For the fourth straight year, Keuka College had the most scholar-athletes in the North Eastern Athletic Conference.
The Green and Gold had 147 student-athletes earn the honor this past season, besting Lancaster Bible College, which was in second at 136. The Wolves and the Chargers were the only two schools in the 12-team league to have more than 100.
The scholar-athlete honor is given to a student-athlete in a sport that competes in the North Eastern Athletic Conference and has a combined 3.40 grade-point average for the academic year.
