Rising senior selected as top male in the ACC
July 26, 2009
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Rising senior Thomas Sensing earned the 2008-09 ACC Male Sportsmanship Award, which is presented to the student-athlete who best exemplifies sportsmanship.
Sensing, along with Maggie Bernard of Clemson and the North Carolina fencing team, were selected from a group of institutional nominees, which were submitted by Student-Athlete Advisory Committees (SAACs) and their advisors at ACC schools. Winners were determined by a review of the overall ACC SAAC. Each campus has recognized its individual and team nominees.
To be considered, nominees must have demonstrated consistently good sportsmanship and ethical behavior in his/her daily participation in intercollegiate athletics. The student-athlete must have also demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting and be of good academic standing.
Sensing had a tremendous outdoor season, earning a trip to his first NCAA Championships. He also set the school-record in the javelin with a toss of 222-10 en route to a second-place finish at the ACC Championships.
He qualified for his first NCAA Regionals in the javelin, discus and shot put and with his fifth-place finish in the javelin, he qualified for the NCAA Championships.

Exemplary, but what is his GPA, and major(s)? That is, after all, why he is in college. To borrow from the Red Baron, "Eveything else is rubbish!"
And just exactly why is that any of your business?
Don,
Congratulations on your son's achievements! Is this the same son who served in the Marines?
No, my Marine son was my first son, who is now enrolled full time at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn. Thanks.
