JESI
WILCOX OF CENTENARY
COLLEGE, a senior on the
women's volleyball team from Mobile, Ala., has been
selected the SCAC Character & Community Female
Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending November 25,
2012.
From the day Wilcox stepped onto the campus at
Centenary, she has shown her character on and off the court.
As the only senior student-athlete, her maturity was revealed on
numerous occasions during the ups and downs of the most recent
volleyball season. The fact that she stayed diligent in her
leadership duties is a true testament of her
character. Wilcox was able to be a leader in
the face of mounting frustration and set an exemplary example for
her younger teammates. On the court, she became just the third
player in Centenary history to crack the 500 dig plateau - notching
501 in her senior season. That total ranks third all time
in the Centenary record books and her 4.86 digs per set mark ranked
third in the SCAC this season.
Off the court, Wilcox is also a role model
in the community. As a steadfast advocate for the proper treatment
of animals, she is a constant presence in the Caddo Parrish Humane
Society caring for the animals in their facility. During her
limited free time, she has volunteered for the Martin Luther King,
Jr. service days and is active with “Up til dawn” to
help the St. Jude’s Research Hospital. A Communications
major, Wilcox has gained experience in
her future field by volunteering with the Addy Awards and with the
American Advertising Federation Convention.
Lastly, in a more recent
development, Wilcox has offered her
assistance to the Centenary Athletic Department to help fill the
void left with the recent departing of the
school's Sports Information Coordinator. She is currently
assisting with athletic department releases as well as the
day-to-day handling of statistics and website management.
