MM 2.24: No. 4 Maryland lacrosse’s Jared Bernhardt named Senior CLASS Award candidate

No. 4 Maryland men’s lacrosse senior attackman Jared Bernhardt was one of 20 student athletes chosen as a candidate for the 2020 Senior CLASS Award, the committee announced Friday.

The award is given to any NCAA Division I senior that has achievements in their community, classroom, character and competition.

The 2019 Tewaaraton finalist is the only Terp on the list and one of four players from the Big Ten, including Rutgers’ Kieran Mullins and Penn State’s Grant Ament and Colby Kneese.

Bernhardt is a three-time USILA All-American and finished his junior season with 51 goals — the second-most in a season in program history — and 78 points, which is sixth-most in a single season. Through four games this season, the Longwood, Florida, native is tied with fellow attackman Logan Wisnauskas for a team-high 14 goals.

The list will be cut in half later in the season, which will allow media, coaches and fans to vote for the candidates, and then a winner will be announced in coordination with the 2020 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse National Championship in May.
