Representative Award
Penn
State Behrend track and field team captain Staci Banaszek
(Erie/Harborcreek) is this year's recipient of the Allegheny
Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Faculty Athletic
Representative (FAR) Award. This award is voted on by the
faculty athletic representatives from AMCC member schools in
conjunction with the selection of the AMCC All-Academic Team.
The FAR award is presented to a student-athlete who excels in the classroom as
well as in competition.
Banaszek graduated this May with a 3.9 GPA in accounting from Penn
State Behrend. The track and field standout will be competing
May 18 and 19 at the ECAC Championships at Springfield College.
She has competed at the ECAC Championships in each of the past three
seasons, earning All-ECAC honors each year. Banaszek, also
Penn State Behrend's 2005-2006 Female Athlete of the Year, will
compete in the long, triple, and high jumps. She is the school
record holder in all three of those events and has also
provisionally qualified in the high jump for the NCAA Championships
which will be held May 25-27.
