RETURN TO COMPLETE DEPARTMENT AWARDS PAGE
Awarded to the Middlebury athlete who inspires teammates with the selflessness, enthusiasm, and team spirit demonstrated by Murphy Roberts '17.
Roberts was a rising senior at Middlebury and member of the alpine ski team prior to his untimely death after a hiking accident in the summer of 2016. His passion for Middlebury and his fellow teammates could only be outdone by his love for his family and his hometown of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In the spring of 2017, the ski team coaches and captains awarded Roberts its Bubba Kenney Award.
