SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (May 5, 2011) - The Mount
Holyoke College Department of Athletics hosted its annual awards
celebration this evening in Chapin Auditorium. Individuals from all
14 varsity teams were honored. Volleyball player Kara Neidhardt served as the event’s
emcee.
Rider Lindsay
Sceats earned the prestigious Alumnae Association
Scholar-Athlete Award. Sceats was selected by the department
for her outstanding achievements as both an athlete and a scholar.
The award, which is sponsored by the Mount Holyoke Alumnae
Association, is considered by many to be the department’s
most prestigious.
With Sceats leading the way, Mount Holyoke qualified for the IHSA
National Championships for the third straight year and 20th time in
program history this season. She was at her best during her junior
campaign, when she captured top honors in the prestigious
Cacchione Cup Class at the National Championships. By doing so, she
became the third rider in program history to achieve the feat.
Sceats is majoring in biochemistry and boasts a 3.95 grade point
average. She will attend the Stanford University Medical School
next fall. As a junior, she served as a captain for the riding
team. In addition to her recent induction into Phi Beta Kappa,
Sceats has also earned the Louisa Stone Stephenson Chemistry
Prize and the Bernice MacLean Excellence in Biology
Award.
A total of 44 Lyons took home Senior Athlete Awards. They
each participated in their sport for at least three years,
including their senior year.
