University of Wisconsin senior quarterback Joel Stave and senior thrower Kelsey Card were honored on Monday with the Big Ten Conference Medal of Honor, considered the conference's most prestigious award.
The Medal of Honor is given annually at each school in the Big Ten to a male and female graduating senior for excellence in academics and athletics.
“I want to congratulate Joel and Kelsey on this tremendous honor,” UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez said. “We strive for success in the classroom and in the field of play and these two exemplify that. Joel and Kelsey have made great contributions to our program throughout their careers and have put themselves in a position to be successful no matter what their future holds.
