PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Pilots Cross Country and Track stars Matt Strangio and Laura Pellicoro have been named the 2024-25 Fr. Chester Prusynski Student-Athletes of the Year.
The award recognizes the two top student-athletes – one on the men's side and one on the women's – from the past academic year for Pilot Athletics. The award is the most prestigious University honor for student-athletes, with the name of the award changed in 2010 to honor Rev. Chester Prusynski, C.S.C, a bastion of the University community and an ardent supporter of Pilot Athletics for almost 50 years.
Strangio had a dominant season in cross country, indoor and outdoor track for the Pilots.
