Printing out Highest Mark and Name of student

So i have to input 10 names and marks into two arrays, and print out the best students name and marks. I am still new to java, i can only print out the max mark from the array, but how am i going to link it to the students name?

import java.util.Scanner;                                                                                                                                                                                          
public class storeMarks  {                                                                                                                                                                                         
    public static void main (String[]args){                                                                                                                                                                        

        Scanner tomato = new Scanner(System.in);                                                                                                                                                                   

        double max;                                                                                                                                                                                                
        double marks[];                                                                                                                                                                                            
        marks= new double[10];                                                                                                                                                                                     
        int i;

I created a class student:

public class Student {

    private double mark;
    private String name;

    public Student()
    {
        mark = 0;
        name = "";
    }

    public Student(int mark, String name)
    {
        this.mark = mark;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public double getMark()
    {
        return mark;
    }
    public String getName()
    {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name)
    {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public void setMark(double mark)
    {
        this.mark = mark;
    }

}

then I edited your code in main

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here

    ArrayList<Student> studs = new ArrayList<Student>();
    for(int i=0; i< 3; i++)
    {
        studs.add(new Student());
    }

    Scanner tomato = new Scanner(System.in);                                                                                                                                                                   

    double max;                                                                                                                                                                                             
    int i;                                                                                                                                                                                                     

    for(i=0; i<3; i++) {  
         System.out.println("Enter name of student: ");                                                                                                                                                                   
        studs.get(i).setName(tomato.nextLine()); 
        System.out.println("Enter marks: ");                                                                                                                                                                   
        studs.get(i).setMark(tomato.nextDouble()); 
        tomato.nextLine();
    }                         
    int position = 0;
    max = studs.get(0).getMark();                                                                                                                                                                                            
    for(i = 0; i < 3; i++) {                                                                                                                                                                                  
        if(max < studs.get(i).getMark()) {                                                                                                                                                                                   
            max = studs.get(i).getMark(); 
            position = i;
        }                                                                                                                                                                                                      
    }                                                                                                                                                                                                          
    System.out.println("Highest marks:"+studs.get(position).getMark() + " student name " + studs.get(position).getName());
}

however, it is not the simplest choice

Edit: Simplier

   public static void main(String[] args) {

    double[] marks = new double[10];

    for(i=0; i<3; i++) {  
         System.out.println("Enter name of student: ");                                                                                                                                                                   
        names[i] = (tomato.nextLine());
