The winner is selected by the Athletics Department Awards Committee from nominations submitted by a Lehigh Intercollegiate team with the head coach’s approval. 2007-08 Finalists: (Winner in bold) Clark Cohen (Swimming and Diving) - The President of the Student Senate, Clark Cohen did more than just earn a berth to the NCAA Zone Diving meet this past year; he coached the entire diving program because the program was without one. The recipient of this year’s Student Senate Leadership Award and the class of 1904 scholarship award last year, Clark served as captain of the diving program and is described as a great communicator and motivator. In the pool, Cohen earned a 2007 All-Patriot League selection, and throughout his career has been named the Patriot League and ECAC Diver of the Week on numerous occassions.

Greg Furst (Lacrosse) – Greg Furst has been described as the glue that holds his team together. A surprise coaching change during last summer forced Furst to help his teammates through what could have been a diffi cult transition, and Greg was able to do just that by fi nding the perfect balance of vocal leadership and leading by example. Through Furst’s tireless commu- nity service iniatives, the lacrosse program earned Lehigh University’s fi rst-ever Community Service Award. Greg has been involved in Lehigh’s C.O.A.C.H. program since 2005 and is also a teacher’s assistant at nearby Broughal Middle School.

Bryan White (Basketball) - As the lone senior on this year’s men’s basketball team, Bryan White was asked to take on an even greater amount of responsibility than usual and he exceeded everyone’s expectations with the job he did. A team captain, White was forced to deal with a coaching change during the off-season and is credited for holding his younger teammates together all season long. White is involved in the National Society of Black Engineers, the Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes and Lehigh’s award-winning C.O.A.C.H. program. On the court, Bryan had his best season ever in 2007-08, leading the Patriot League in rebounding and averaging over ten points per game.
