Seniors Kyle John and Corey Peltier from wrestling and Shelby Reyes from water polo have been selected for the Weaver-James-Corrigan Award, Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced Monday.
The award is given to 36 student-athletes, including three student-athletes who will receive the Thacker Award. Additionally, six student-athletes who plan to enter a professional career in their chosen sport were named honorary recipients.
The Weaver-James-Corrigan and Jim and Pat Thacker scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes – three from each league institution – who intend to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Each recipient will receive $5,000 to contribute to their graduate education. Those honored have performed with distinction in both the classroom and his/her respective sports, while demonstrating exemplary conduct in the community.
