CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina right-hander Adam Warren was among 30 NCAA baseball student-athletes who excel both on and off the diamond tabbed as 2009 candidates for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award Tuesday. 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: Classroom, Character, Community, 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 those leaders to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact on their circle of influence.
Warren, who is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in four starts this season, is 25-2 over his four-year career. He is just the sixth pitcher in Tar Heel history to reach the 25-win mark, and his .926 career winning percentage is tops in school history. Also an excellent student, Warren is a two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III pick and a three-time ACC Academic Honor Roll selection.
The New Bern, N.C., native has been a key participant in the Carolina Leadership Academy and is an active member of the community.
Lowe's, an official Corporate Partner of the NCAA, expanded the award program in 2007 to include numerous NCAA® Division I sports - men's and women's soccer, men's ice hockey, men's lacrosse, baseball, and softball in addition to men and women's basketball. With the addition of football this year, the number of sports encompassed by the nation's premier award for seniors reaches nine.
