2024 was ultimately a disappointing year for UVA athletics in many ways, but there was still plenty to celebrate.

Men’s Athlete of the Year: Connor Shellenberger
The hometown kid became a legend in Charlottesville from his first season in 2021, when he was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player amidst Virginia’s championship run. Shellenberger is Virginia’s all-time leader in total points (323) and places atop the ACC leaderboard in career assists (192).
