GREENVILLE, S.C. – Dominic Nutter of the University of Mount Olive has been selected as the Conference Carolinas Male Athlete of the Year for the 2024-25 academic year.

Nutter had a great outdoor track & field season for Mount Olive. He was the Conference Carolinas Outdoor Track & Field Championships hammer throw champion as he qualified for the NCAA Division II Track & Field Championships. He finished seventh at the national championships to earn first team All-America honors.

“I am more than grateful for the opportunity to be selected as the Conference Carolinas Male Athlete of the Year,” Nutter said. “It is a testament to the amazing work my friends, family, and coaches have been able to put forward to help me succeed at the highest level and with the highest honors. Go Trojans!”

At the Conference Carolinas Outdoor Track & Field Championships, he set a personal record in the discus, finishing fifth. Nutter was selected Conference Carolinas Field Athlete of the Week twice throughout the season.

“It has been awesome working with Dom and helping him on his journey to being an All-American, again,” said Mount Olive track & field associate head coach Justin Potter. “Dom came here with bigger goals in our work than just nationals and we are already seeing the fruits of that labor with a trip to Germany and the World University Games in a couple weeks! There is much more to come from this thrower from the O-H!!”

The Athlete of the Year Award (one male and one female each year) is the most outstanding student-athlete for the year in the league. Per Conference Carolinas Directors of Athletics vote, nominations will be accepted from member institutions to only include conference-sponsored sports and all nomination information, statistics and accomplishments are solely based on athletically-related criteria.
