Birmingham, AL — The Gulf South Conference announced its 14th annual GSC “Top Ten” Award winners on Thursday and UAH junior runner Josh Moshier was among the honorees. These awards, based on athletic, academic and extracurricular achievement during the 2009-10 academic year, recognize the top five male and top five female student-athletes as the cream of the GSC crop. The top male and female receive the Commissioner’s Trophy, the Conference’s most prestigious honor. The presentations were made at the GSC’s Annual Awards Banquet at the Embassy Suites in Hoover, Alabama on Thursday.
The “Top Ten” are selected with the assistance of an advisory committee representing the Athletics Directors, Senior Woman Administrators, SportIDs, FARs and Presidents from randomly selected GSC schools, which makes a recommendation to the Commissioner, who has the final decision. Ties are not broken, so more than ten student-athletes can be honored.
Moshier marks UAH’s third overall men’s winner, and second cross country honoree in three years. In 2009, he was All-South Region and first team All-GSC. In addition, Moshier was a member of the Fall Academic All-GSC team.
Joining Moshier on the men's Top Ten list were Brandon Friedel (Arkansas Tech, Basketball, Victoria, Tex.), Jon Koenigsfeld (Valdosta State, Baseball, New Port Richey, Fla.), Brett Munson (North Alabama, Golf, Louisville, Kent.), Hayden Simpson (Southern Arkansas, Baseball, Magnolia, Ark.).
The “Top Ten” women’s field included Courtney Jones (West Florida, Soccer, Panama City, Fla.) and Bethany Wright (Henderson State, Volleyball, Georgetown, Tex.), Katy Grant (Harding, Cross Country, Mustang, Okla.), Natali Gumbrecht (Valdosta State, Tennis, Sachsen bei Ansbach, Germany), Becca Tipton (Arkansas-Monticello, Softball, Dermott, Ark.).
In addition to the individual honors, the Conference recognized its All-Sports Trophy Champions (men: Valdosta State; women: West Florida) and bid farewell to departing administrator, Henderson State University Athletic Director Sam Goodwin.
