Which of the following performances is worthy of the Crons Achiever Award for January?

Crons sponsors the monthly "Achiever Award," which is presented to the school recognized by a fan vote for the most notable achievement from the month prior. Below are the descriptions of each submission, along with the poll in the right-hand sidebar.

Joane Pierre – Jacksonville Women’s Indoor Track & Field
Pierre was undefeated in individual races for the month (3 wins). She won the mile at the Florida Gator Invitational by over 10 seconds (4:57.46), the claimed the mile in a school-record time of 4:50.76 at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational. Not only did she win the mile, but returned minutes after the conclusion of that race to lead wire-to-wire to win the 800 meters at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational (2:13.41).

Pierre was also part of a 4X400 relay team that finished second at the Florida Gator Invitational (3:50.67).


Sherwood Brown – FGCU Men’s Basketball
To say January was a career month for FGCU men’s basketball senior Sherwood Brown would be an understatement. Over the nine-game month, Brown became the third player in program history to hit the 1,000 career point plateau, but topped that by becoming the first player in the 11-year FGCU history to record four consecutive double-doubles. Brown hit the 1,000-point mark in style, scoring a career-high 29 points on 11-of-17 from the field while adding 10 rebounds against Northern Kentucky to cap the four straight games with a double-double.

Also along the way, he scored 20 points in three straight games and became the first multiple A-Sun Player of the Week this season. Brown’s huge month has set him up to become FGCU’s first player and the fourth current A-Sun player with 1,000 points and 500 rebounds.


Adam Pegg – Stetson Men's Basketball
Pegg had an exemplary month of January, both on and off the court.

On the hardwood, he led the Hatters to a 6-2 start to Atlantic Sun play, Stetson's best record through eight games of league play since the 1998-99 campaign.  The center averaged 17.7 points per game on 55.4 percent shooting during the month.  He scored in double figures in each of the nine games.
Pegg added a team-best 6.8 rebounds per game in January, tallying back-to-back double-doubles vs. Lipscomb and Florida Gulf Coast.

The senior also received accolades for his work in the classroom in January.  Thanks to his stellar academic achievements, including a 3.39 GPA, the integrative health science major was named one of just five student-athletes to the Capitol One Academic All-District 4 Team on Jan. 31.
