We were very proud to honor junior student-athletes Nathan Plotner and Jaden Wan last night at Honors Convocation. Nathan and Jaden received the 2026 Paul L. Reardon Award.

The Paul L. Reardon Award is presented annually to a male and female junior student-athlete who demonstrate academic, athletic, and leadership qualities.

Paul Reardon was a longtime coach and administrator at W&J and a beloved figure. He is a member of the W&J Athletic Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to 2026 PAC Champions Nathan and Jaden and thank you for representing the W&J Presidents in a first-class manner on and off the court!
