Jon Edgington, WHS '07, was recently named the winner of the Bob James Award.
Former Miami Baseball player Jon Edgington has been named the 2011 male recipient of the prestigous Bob James Memorial Award by the Mid-American Conference Faculty Athletics Representatives, the league office announced today.
In its 22nd year, the Bob James Memorial Award recognizes one female and one male student-athlete who have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.5, and have displayed good character, leadership and citizenship. The student-athletes are nominated during the year in which they complete their final season of eligibility. The $5,000 post-graduate scholarship is awarded in honor Bob James, the second commissioner in Mid-American Conference history (1964-71).
Edgington graduated cum laude from Miami with a Bachelor of Arts & Science Degree in Microbiology and a minor in Chemistry of Life Processes Concentration and a 3.73 GPA. Edgington was a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District IV Second Team selection in 2011 and was a member of the Miami's Dean's List in 2008-10.
Edgington finished his career ranked fifth at Miami in career runs scored (166), seventh in career at bats (729) and tenth in career stolen bases (52). During his career, Edgington started 200 games and made 207 career appearances. Edgington hit above .300 each of his final two seasons (.311 in 2011 and .307 in 2010) and was a two-time team captain as a junior and senior. Edgington twice earned the team's Golden Glove Award in 2009 and 2010 and twice earned the team's RedHawk Award, given to the student-athlete who demonstrates excellence in athletics and academics while having an active role in the community.
A native of Wyoming, Ohio, Edgington will attend medical school at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine this fall.
