Case Western Reserve University inducted a record 98 members into the 2024 Van Horn Society, which recognizes student-athletes at the University who have recorded a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 or higher and are in the third year or later of their academic career at the University.
The 98 inductees were one more than the previous high of 97, set last year. Of the 98, 43 were honored for a second or third time while 35 have perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point averages at CWRU. The 98 honorees represent 35% of CWRU athletes eligible for the award by academic year.
The honorees were recognized at the ninth annual induction ceremony on Monday, December 9, in the Adelbert Hall Atrium. Speakers at the event included CWRU President Eric W. Kaler and James C. Wyant Director of Athletics TJ Shelton.
Previously known as the CWRU Scholar-Athlete Award, the honor was renamed in recognition of Spartan Club Hall of Fame member Dr. Frank R. Van Horn, who served as the Athletic Director at the Case Institute of Technology from 1900-1926 and helped to build the foundation of the athletic program. His accomplishments include hiring the first football coach in program history, building a football stadium (later named in his honor), and fundraising to build a facility that enabled Case to begin varsity programs for basketball, swimming, and wrestling.
The following student-athletes were inducted into the Van Horn Society this year (* indicates a multiple-time inductee):
