East Senior, Fred Foueppe, was recently featured in the Wisconsin State Journal for his athletic and academic excellence.
Speed always has been the key to success for Madison East two-sport athlete Fred Foueppe.
The soccer and track star is even fast-tracking his dream of attending medical school by dual enrolling at Madison College. He ultimately wants to become a physician and will major in biological sciences.
“I’m specifically interested in learning about the human body and how you get the best output from it,” Foueppe said. “I’ve also been thinking about biomedical engineering because I enjoy math and wanted to see if I could combine my knowledge.”
Foueppe will get hands-on experience this summer when he interns with the Tiny Earth Network at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There he will conduct scientific research on antibiotics and the decline in soil health.
“I found out about it through one of my science classes because it’s something we’ve already been working with,” Foueppe said. “Our teacher said there was a summer internship where they’ll pay you and provide housing to continue the research, so I applied and got it.”
