Kirlew named finalist for sportsmanship award
From IU media relations:
Indiana senior defensive end Jammie Kirlew is one of 10 finalists for the fifth annual Awards and Recognition Association (ARA) annual sportsmanship award, given to one outstanding NCAA Bowl Division collegiate football player who best personifies the spirit of sportsmanship…
…Kirlew has embraced the student-athlete experience in his time at IU. A three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, Kirlew has given much of his free time to the community. He is active in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program and has volunteered his time at the Bloomington Boys & Girls Club.
Additionally, he volunteered for President Barack Obama’s campaign, helping to register voters for the 2008 Presidential Election. The Orlando, Fla., native also took advantage of Indiana’s study abroad program, spending the summer of 2006 in Italy.
The 2009 Sportsmanship Award recipient will be chosen from one of these 10 finalists and announced this December. Finalists are represented from a variety of schools of all sizes throughout the United States from West Virginia and Kansas to Indiana and Illinois…
Nathan Hart has been with the IDS since Fall 2007. His previous beats include the Little 500, field hockey, men's tennis, women's swimming, and the club ice hockey team.
