Scholar Athlete Teams: 

At the end of each season, teams across New York State are recognized for not only their efforts on the playing surface but in the classroom as well.  Scholar-athlete teams are recognized if their overall team average is 90% or above for at least 75% of athletes on a given roster.  Student-athletes may also be recognized as an individual scholar-athlete if their personal average is 90% or above and will be awarded a pin for each season they meet this criteria.

With so many of our teams earning scholar-athlete team recognition, Wayland-Cohocton will once again be recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association as a School of Excellence, one of the highest levels of recognition for high school sports in regards to academic achievement.  Well done and congratulations to our athletes and coaches!
