Clyde Lamb Awards
The Clyde
A. Lamb Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented annually to a single male
and a single female from each institution. The award winners are honored
at the OAC Spring Awards Banquet. Prior to this year, a committee of
athletics directors and faculty representatives selected a male and
female from the 20 student-athletes to be awarded Clyde A. Lamb Scholarships
after the banquet.
Criteria for
the award includes at least two years participation in an OAC-sponsored
sport, senior status, a minimum grade point average of 3.00 and sportsmanlike
conduct in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete and
his or her institution.
The award
was founded in 1985 and is named in honor of Clyde A. Lamb. Lamb organized
the department of health and physical education at Ohio Northern University
in 1929, and served as a coach, department chairman and athletics director
at ONU from 1929-64. He continued to teach full-time until his death
in 1969.
Lamb, who received
his bachelor’s degree from Coe College in 1923 and a master’s
degree from Columbia University in 1929, coached numerous sports at
Ohio Northern during his tenure. In 1959, he was elected to the NAIA
Helms Hall of Fame. He was honored as Ada’s Distinguished Citizen
in 1956 and was inducted into Ohio Northern’s Athletic Hall of
Fame in 1969.
