Now in its 77th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Over those previous 76 years the League has inspired student-athletes to realize their academic aspirations, maximize their athletics potential, and cultivate their leadership skills to prepare them for life beyond their collegiate experience.
As part of a partnership with
Jostens, each week through the academic year, we will honor an OVC student-athlete who has excelled in the classroom, in addition to earning accolades on the playing surface.
This week's honoree is UT Martin senior rifle athlete
Jesse Chamberlain. Last year he was named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll for his work in the classroom. This season he has a high score of 573 in smallbore and 579 in air rifle, which each came agianst Jacksonville State. Both were also career-highs for the senior.
