Alex Holdstein of Hastings-on-Hudson and the University of Hartford men's tennis team was selected to the 2013 America East All-Academic squads, with a 3.77 grade point average. During the spring tennis season, he posted a 3-1 record in singles play, and four victories in dual-match doubles play.

The All-Academic squads are chosen by faculty representatives and athletics directors from each of the conference's nine member institutions, who decide to honor the league's top student-athletes, who excel equally in the classroom as they do on the playing field. Congratulations Alex!  

At the Last Chance track and field meet, held on May 13 at Swarthmore College, Julian Saliani of Irvington and Johns Hopkins finished 48th of 78 runners in the men's 1,500 race, with a time of 4:03.27. It was a non-scoring event.
