It is a huge honor to share with all our Husky Family that Ben Bloom was named by the Naseeruddin-Natalie Award Committee as one of the three finalist for this season’s award.
And although the final decision was revealed on May 8th in favor of UIC’s finalist James Marden, we are very honored that the committee has considered one of our own as candidate for this prestigious award for the 2nd time in a row.
With
the formation of the GymACT conference in 2018, an outstanding Senior
GymACT Gymnast trophy is able to be awarded. This trophy is on par with
NCAA gymnastics’ highest honor, the Nissen-Emery Award, which has been
presented annually to the outstanding Senior NCAA Collegiate Gymnast
since 1966.
The
Naseeruddin-Natalie Award, also called the N2 Award, would not only
honor the GymACT senior gymnast who has established an outstanding
record of athletic achievement during his college career; it would
recognize sportsmanship, community service, leadership or overcoming
adversity while maintaining outstanding performance. More than simply
an award for gymnastics excellence, the winner must also meet these
requirements:
- He must be an example of good sportsmanship and fair play…a champion in defeat as well as in victory.
- He should maintain a high standard of scholarship throughout his college career, with a minimum of a B average or 3.0 GPA
- He MAY have suffered adversity or personal tragedy which he has managed to overcome without impacting his athletic performance
- He MAY have served as a leader either within or outside of gymnastics
- He MAY have served as a champion of gymnastics, working within the community or with youth to keep the sport of gymnastics vibrant and vital, spurring grassroots growth.
Congratulations to James Marden (UIC) – N2 Award 2020 winner,
and to Nathan Tsuji (UW) – N2 Award 2019 winner
