MCCC Athletics Forms Student Athlete Leadership Council

6/11/24

In February, Mercer Athletics formed its first Student Athlete Leadership Council (SALC).  The SALC is made up of student athletes from each MCCC sports team.  The SALC allows student athletes to express and address concerns and issues among Viking sports teams and also gives MCCC student athletes leadership opportunities.  The SALC also serves as a way for Viking athletes to get to know student athletes from other MCCC sports teams.

The SALC meets monthly during the academic school year and discusses issues with Athletic Department staff.  The first SALC members were: baseball players Joe Gmitter (Hamilton, NJ/Steinert) and Slade Harrill (New Egypt, NJ/Allentown), softball players Maya Patel (Burlington, NJ/Burlington Township) and Makenna Spak (Hamilton, NJ/Steinert), men’s lacrosse players Liam Halloran (Yardley, PA/Pennsbury) and Braden Travaglini (Berlin, NJ/Eastern Regional), men’s soccer players Dillon Du Toit (Johannesburg, South Africa/Waterstone College), Omolemo Matla (Vereeniging, South Africa/Waterstone College) and Erik Carchipulla (Hightstown, NJ/Hightstown HS) and men’s tennis players Jack Wolfarth (Ewing, NJ/Ewing HS) and Joseph Wong (Lawrence, NJ/Lawrence HS).

If interested in joining the SALC for the 2024-25 academic year or would like more information on Mercer’s SALC, please contact Athletic Director Eric Grundman at grundmane@mccc.edu
