May 27, 2009
Three Herkimer County Community College students received the 2008-09 SUNY Chancellor’s Scholar Athlete Award. The highest award given to a student-athlete in the State University, the Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete award recognizes a combination of outstanding academic excellence and superior athletic achievement.
The recipients are Courtney Roberts (West Winfield), women’s soccer and women’s softball; Chantal Salamone (Little Falls), women’s track and field; and Kurt Vowell (Palmyra), men’s track and field.
“These students are role models for other students here at Herkimer and throughout the state. I am very proud of their academic success and the significant contributions they have made to the college and community,” said Director of Athletics Donald Dutcher.
To be considered for this award, student-athletes had to be nominated by their athletic directors. Nominees then had their academic credentials and athletic accomplishments reviewed by athletic directors from across the State University system. Recipients of this award have an average GPA of 3.66.
