University of Montana Mints Another Collegiate Sportswriter of the Year
For the third year in a row, a student at the University of Montana—Missoula has been named one of the country’s top collegiate sportswriters by the Jim Murray Memorial Foundation. The organization is run by Linda McCoy-Murray, widow of the Pulitzer Prize winning LA Times columnist.
This year’s U of M honoree is Daniel Mediate (pictured), and with such a last name, it was perhaps preordained that the undergrad would gravitate to journalism. He got the call last week notifying him of the honor and $5,000 prize.
This fall, Mediate will become sports editor at the Montana Kaimin, a campus newspaper founded in 1898.
