WORCESTER, Mass. – The College of the Holy Cross had 13 student-athletes named 2024 Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholars, honoring their athletic and academic achievements. The awards were announced in the April 25 issue of Diverse: Issues in Higher Education magazine. Leading the way was junior Tyler Williamson of the men's rowing team, who was one of 10 national finalists for the men's Sports Scholar of the Year award.

Inspired by Ashe Jr.'s commitment to education and excellence on the tennis court, the magazine invites every higher education institution in the country annually to nominate outstanding minority sports scholars. In addition to athletic ability, nominees must exhibit academic excellence and community activism. To be eligible, students have to compete in an intercollegiate sport, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, be at least a sophomore academically and be active on their campuses or in their communities.
