The Robert L. and William P. McCahill Award is presented annually to the Marquette senior athlete from the previous year who has demonstrated the highest performance in scholarship, leadership and athletics. It is awarded by the William J. McCahill, Sr., family in honor of Marine Captain Robert L. McCahill, a former standout Marquette football player who earned the bronze star and gave his life for his country on Iwo Jima during World War II and his brother, the late Marine Colonel William P McCahill., who starred on the MU track & field team, was a noted historian and author of three books, and served as the Executive Director of the President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped for 27 years.
