Raterman on final
list for Lowe’s Award
Submitted
Twenty NCAA® men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes who excel
both on and off the court were selected as finalists today for the
2011-12 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 – community,
classroom, character and competition. The complete list of finalists
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 finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 60
candidates announced in November. Nationwide fan voting begins
immediately to determine the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote on
either the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award website or the Lowe’s Senior CLASS
Award Facebook fan page through March 18. Fan votes will be combined
with media and Division I men’s and women’s basketball head coaches’
votes to determine the winner.
Lowe’s, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, will announce the
men’s Senior CLASS Award® winner during the 2012 NCAA Men’s Final
Four®, which will be held March 31 and April 2 in New Orleans. The
women’s award winner will be announced during the NCAA Women’s Final
Four®, which will be held April 1 and 3 in Denver.
