VESTAL, N.Y. -- The Binghamton Athletic Department has announced its 2023 induction class into the National College Athlete Honor Society (Chi Alpha Sigma). There are 58 inductees in this year's class.
In order to be eligible for induction into Chi Alpha Sigma, a student-athlete must have achieved junior academic standing by their fifth semester, have attained at least a 3.4 cumulative grade point average and have participated in a sport sponsored by the NCAA.
"This is a tremendous academic accomplishment for some of our hardest working student-athletes," Associate Director of Athletics Dave Eagan said. "The recognition of this group of high achieving student-athletes is very much deserved. All of these inductees have demonstrated their ability to perform at a high level in the classroom and in their respective sports. It's impressive to see".
"It's an honor to be inducted into the National College Athlete Honor Society, men's soccer player Will Noecker said. "There's a lot of guys on my team I've looked up to in previous years that have been inducted as well so it's nice follow in their footsteps and to be recognized for my achievements both on and off the field."
"After working so hard to get where I am today, it is truly an honor to be recognized along with so many great athletes," women's cross country and track runner Carolyn Burnell said. "Being inducted is such a great reward and goes to show that my commitment and discipline these past four years does not go unnoticed."
Since its inception in 2006, 539 Binghamton student-athletes have been inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma.
