2014 Men’s Track & Field Philadelphia
Inquirer Academic All-Area
PHILADELPHIA – Haverford College's Christopher Stadler has
been voted the performer of the year and is joined by teammate Avi
Bregman on the Philadelphia Inquirer's 2014 Academic
All-Area Men's Track & Field Team, as announced by the
Philadelphia Area Sports Information Directors Association
(Philly-SIDA).
The pair of Haverford seniors are two of 10 student-athletes to
earn 2014 academic all-area honors. In order to be eligible for
academic all-area, an athlete must be in at least his second year
at the institution and own a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20
or higher. The team is voted on by the sports information offices
of the 28 area institutions from the Philadelphia metropolitan
area.
Stadler garners his third selection as a performer of the year
as he also took home this honor during the 2012 and 2013 cross
country seasons. Additionally, he was named to the academic
all-area team for men’s track & field last spring, giving
him four academic all-area honors in total.
Stadler graduates from Haverford College as a two-time NCAA
Champion. He earned his most recent national title this spring when
he captured the 5,000 meter outdoor championship. Stadler was also
an NCAA Indoor Champion in the 5,000 meters during the 2012-13
season. In total, Stadler graduates with eight All-America honors.
He was a nine-time member of the Centennial Conference Academic
Honor Roll and earned the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate
Scholarship.
Bregman earns academic all-area honors for the second time in
his track & field career. The senior was also selected during
the fall cross country season for this honor. Bregman graduates as
a two-time All-American in the steeplechase. He placed fourth at
the NCAA Division III Championships during this past outdoor season
in the event. During the regular season, Bregman set the Haverford
and Centennial Conference record in the steeplechase with a time of
8 minutes, 51:30 seconds. He was also a three-time Centennial
Conference Champion in this event.
Stadler and Bregman are joined on the Philadelphia
Inquirer Academic All-Area Team by Matt Kacyon of Temple; Sam
