Bobby Miskura Named Landmark Baseball Senior Scholar Athlete
TOWSON, Md. – Drew University's Bobby Miskura has been selected as the Landmark Baseball Senior Scholar Athlete for the 2016 season.
Miskura becomes the seventh Drew student-athlete since the conference's inception in 2007 to receive the prestigious distinction, and first since Jeramie Barletta earned the softball award in 2013.
Miskura served as the team captain in 2016 and ranks second in Drew baseball history with a .989 fielding percentage. The senior first baseman ended the 2016 season with 11 doubles and 21 RBI. He was one of the toughest hitters to strike out in all of NCAA Division III this year, ranking 16th in the nation with just five strikeouts in 150 at-bats. Miskura is a career .300 hitter with 51 RBI, and has only committed 10 errors in his four years in a Ranger uniform.
Off the field, Miskura maintains a strong 3.73 grade-point average while majoring in business studies. He earned a spot on the Landmark Honor Roll in each eligible semester, is a member of the Drew Business and Economics Society, and has been awarded the Larry Horner Leadership Award.
Miskura has additionally participated in several on and off campus activities. He served as a microeconomics tutor, is involved in The FUND, which is a Drew student investment club, and served as the business manager at The Acorn, Drew's student newspaper. He was recently accepted to Drew's master's program for the fall of 2016 semester, where he will pursue his MBA and serve as the Rangers' graduate assistant coach.
The Landmark Conference selects 20 senior scholar athletes each year to recognize the top student-athlete in each sport based on academics and athletics.
The honorees must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.20 and are selected by a committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletics directors, and sports information directors. Chosen at the end of each sport season, the eight spring honorees will be announced between May 19-25.
