The Centennial Conference is one of the premier small college conferences in the country - academically and athletically. Our institutions range in size from 1,168 to 5,110 students, while offering a range of 17 to 27 sports - among the highest in the nation. Academically, our members are among the most highly-regarded liberal arts colleges and universities in the country. Last year (2006-07), 13 Centennial student-athletes were named to CoSIDA Academic All-America teams, while four were awarded NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarships. And more than 700 were named to the Conference's Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes students who have a 3.40 cumulative grade point average and have made a significant contribution to their athletic team(s). Athletically, the Conference is on par with the top programs in the NCAA. In 2006-07, eight Centennial athletes were named first-team All-America - Jessica Lamina and Kaitlyn Sutherland of Ursinus (field hockey); Ben Scott of Johns Hopkins (football); Pat Vaughan, Andrew Fairhurst (men's lacrosse) and Katie Hagan (women's lacrosse) of Gettysburg; and Emily Gill and Jen Pritchard of Franklin & Marshall (women's lacrosse).
