College Sports Communicators announced the initial winners of
the Fred Stabley Sr. Writing Contest, selecting
St. Edward's Athletics' story on Men's Soccer freshman Christian Mezas and his mother's fight against breast cancer as the CSC District 6 winner for top athlete profile.
CSC members in all eight districts submitted nearly 500 articles in seven categories, split into University and College divisions. This allows the recognition of the work done by members from smaller offices and those who work on NCAA Division I staffs.
