INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Cleveland State University men’s swimmer Jackson Nester and Green Bay women’s basketball player Maddy Schreiber have been selected as the Horizon League Winter Scholar-Athletes of the Season, the league office announced on Thursday.
Nester, a senior, received his first Scholar-Athlete of the Season award after winning his fourth straight 400-yard IM Horizon League Championship. In each of the years, Nester registered school record times in the championship races. Also at this year’s championships, he placed third twice. For his career, he scored in all 12 individual races at the championships.
In the classroom, Nester holds a 3.86 GPA in mechanical engineering technology. The Blacksburg, Virginia, native has been named All-Academic in each of the last three seasons. He has also been named to the Dean’s List five times and the President’s List twice.
The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes at the conclusion of each of its three athletic seasons as the Scholar-Athlete of the Season. To be eligible for Scholar-Athlete of the Season consideration, a student-athlete must be a member of that sport’s current year all-academic team and is selected based on a combination of athletic and academic achievement by the League’s faculty athletics representatives.
