the IBA has sponsored the Student Athlete Achievement Award program, which has grown to honor student-athletes in football, basketball and wrestling. The IBA has awarded more than $365,000 in scholarships since the program began.
