LAURA CHADDOCK '06 WINS NCAA POST-GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP
Tennis ace Laura Chaddock '06 has been named an NCAA
Post-Graduate Scholar, the second member along with runner Grant
Scott from the just-graduated senior class to receive that prestigious
distinction. Chaddock, a psychology major, will study at the University
of Illinois graduate school in the fall.
Chaddock finished her senior season ranked 26th in
the NCAA Mid-South Region, with a 17-7 singles record while completing
four years of play under coach Ann Koger.
At Commencement, she received the First Clementine
Cope Fellowship for graduate school, traditionally the highest award
given by Haverford. She also earned the David Olton '64 Award for
student achievement in psychology, named after the late Commodore
of Haverford Sailing when that activity was a varsity sport here.
She was also Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa and a recipient of
High Honors in psychology.
Chaddock was also a devoted captain and very effective
member of several campus groups, a leader among her classmates in
athletic matters as well as in the classroom.
Haverford has now produced 20 NCAA Scholars (and two
alternates) going back to Hunter Rawlings '66. Chaddock is the fourth
woman among that group. Only one previous class, 2001, matched this
class' achievement in turning out two winners, when Matt Popowsky
(baseball) and Robin Herlands (field hockey/lacrosse) were both
named for the award.
HC athletes have now won 12 NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarships
in the past decade, one of the highest totals in all NCAA Division
III.
