Each year, the NC State athletic department recognizes its student athletes with the ‘Wolfies,’ handing out awards for the Pack’s brightest moments on and off the field. National champion women’s cross country and track runner Katelyn Tuohy and Lou Groza Award winning kicker Christopher Dunn took home major honors.

Both athletes won the H.C. Kennett Award, which “is given annually to a superior student-athlete who demonstrates the finest attributes of good sportsmanship and team play,” according to a press release from GoPack.com.

“Tuohy set the NCAA record for the indoor 3,000-meter with a time of 8:35.20,” NC State athletes wrote in its press release. “She also set the NCAA record for the indoor mile with a time of 4:24.26. She ranked first in the country for the mile, 3K and 5K leading into NCAA Indoors where she claimed two individual national championships.
 
“Christopher Dunn, the winner of the 2022 Lou Groza Place-Kicker Award, became the NCAA career leader in field goals (97) and ended his career ranked second in kick scoring (491 points) after a sensational final season with the Wolfpack. Dunn missed just one kick (28 of 29) the entire season and led the nation in field goals per game.”
