ORLANDO, Fla. -- Creighton University Athletics earned four awards of national recognition at the recently-completed College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Workshop held in Orlando, including three "Best in Nation" awards.

Of the 28 Division I universities and conference offices honored with at least one award, Creighton's three "Best in Nation" honors were tied for fifth-most in the country, trailing only Michigan State (5), Kentucky (4), West Virginia (4) and Virginia Tech (4).

Two of the honors went towards publications involving Creighton's men's soccer. For the second straight year, the men's soccer media guide was voted "Best in Nation" with the media guide cover also earning a similar honor. Assistant Sports Information Director Anthony Robinson and Assistant Director of Marketing-Multimedia & Design Chris Newhouse contributed on the men's soccer media guide.

Creighton's men's basketball game program also was recognized with "Best in Nation" acclaim for the second straight campaign, with Sports Information Director Robert Anderson, Director of Sales Tim Callahan and student worker Sarah Gaeta contributing on the piece.

In addition, Anderson's story on the return of Kyle Korver and Doug McDermott to Omaha for an NBA exhibition game last October, titled "Korver & McDermott Thrill Omaha During NBA Exhibition", was recognized in CoSIDA's Fred Stabley, Sr. Writing Contest for best event coverage in District 7.

The 2017 awards haul gives the Creighton Sports Information Office 16 awards and honors in the last 10 years for its excellence in publications, writing and overall service to the media.
