Congratulations to Elizabeth “Libby” Bedwell of Harper’s Volleyball team, who today was honored as the NJCAA Leaders for Life Student-Athlete of the Week (February 3, 2010). Libby is the first athlete in the history of Harper College to be selected for this award!
“We’ve had 10 All-Americans in the last 8 years, and 6 NJCAA Volleyball Players of the Week since 2002,” says Head Coach Bob Vilsoet, “but this is the first time a volleyball player at Harper College earned this prestigious honor! Nice”
Libby was recognized for her accomplishments on the court, in the classroom and in the community.
According to the NJCAA, the Leadership for Life Program is “based upon the concept that two-year college athletics at its best can provide training and development for coaches and athletes to reach their potential as leaders, academicians, good citizens and great athletes.”
