OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - Ole Miss point guard Chris Warren has been named one of 30 men's basketball candidates for the 2011 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
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.
An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Lowe's 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.
Warren enters his senior campaign with a chance to break several school records, including most 3-pointers in a career. He is already 15th all-time in scoring at Ole Miss with 1,372 career points. A preseason All-SEC first team selection, he has also been active in the Oxford community and solid in the classroom during his time in college.
Lowe's, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, will announce the men's basketball Senior CLASS Award® winner at the NCAA Men's Final Four® in Houston.
The candidate class will be narrowed to 10 men's finalists midway through the regular season, and those 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 finalist who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
"The young men and women who have been selected as candidates for the basketball award are shining examples of student-athletes who exercise time management every day, juggling class work and community service with practice and games," said Tom Lamb, Lowe's senior vice president of marketing. "The ability to balance things that are important to them will be a skill they will use throughout their lives."
