Full Centennial Conference Release

HAVERFORD, Pa. - The 2023 Centennial Conference spring academic honorees were announced on Thursday afternoon, as Haverford's Isabel Thornberry (Louisville, Colorado) was named a co-recipient of the Women's Outdoor Track & Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.

The junior chemistry major was presented the award as a junior or senior member of the All-Centennial team with the highest cumulative grade point average.

A three-time member of the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll, Thornberry was recently named second-team All-Centennial Conference for the 4x400 meter relay, as the Haverford squad finished as runner-up at the CC Championships on May 7. The relay squad also finished as USTFCCCA All-Metro region selections for their performances in the relay this season.

In the indoor season, Thornberry is also an USTFCCCA 4x400 meter All-Region pick, and was an honorable mention All-CC selection in the 400 meters after a bronze medal finish in that event at the Centennial Indoor Championships. 

Brooke Adams of Ursinus was the other co-winner of the award this season. Thornberry's honor is the first CC Outdoor Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for the program since Kelley Riffenburgh after the 2015 season. Women's Track & Field's Ally Landau was honored for women's basketball during the winter academic honors release.
