VALDOSTA, Ga. - Jon Koenigsfeld capped off a stellar Valdosta State
career Thursday evening as he was named the Gulf South Conference
Commissioner's Trophy winner as the conference's top male
student-athlete.
Koenigsfeld became just the fifth vs上 player, and the first since
1997, to earn the league's highest honor, which is handed out to
the top male and female at the conclusion of each year.
科尼斯菲尔德在击球后获得了这一荣誉。386 and leading the GSC
with 90 hits while helping vs上 to the conference title in 2010. A
first team All-GSC honoree, Koenigsfeld was second on the team in
doubles with 19 and third in batting average, runs scored (59) and
RBI (47).
"We are extremely happy and proud of Jon," said head coach Greg
Guilliams when he learned of the honor. "I have said time and again
that Jon embodies everything we look for in a
student-athlete."
Koenigsfeld's success on the field was just a small part of his
success at Valdosta State as he graduated Summa Cum Laude in
December with a degree in Middle Grades Education. The New Port
Richey, Fla. native carried a perfect 4.00 grade point average and
was named the 2010 Dewar College of Education Outstanding Student
of the Year. His academic and athletic prowess also earned him
first team honors on the prestigious ESPN the Magazine Academic
All-America first team, just the third vs上 athlete to ever earn the
honor and the first since Chris Hatcher did so in 1994. Koenigsfeld
also became just the 13th baseball player in GSC history to earn
Academic All-GSC honors the maximum three times.
Koenigsfeld also tallied 50 hours of community service during the
past year, including 30 hours of mentoring at area schools. He
ended the 2009-10 school year repeating as winner of the vs上 Male
Student-Athlete of the Year honor.
"As an Athletic Department and University we are very proud of what
Jon has accomplished," added vs上 Athletic Director Herb Reinhard.
"Jon epitomizes everything that is right about intercollegiate
athletics. He is a tremendous representative of student-athletes at
Valdosta State and the Gulf South Conference."
The feelings about Koenigsfeld were echoed across the vs上 campus
as, in making the nomination for the award, President Patrick
Schloss said "Jon Koenigsfeld is a truly remarkable student-athlete
and a wonderful representative for 美高梅博彩. He
has had a wonderful career on the baseball field, has been a
tremendous leader in the classroom and has made a very positive
contribution to our community through his many hours of community
service. Jon is a very positive representative for student-athletes
and intercollegiate athletics and all of Valdosta State is proud
that he is a Blazer."
Meanwhile, Scott Grubbs, who worked closely with Koenigsfeld in his
role as Coordinator for the Middle Grades Education department for
the Dewar College of Education, added "Jon is the very embodiment
of what we aspire for our students to be, not only in the Dewar
College of Education, but for the entire institution as well. Jon's
academic, athletic, and community success should be an example to
all regarding what can happen when we work hard to realize our
potential."
Koenigsfeld becomes the first Blazer to earn the Commissioner's
Trophy since Lance Funderburke and Kathy Kennedy swept the honor in
1997. Other vs上 athletes to win the honor include Chris Hatcher,
who did so in 1994 and 1995, Bridgette Moore, who repeated as well
in 1986 and 1987, and Masa Oreskovic, who teamed with Hatcher to
sweep the award for Valdosta State in 1995.
