STANDISH, ME - A pair of standout SJC athletes have
been selected to represent Saint Joseph's College at this May’s
National Student-Athlete Development Conference hosted by the NCAA.
Juniors Ryan Prescott (Pittsfield,
NH) and Wade Oliver (Owls Head,
ME) will join 700 other student athletes at Walt Disney World in Orlando,
FL May 25-29 for the conference.
The NCAA National Student-Athlete Development Conference provides
NCAA student-athletes with a forum to openly discuss issues that may
affect them on their campuses and in their communities, while also
providing them with the opportunity to enhance their leadership, communication,
decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Prescott is a two-sport standout, participating in cross country as
well as lacrosse. He also is a member of the St. Joe’s club
hockey squad. Prescott was named the 2007 GNAC Men’s Cross Country
Runner of the Year after winning the conference meet in October.
Oliver was selected to the North Atlantic Conference Baseball First
Team in 2007 after hitting .364 with 34 runs, 25 RBI’s and 13
stolen bases to help lead the Monks to the conference tournament title
and a berth into the NCAA Regionals. The nimble outfielder was also
named as the 2006 NAC Rookie of the Year.
Oliver and Prescott were chosen to represent Saint Joseph's College
at the conference as both demonstrate outstanding leadership skills
in the classroom and on the playing field.
