Big South member institutions nominate one male and one female undergraduate student-athlete for the annual Christenberry Award, or multiple student-athletes that tie for the highest GPA on their respective campus. The award is given to the male and female student-athlete who attain the highest GPA during their undergraduate collegiate careers. It is the seventh consecutive year at least eight student-athletes have been honored.

Putter (Pretoria, South Africa) was voted the Men鈥檚 Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the 2023 season, and is a three-time Men鈥檚 Tennis All-Academic Team honoree. A two-time Big South Player of the Week honoree during his time at 蜜桃传媒-Webb, Putter excelled in doubles competitions as he finished his career at 32-23 and 9-3 against league opponents pairing with six different teammates. In singles play, he collected 27 victories and made appearances at almost every flight during his career. His final win came in the semifinals of the Big South Tournament, pushing GWU to its first-ever finals appearance this past April.

The honor is named for George A. Christenberry, the former President of Augusta College (now Augusta University) and one of the founders of the Big South Conference.  A member of the Big South Hall of Fame, Christenberry served as the league鈥檚 first President from 1983-86.
