Question : How do you decide who's the athlete of the week? Do they win something for getting picked?

Answer: Hi Dave - Great to hear from you and thanks for the inquiry.

To briefly answer your question, the Stony Brook University Student-Athlete of the Week is selected by a weekly vote of our media relations staff. Prior to formally announcing the winner, the nomination is approved by one of our senior administrators for final confirmation.

The Stony Brook University Student-Athlete of the Week award honors the best athletic performance from the previous week. The winners do not win anything tangible at the time of the announcement, however, they do receive an acknowledgement and plaque at our year end Student-Athlete Awards Banquet in May.

Thank you again for your question and please let us know if you have any further comments or questions......Go Seawolves!

Sincerely,
Jim
