WEXFORD, Pa. (pacathletics.org)--The Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) hosted its Scholar-Athlete of the Year Banquet Tuesday. The evening of celebration was held at The Chadwick in Wexford.

The event started with a reception for all attendees at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and the introduction of the honorees.

"This year marks the return of our PAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Banquet at The Chadwick Banquet Center for the first time since 2019, as the Covid-19 pandemic made an in-person celebration impossible in both 2020 and 2021. We are thrilled to again be able to gather together in Wexford to celebrate the best and the brightest that our conference has to offer," said PAC Commissioner Joe Onderko. "These 22 outstanding individuals truly personify the term “Student-Athlete”, as their excellence both in the athletic arena as well as the classroom is unmatched by their contemporaries. Having had to also navigate over two years of major disruptions, both academically and athletically due to the pandemic, this group is truly unique and thus deserves special recognition for their collective accomplishments."

Over 120 were on hand to join in the celebration of the 22 recognized scholar-athletes.

Each of the PAC's 10 full-time member institutions – Bethany College, Chatham University, Franciscan University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Washington & Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College, along with football affiliates Carnegie Mellon University and Case Western Reserve University – were represented by some of their most distinguished student-athletes at the event. Also attending Tuesday were representatives from Allegheny College, which will be returning to the PAC as its 11th full-time member July 1. Allegheny was a member of the league from 1958 through the spring of 1984. 

With overwhelming support from conference's presidents and athletic administrators, the PAC launched its Scholar-Athlete of the Year Banquet in 2014 as another way to recognize the league's student-athletes for their athletic achievements, excellence in the classroom and outstanding community service efforts.
