CLAREMONT, Calif. — Quentin Wimmer was named SCIAC Offensive Athlete of the Year while head coach
John Walsh and staff earned Coaching Staff of the Year honors, the conference announced Friday. In total, 11 Sagehens earned First and Second Team nods.
Asked to do a little bit of everything in the Sagehens' offense over the course of the season, Wimmer totaled 449 yards on 41 catches with six touchdowns along with another 141 on the ground and 48 through the air. A 10-catch, 164-yard performance with the game-winning touchdown in the Championship Game punctuated a brilliant senior year that helped seal Pomona-Pitzer's second-ever NCAA Championship appearance after first making the field in 2022.
John Walsh and the Pomona-Pitzer sideline earned Coaching Staff of the Year recognition after leading the Sagehens to a first outright SCIAC title and second-ever NCAA Championship bid. An epic rally from a 21-point halftime deficit in the Championship Game will not be forgotten anytime soon as the Sagehens enter the NCAA Championship on a six-game conference win streak.
