Each year, the Sun chooses the top athletes from each class. Below are the 15 best sophomores as selected by the members of the Sun's sports department. On Friday, the Sun will reveal its choice for Athlete of the Year.

Colin Greening - Men's Hockey
Throughout the 2007-08 season, Greening brought scoring magic to the men's hockey team. In a victory over Dartmouth Feb. 29, he notched the Red's first hat trick since Matt Moulson's in 2005. The Newfoundland native and Ottawa Senators draft pick finished the year with his goal tally in fifth place in the ECAC, and he led the team with 33 points and 14 goals, as well as 19 assists. An All-Ivy second-teamer, Greening also took on the added responsibility of being a co-alternate captain with senior Doug Krantz. Greening's leadership was especially evident in his teaming with freshmen Riley Nash and Patrick Kennedy for one of the Red's top lines.

Ben Scrivens - Men's Hockey
Scrivens won the starting spot in goal this year and posted a .930 save percentage, good for second in the ECAC behind Harvard's Kyle Richter. With an aggressive style, Scrivens tallied four shutout victories, one of which was in conference play, on the way to All-Ivy honorable mention honors. In the Red's ECAC playoff quarterfinals matchup with Union March 15, Scrivens's career playoff-high 41 saves helped Cornell to a 3-2 win, which secured the team a spot in the semifinals.
