SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State wrestler Lane Stigall is one of two recipients for the Pac-12 Conference's Leadership Awards, it was announced on Wednesday. Stigall is the eighth Oregon State student-athlete to receive the honor since it was first awarded in 2002.
Â
The Pac-12 Conference established the Pac-12 Leadership Award to recognize student-athletes who have served on their institutional Student-Athlete Advisory Committees (SAAC) and demonstrated leadership. This Pac-12 Leadership Award is a $3,000 scholarship for postgraduate study awarded to one male and one female student-athlete each year.
Â
The Pac-12 Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, which is composed of representatives from each member institution, selects the winners of the award each year from nominations submitted by each campus SAAC.
Â
Stigall, who graduated from Oregon State in March with a 3.96 GPA and his bachelor's degree in biological sciences, has been involved in leadership capacities with OSU's SAAC and Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) since arriving in Corvallis as a transfer from Missouri in 2019.
Â
An official member of the Pac-12's governance structure as a SALT representative, Stigall worked to create, present, and adopt policy recommendations to help enhance the student-athlete experience across the league. He created proposals for legislation dealing with graduate school preparation, academic freedom and transparency, and social justice.
Â
A volunteer youth wrestling coach for the past six years, Stigall also volunteered his time throughout the past year as an online crisis counselor.
Â
He scored a 519 on the MCAT last fall, the highest-ever score for an Oregon State student-athlete and has secured a full-time internship with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), a top public research university dedicated to health sciences containing two major hospitals in Portland. Stigall will work at OHSU while applying to medical school.
Â
To be eligible for the award, nominees must have completed or be in their final season of athletics eligibility, be enrolled in or plan to attend graduate school, have been a letter winner in a varsity sport, and have served a minimum of one year on the campus SAAC. Other factors which may be taken into account during the selection process include other leadership activities, community service, grade-point average, service as a SAAC officer, and level of athletic achievement.
