A Record-Setting Recognition
The Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) recently unveiled its Winter Academic All-MAC Teams, honoring student-athletes who have excelled both in the classroom and on the playing fields of winter sports.
Among the institutions represented, Stevens Institute of Technology stood out, with fifteen of its students earning the distinction — the highest count of any school in the conference.
These honorees span a range of winter competitions, including men’s and women’s basketball, indoor track and field, men’s swimming, women’s swimming, and wrestling, reflecting the breadth of athletic participation at the school.
Across the conference, 102 athletes were recognized, underscoring a conference-wide commitment to scholarly achievement alongside competitive success.
The selected Stevens students hail from diverse locales, with athletes such as Tommy Scholl of Fairfield, Connecticut, and Leyla Castro of Old Bridge, New Jersey, representing the men’s and women’s basketball squads, while others like Danny Jutras of Wrentham, Massachusetts, and Brandon Kiefer of Severna Park, Maryland, contributed to the indoor track and field roster.
Additional honorees include swimmers such as Deo Bove of Warren, New Jersey, and Natalia Brunetti of Richmond, California, as well as wrestlers like Nico Diaz of Woodbridge, New Jersey, illustrating the school’s multi-sport depth.
Beyond the individual accolades, the recognition reflects Stevens’ broader mission to cultivate leaders who thrive academically while competing at high levels, a balance that the institution consistently promotes.
