Every year, the University of Rochester Department of Athletics and Recreation honors some of the University’s top student-athletes with Lysle ‘Spike’ Garnish Scholar Athlete awards. This year, three outstanding Hajim School students were selected by the Garnish Committee and were honored on campus at halftime of the Rochester-Ithaca football game on October 4. Hajim students among the honorees included Max McClung ’26 (electrical and computer engineering) from the swimming and diving team, and soccer players Ashton Junnosuke Prescott ’26 (computer science) and Cece Vassallo ’26 (mechanical engineering).
