The North Atlantic Conference (NAC) has named men's cross country and track and field senior
Nick Logan (Queensbury, NY) as a 2024 NAC Man of the Year Finalist.
A total of six recent graduates from North Atlantic Conference (NAC) institutions have been nominated for the conference's 2024 Man of the Year Award.
The NAC Man of the Year award is modeled after the NCAA Woman of the Year program which honors graduating student athletes who distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletic excellence, service, and leadership. The NAC also selects a Woman of the Year using the same model, nominees for which were released on June 26, 2024. These are the two preeminent awards presented annually by the conference.
Member schools nominate student athletes from their own institution, then NAC Athletic Directors and Senior Woman Administrators vote to select the Man of the Year. Scoring for the academic achievement section is based on the undergraduate cumulative grade-point average of the nominee. Scoring for athletic excellence is based on the nominee's honors and accomplishments including awards and championships, and scoring for service and leadership is based on their involvement in campus and community activities and organizations over the course of their collegiate career. Administrators also consider a short personal statement written by each nominee.
The NAC Man of the Year will be announced in early July and will be honored on campus during the upcoming academic year. More information on each of the 2024 NAC Man of the Year nominees is below:
