Ward's Dream Continues at UC, the CC and D-III
(June 30) - Jon Ward, a recent graduate of Parkland (Pa.) High School,
could have been a big-time Division I basketball recruit. He found out
that D-I is a big business ... a cutthroat business ... one that left a
bitter taste in his mouth.
In this story from Keith Groller of the
Allentown Morning Call, Ward reflects on his D-I recruiting experience,
he discovers that Ursinus College, the Centennial Conference, and
Division III may be just the place for him to continue following his
dream.
Three Earn NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships
(June 24) - Once again showing why it is one of the elite conferences in
the nation, the Centennial Conference had three students earn NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships for spring sports. Gettysburg's Tyler Kreitz (track and field),
Haverford's Alex Buxbaum (tennis) and Washington's Jimmy Kielek
(lacrosse) were awarded the scholarships for excellence academically and
athletically in their final year of intercollegiate athletics
competition. The one-time grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall
sports, winter sports and spring sports. Each sports season (fall,
winter and spring), there are 29 scholarships available for men and 29
scholarships available for women. The scholarships are one-time,
non-renewable grants.
Four Named Track/Cross Country Academic All-Americans
(June 22) - The Centennial Conference placed four students on the 2009 ESPN THE MAGAZINE Academic All-America
Track and Cross Country teams. Swarthmore's Caitlin Mullarkey and Gettysburg's Kerrin Epstein were named to the
women's second and third teams, respectively, while Gettysburg's Tyler Kreitz and Muhlenberg's Bobby Torphy were
tabbed for the men's second and third teams, respectively. Mullarkey has a 3.86 GPA in honors biology, while
Epstein has a 4.03 GPA in English and political science. Kreitz has a 3.91 GPA in biochemistry and molecular
biology, and Torphy has a 4.0 GPA in biochemistry.
Women's Team / Men's Team
Please note that if you are a high school student considering participation in intercollegiate athletics in our Conference, we are not
permitted to allow you to follow us by NCAA rules. Please understand that the Centennial Conference is working with the NCAA to correct
this situation. We appreciate your understanding.
