Lawrence's Jablonski earns LeClere Award

Appleton - Lawrence University track and field standout Stan Jablonski has won the 2011 Roy W. LeClere Award.

The LeClere Award is presented each year by the Midwest Conference to a two-sport athlete in the league who has the highest grade point average during their junior year.

A biology/pre-medicine major, Jablonski, a River Hills resident, and a Brookfield Academy graduate, had a perfect 4.0 grade point average as a junior.

The female honor, the Ruth Peterson Award, went to Emily Schudrowitz of Wauwatosa who attends St. Norbert College.

Jablonski is a thrower for both the indoor and outdoor track and field teams at Lawrence and is a six-time letter winner. Jablonski has won the maximum number of Academic All-Midwest Conference awards and has been on the Dean's List at Lawrence all three years. The LeClere Award is named in honor of Roy W. LeClere, a collegiate sports enthusiast.

LeClere's passion for Midwest Conference sports led friends and co-workers to sponsor the award in his honor after his death.
