ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell men's hockey forward Colin Greening has
been selected as a candidate for the 2010 Lowe's Senior CLASS
Award, announced Wednesday. Greening is among 20 national
candidates for the award, which focuses on four areas of excellence
- character, classroom, community and competition.
From the initial list of 20 candidates released today, a national
media committee will select 10 finalists for the award in late
January. Those 10 names will then be placed on the official ballot
for a nationwide vote running from Feb. 5 through March 19. Fan
balloting will be combined with votes from coaches and media to
determine the winner, which will be announced in early April.
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.
Greening, a seventh-round draft pick of the Ottawa Senators in the
2005 NHL Draft, was named an ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Second-Team
Academic All-America following his junior season in which he
finished second on the Big Red in scoring. After serving as
co-captain last season, he will be Cornell's lone captain this
season as the Big Red tries for its 12th ECAC Hockey
championship.
