Four UB Student-Athletes Named SUNY Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Award Winners
BUFFALO, NY - Four University at Buffalo student-athletes have been selected as SUNY Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Award winners for 2005-06. The Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Award was created in 2003-04 to recognize students who have combined academic excellence and outstanding athletic achievement at the Division I, Division III and NJCAA levels at SUNY schools. One award winner was selected in each sport at each of the three athletic levels - for a total of 73 students in 19 different sports from 31 SUNY campuses. For the first time since the creation of the award, Buffalo did not lead the Division I selections. Albany led the way with eight and Binghamton and Stony Brook both had five. All of the award winners were honored at a Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Awards ceremony at Westchester Community College on Monday, May 1. Buffalo’s four award winners are as follows:
