Cardinal Athlete Tom Weidman Wins
the WVIAC Heart & Hustle Award
WHEELING, WV, Feb. 4, 2008 -
Wheeling Jesuit University Cardinal
pitcher and in-fielder Tom Weidman
of Morgantown, W.Va. was selected as
a recipient of the ball
Coaches Shannon Stewart Heart and
Hustle Award for 2008.
The son of Wheeling natives Al and
Mary Kay Weidman, Tom is a junior at
the university and majors in
chemistry. His future plans include
dental school. Grandparents are Al
and Josephine Weidman of Warwood and
Katie and Jack Fahey of Edgwood.
Coached by Wheeling Jesuit Assistant
Athletic Director Terry "Coach E"
Edwards, Weidman has earned the
respect of both his teammates and
coaches because he is not only a
talented player, he is a tenacious
one.
Weidman was struck with a
neurological disorder during his
sophomore year that meant he had to
undergo treatment and rest. It
seemed that the talented young
athlete was leaking spinal fluid, a
dangerous condition and a scary
situation for anyone.
"When you have a proven player faced
with adversity, two things can
happen," said Coach Edwards. "Either
the athlete feels sorry for himself
and thinks 'why me' or, he rises to
the challenge and meets it head-on."
"Once the doctors cleared him to
play, Tommy showed his leadership
and resiliency by continuing to play
as well as he could," he said. "He
gained the respect of the entire
conference."
A personable young man, Weidman
wears the Cardinal's number 5 jersey
and works as hard in the classroom
as he does on the field.
Weidman has played baseball since he
was about 5 years old and was
nominated by the WVIAC baseball
coaches whose criteria for this
annual award is not necessarily
performance or stats. Instead the
Heart and Hustle criteria is based
on integrity, character, leadership
and unselfishness - qualities that
define a good teammate.
"The irony is that, as a freshman,
Tommy was all-conference second team
and he is one of the better players
in the conference," said Coach
Edwards. "He was nominated because
of the adversity he faced as a
sophomore when the doctors
discovered his neurological
disorder. He also injured his knee
in spring training that year to
further complicate his health
problems."
Weidman is doing well now, though he
remains under the care of his
physician.
The Heart and Hustle Award is given
annually in memoriam to its'
namesake, Bluefield State College
freshman catcher Shannon R. Stewart,
who died in a traffic accident while
on a spring training trip in 1999.
An excellent student and athlete,
Stewart attended Pineville High
School in Pineville, W.Va.
The traveling baseball trophy is
displayed at the winners' school
every year and then passed on to the
next recipient each June.
Currently the Heart and Hustle
Memorial Trophy is on display at
Wheeling Jesuit's Alma Grace
McDonough Center, in the official
trophy cases where the public can
view it daily.
"Sometimes an athlete comes along
and 75 percent of him is as good or
better than 100 percent of someone
else," said Coach Edwards. "Tommy is
one of these athletes. We are very
proud of him."
The Cardinal baseball team starts
its third season with a Feb. 22 trip
to Fort Myers, Fla. for spring
training and will play in the Gene
Cusik Classic, opening with a 10
a.m. Feb. 24 game against St. Leo's
University.

Bruno, Dant Garner Women's Soccer A-A Honors
(SAN ANGELO, TX)---A pair of West Virginia Conference women's
soccer players have earned third team Daktronics All-America
honors. Davis & Elkins forward Cole Dant and Wheeling Jesuit
defender Laura Bruno were selected to the squad chosen by NCAA
Division II sports information directors.
Dant made an immediate impact during her first season at D&E with a
league-leading 29 goals. The Elkton, MD native was selected as the
WVIAC Freshman of the Year. Her efforts helped the Senators improve
to 11-9-2 overall as they captured a WVIAC playoff spot. Dant is
the lone rookie named to the top three squads on the Daktronics
All-America team.
Bruno helped Wheeling Jesuit post a 16-6 overall mark and the
Cardinals claimed the WVIAC Northern Division title. She tallied
four goals and added as many assists. The two-time All-WVIAC pick
also helped the WJU defense notch eight shutouts on the season. |

freshman season, Tina was a two sport athlete, participating on

junior season because of an internship in Pittsburgh. She is a
majoring in nuclear medicine, and plans on becoming a doctor.
-

WVIAC Men's Golf Championship Opens On Monday
WVIAC Staff
10/14/2007
(PRINCETON, W.VA)---Defending NCAA Division II East Region
champion Fairmont State is the top seed as play begins on Monday at the WVIAC
Men's Golf Championship. The Falcons have a pair of tournament titles so far
this fall, including a WVIAC record 20-under par effort at the WVIAC Central
Regional.
Preseason favorite Ohio Valley, West Liberty State, Concord, and defending
champion Charleston hold down the second through fifth seeds. Charleston
captured last season's WVIAC championship in a playoff over Ohio Valley.
This season's conference tournament features a new venue and date. The
championship, which has traditionally been held in the spring at Cacapon State
Park, moves to the Stonewall Resort's Palmer Course. The 7,149 yard, par-72
layout is ranked 23rd among the nation's top 100 resort courses by Golfweek
