Three Penn State athletes honored with McCoy and Oswald Awards by the university

Three Penn State athletes were honored by the university on Friday.

Women's soccer's Kaleigh Riehl and men's lacrosse's Grant Ament won the Ernest B. McCoy Memorial Award while football's Blake Gillikin won the John W. Oswald Award.

The Ernest B. McCoy Memorial Award is given out annually to one male and one female senior student-athlete for their achievements in both athletics and academics, named after the former Dean of College of Physical Education and Athletic Director.

Riehl is the third women's soccer player to be recognized with the McCoy award since 2016, with fellow College Cup winners Britt Eckerstrom and Emily Ogle also rewarded in 2016 and 2019 respectively.
