Connor Scanlan earns 2024 Inter-Ac AD’s award
The Inter-Academic Athletic League Directors of Athletics named 13 student-athletes as recipients of the annual Inter-Ac AD’s awards. The AD’s Award is presented annually to a senior girl and/or senior boy who has been a multi-sport varsity athlete and has exemplified dedication to their team and school. Recipients are considered to be outstanding representatives of the Inter-Ac League in sportsmanship and leadership.
The AD’s Award began as the Willard Award in 1997 and from 1997-2010 the award recognized accomplished three sport athletes within the Girls Inter-Ac League. After the Boys’ and Girls’ Leagues merged in 2013, the award became the AD’s Award. Boys were first recognized with this award in 2019.

"I am honored to represent The Haverford School as the Inter-Ac AD award winner.
Playing in the Inter Ac the last four years has helped me not only become a better player but also most importantly it has helped me become a better leader and teammate because of the challenging competition playing some of the best athletes around.
Haverford has been an amazing experience for me on and off the field/court. Including the high academics, competitive sports, and the friendships made. But nothing says Haverford sports more than looking up into the stands while playing a game and seeing and hearing your “brotherhood” student section cheering. It is truly something I will never forget.
I am forever grateful for all my coaches, teammates, teachers/faculty, and friends at Haverford for pushing me athletically, academically, and helping me become the person I am today."—Connor Scanlan
"Connor has been a tremendous part of the basketball program for four years. He has improved each season and as a senior was a leader on and off the court for the Fords! Connor was a cerebral player who was able to out work and out-think people on the court. He had a knack for helping his team in so many ways whether it was taking a charge, talking on defense, making the extra pass or simply leading from the bench!"—Coach Bernie Rogers, Basketball
"Connor continued to push his limits as an athlete this year. Deciding to play football his senior year has made him even a tougher competitor this Spring. He plays with a high athletic IQ and utilizes his skills while making an impact for our squad as a senior leader."—Coach Bob Castell, Baseball
"For Connor, only playing one year of high school football was courageous, he was coachable and maximized his talents. He was cool, calm and had a can-do attitude. It was great to have Connor as a part of the program."—Brian Martin, Football
