Le Moyne

Coach Robin Wheeless on senior Mya Walters – "Mya is so much more than just an athlete; although she has been one of our top distance athletes for years.  She is a top student as well having held several positions with the student government here at Le Moyne including president of the student athlete advisory committee, as well as starting Le Moyne's Food Recovery Network chapter.  She has been a mentor and tutor to our younger athletes and an example for others to follow.  We are all better for having known her and we will miss her dearly."

The biology major earned the prestigious NE10 Elite 24 Award at this February's Indoor Conference Championships and is looking to continue her education in the medical field.

Southern Connecticut

Coach Melissa Stoll on her senior class – "Throughout their tenure as Lady Owls, each of these seniors have imprinted their mark in our program's history with a unique story of their journey where their actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more.
