First Recipients of Plymouth State Brad Wilby Awards Announced

Plymouth State University has established the Brad Wilby Awards to recognize a male and a female student-athlete who demonstrate leadership, strength of character and service to others, both on and off the field. Bios for Katie Randall and Gareth Stephens were taken from Plymouth State's website.

Katie Randall

Nominated by head field hockey coach Bonnie Lord:  "Katie was the starting goalkeeper for PSU for four years. She served as a captain of the 2007 team and helped lead the team to the LEC and ECAC semifinals. Katie is respected by her teammates for her work ethic, her determination, and her passion for the game. She leads with confidence and compassion and has improved tremendously on her communication skills.

Gareth Stephens

Nominated by head men's soccer coach Rob Wright:  "Gareth is a perfect candidate for an award that honors Brad.  Like Brad, he has been a two-year captain of the men's soccer team, but in addition will complete his third year this coming fall.  On the field, Gaz lead's by example both in work rate and passion. In a difficult 2007 season, he had to play the entire year in an unfamiliar position while still remaining positive and leading a young team through difficult times.

Game Day 2008 a Big Success

A big "Thank You!" to all the participants in the first annual BWMF game day. Despite the hot temperatures, the game played Saturday, June 7, had a significant turnout of roughly 60 people. We appreciated the participation of each of the local and out-of-state athletes who came to play, all of whom made for an interesting and enjoyable match and demonstrated the foundation's ideal of "Passion for Sport, Compassion for Others".

The BWMF Game Day will be an annual event held the first Saturday of June each year, so be sure to mark your calendars now (and start getting yourself in shape!) for next year's game to be held on Saturday, June 6, 2009.
