Elite 20
The SUNYAC Elite 20, an award modeled after the NCAA ELITE 90 program, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the conference championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers.
This year there is a tie so the conference is honoring both Sarah Vicente a mathematics major from Oneonta and Kristin Keleman an English adolescence education major from Fredonia. The two junior student-athletes maintain a 3.98 GPA.
