Dickenson named as Lowe’s CLASS Award candidate

Senior Charley Dickenson was one of 20 lacrosse players selected as a candidate for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award.

The pool consists of 20 student-athletes who attempt to make a difference in their classroom, their communities and on the field of competition.

To be nominated an athlete needs to have notable achievements in four areas of excellence, which include classroom, competition character and community.

In 2009, Dickenson led the Pioneers with 36 points.

His 1.57 assists per game average ranked him 16th in the nation.

With 22 assists last season, Dickenson is now ranked sixth on DU’s all-time single-season list.
