Carlie Littlefield & Matt Marquardt Named Winter 2021 PNC Student-Athlete Achiever Award Recipients
February 25, 2021 | General, Men's Swimming and Diving, Women's Basketball
Princeton Athletics and PNC Bank are proud to recognize our Winter 2021 PNC Student-Athlete Achiever Award recipients -- Carlie Littlefield (women's basketball) and Matt Marquardt (men's swimming and diving) -- for their efforts as all-around student-athletes.
A senior captain, two-time first-team All-Ivy honoree and 1,000 point scorer, Carlie Littlefield helped lead Princeton to Ivy League Championships in each of her first three years on campus. Off the court, Littlefield -- an economics major -- serves as President of the Varsity Student Athlete Advisory Council, where she recently led efforts to deliver valentines to patients at St. Jude Children's Hospital. Earlier this year, she organized a team-wide free throw challenge that raised over $13,000 for I AM TRENTON, a local non-profit serving the Trenton community. Additionally, Littlefield has previously served as a Coach for College participant and the Iowa State Director for Princeton's Vote100 Campaign. For her efforts, Littlefield was recently recognized as the NJAIAW Princeton Woman of the Year.
Matthew Marquardt is a senior on the men's swimming & diving team, specializing in the backstroke and butterfly. In 2019, Marquardt became the first Princetonian to receive a Slavin Fellowship for his entrepreneurship, while also being honored at Princeton Research Day for his work on solar powered windows. He has led numerous research studies on campus related to student sleep habits, and worked with Princeton Tiger Performance to help student-athletes leverage sleep to maximize performance. Marquardt recently completed a 20 day solo cross-country bike ride, which raised over $13,000 in support of St. Jude Children's Hospital and pediatric cancer research. A chemistry major pursuing certificates in Entrepreneurship, Materials Science, and Engineering, Marquardt plans to pursue medical school after graduation.
Thanks to our partner, PNC, for their continued support of Princeton Athletics and the student-athletes who represent Princeton.
Giving It Their All In Every Endeavor.
