Calvin College senior Lisa Winkle has received the highest honor in Division III women's basketball as she has been named the winner of the prestigious 2007 Jostens Trophy.
The Jostens Trophy is a national award created by the Rotary Club of Salem, Va., to honor the most outstanding men and women’s student-athletes in Division III basketball. The award takes into account three vital parts: basketball ability, academic prowess and community service.
"This is a tremendous honor for Lisa and for Calvin College," said Calvin women's basketball coach John Ross. "She has been such a big part of our women's basketball program over the last four years and I am thrilled to see her recognized like this. She is well-respected by her teammates and fellow Calvin classmates so I know that this is a thrill for them as well."
A native of Grand Rapids and a graduate of Grand Rapids South Christian High School, Winkle has been a stalwart for the Calvin women's basketball team over the last four years, averaging 14.7 points and 8.8 rebounds a game over the course of her career.
A four-time first team All-MIAA selection, Winkle was named the MIAA's MVP for the second straight year this past month. Winkle is the only four-time first team all-conference selection in MIAA women’s basketball history.
In the classroom, Winkle carries a 3.966 grade point average while majoring in mathematics and secondary education. She has been a three-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District selection and was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America second team last year and to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America first this year. She has already accepted a position as a math teacher at South Christian High School for next fall.
Winkle has also been heavily involved in community service work while at Calvin. As a Calvin student, she has served as a volunteer tutor in both the Wyoming Godfrey Lee and Grand Rapids Public School systems. She has also served as a volunteer boys basketball coach on Saturday mornings in the Ada Christian Elementary School Pure Play program and served as a Sunday school teacher at Hillside Community Church.Calvin College senior Lisa Winkle has received the highest honor in Division III women's basketball as she has been named the winner of the ...all »Calvin College senior Lisa Winkle has received the highest honor in Division III women's basketball as she has been named the winner of the prestigious 2007 Jostens Trophy.
