SEATTLE – The PBA has announced Jack Jurek of Lackawanna, N.Y., has won the Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award for the second time.
Jurek, who also won the Steve Nagy Sportsmanship Award in 2006, also was an overwhelming choice. His most visible act of sportsmanship came during the title match of the Bayer USBC Masters where he was top qualifier, and was on the verge of losing to first-time champion Tom Hess of Urbandale, Iowa. Jurek approached Hess, who had broken down in tears under the emotion of his victory, and helped him calm down enough to finish the match.
*The 2002 awards where based on the 2001-02 season, marking a transition from caledar-year to seasonal.
