Pioneers captain award candidate
University of Denver senior captain Michael Perry was among 60 NCAA men’s and women’s soccer student-athletes, who excel both on and off the field, and were tabbed as candidates Wednesday for the 2010 Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – classroom, character, community and competition. The complete list of candidates follows this release.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
“The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award is a great honor because it represents the student-athlete as the overall person from the soccer field to the classroom to the community at large,” Denver head coach Bobby Muuss said. “Being among this elite group of student-athletes is certainly an honor for Michael and Denver soccer.”
Lowe’s, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, will announce the Senior CLASS Award winners during the 2010 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Cup championships in early December.
Each of the 30 candidate classes will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot.
Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplify excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
