BPSN released a recap of NC’s Annual Athletic Awards Banquet held on March 26.
The recap highlights female athlete of the year, Janee Harrison and male athlete of the year, Carter Thurman.
Women’s head basketball head coach Chris Rao is quoted in the article: “We are extremely proud of Janee. She put the work in over the summer and throughout the year to have a bounceback season. These awards are often tied to team success. We had a very good year as a team and it’s great to see that recognized by this award. Janee battled so much this year personally and injury-wise and maintained a high level through it all.”
Men’s and women’s volleyball head coach Steve Stone is also quoted in the article: “Men like Carter Thurman are hard to find and when you have them as a coach, it breaks your heart when their careers come to an end. He has been a cornerstone for program for three years with great passion, work ethic, skill, and competitiveness. He is the leader you want on your team, making improvements every year and never being satisfied. I’m so happy that Carter was able to be recognized as the college’s male athlete of the year. It has been a privilege to coach Carter. I’ve become a better coach because of him and I’m excited to see what’s next for him.”
