DE PERE - St. Norbert College senior Austin Livingston has been named the 2015-16 Roy W. LeClere Award winner. The LeClere Award is presented to the Midwest Conference male student-athlete who posted the highest grade point averages during their junior years, while lettering in at least two sports.

LeClere was a collegiate sports enthusiast whose passion for the MWC led friends and co-workers to originally sponsor the award as a memorial in his honor. Livingston is the fourth Green Knight to win the LeClere Award. Livingston joins Andrew Winters (2006-07), Kevin Lannon (1996-97) and Jeff Zucchi (1988-89) as previous St. Norbert LeClere Award winners.

Livingston, an Appleton native and Kimberly High School graduate, was a first-team College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-American last spring and was named an All-Academic individual by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Livingston earned an All-American certificate as a part of the Green Knights' 4x400-meter relay team which finished sixth at the NCAA Division III Indoor National Championship. At outdoor nationals, Livingston and the St. Norbert 4x400-meter relay team finished fourth, to earn another All-America accolade.
