Overland Park, Kan. -- Creighton women's soccer senior Taryn Jakubowski was one of 30 student-athletes named a candidate for the 2019 Senior Class Award on Monday, Sept. 23.
During the spring of 2019, Taryn Jakubowski posted a 4.0 GPA to raise her cumulative mark to 3.81 over her first three years at Creighton. She also posted a 3.89 during her competition season in the fall of 2018.
Jakubowski was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection following the 2018 season and was a unanimous choice for the 2019 preseason honor. She led Creighton in points and goals scored in each of her last two seasons.
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 complete list of candidates follows this release.
Â
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.Â
Each of the two candidate classes will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular 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 male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
Â
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2019 NCAA Men's and Women's College Cup® championships in December.
