Jack Kelly Named 2016 Senior CLASS Candidate
2/17/2016 12:00:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Twenty of the top NCAA® men's lacrosse student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected as candidates today for the 2016 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate lacrosse. Brown senior All-American goalie Jack Kelly (West Islip, NY) is among those selected as a candidate for the prestigious 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 backstop for Brown's talented defense, Kelly was a unanimous First Team All-Ivy selection and All-New England choice. He helped lead Brown to the 2015 Ivy League Championship and NCAA Playoff berth. Kelly led the Ivy League and ranked 11th nationally in saves per game (11.53), while his save percentage of .554 led the Ivy League and is 14th nationally.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School ®, the 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 20 candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists later in the 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 candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced in conjunction with the 2016 NCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championship in May.
