NORMAL – The Illinois State Athletics department and PNC Bank honored six student-athletes who were selected as PNC Achievers for their academic and athletic accomplishments during the 2024-2025 academic year.
The 2024-25 PNC Achievers include: Jay Mack (Gymnastics), Wenkers Wright (Football), Abby Horton (Softball), Jinyoung Yun (Women's Golf), Elena Jankulovska (Women's Tennis) and Boden Skunberg (Men's Basketball).
"This recognition is about celebrating students who excel in the classroom, embrace leadership and care about the world around them. We congratulate the PNC Achievers on their achievements and look forward to their continued leadership as they continue their journeys," said Brian Ray, PNC regional president for central Illinois.
Each student was recognized during an ISU football home game in the 2024 season, including the release of a short video during the game featuring each student. Additionally, each student was featured in a long form video distributed on ISU's social media channels.
Since 2014, PNC Bank has recognized students at Illinois State University with the PNC Achievers designation, a program dedicated to honoring students at more than a dozen schools and universities across the country. Honorees are selected locally by designated panels at each respective school using a set of criteria which includes the three pillars of academic achievement, community service and student leadership.
