Michael Carvelli – Sports Editor

Michael is entering his second year as The Daily Athenaeum’s Sports Editor. He is in his second year as a member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Football Writers Association of America, and this will be his third season as a West Virginia men’s basketball and football beat writer for The Daily Athenaeum.

The Clarksburg, W.Va. native was a 2009 graduate of Robert C. Byrd High School and is a senior in the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism, where he is majoring in Print Journalism with a minor in Sports Communications.

While in high school, Carvelli was the member of the wonderfully mediocre Robert C. Byrd baseball team for four seasons, where he led Harrison County in saves his senior year, and played for the RCB golf team as a senior. His subpar athletic ability is what led him to quit playing sports and start writing about them.

In addition to his football and men’s basketball coverage, Carvelli has covered the women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, baseball and tennis teams during his time at The Daily Athenaeum. He has gotten to cover the Mountaineers’ historic victory in the 2012 Discover Orange Bowl, the 2012 Big East Conference men’s basketball tournament, West Virginia’s move to the Big 12 Conference and the coaching changes that have taken place over the last few years with the WVU football, baseball and gymnastics teams.

He has also contributed to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and The Associated Press, and serves as a Sports Correspondent for the Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram where he covers Harrison County high school sports (but mostly Babe Ruth all-star tournaments).
