BEREA, OHIO --
 Baldwin-Wallace College announces that senior track and field All-Americans Kevin Phipps (Patsakala/ Watkins Memorial) and Kim Chinn (Zanesville/ West Muskingum) as its 2010-11 Outstanding Senior Male and Female Athlete, respectively, and senior soccer standout Jeff Grater (Stow/Stow-Munroe Falls) and senior softball Academic All-American Tanya Davis (Hinckley/ Medina Highland) as its Clyde Lamb Award winners, respectively.

Phipps is the Kenneth Steingass Most Outstanding Senior Male Athlete and Chinn is the Outstanding Female Athlete. Grater is the male Clyde Lamb Award winner and Davis is the female Clyde Lamb Award. The Clyde Lamb Award is annually given by the Ohio Athletic Conference to an outstanding male and female student-athlete at each of the 10 member institutions -- it is the highest honor a student-athlete in the OAC can receive.

Grater, who carries a 3.93 grade point average in business and finance and is completing B-W's 3/2 Master's of Business Administration program next year, was a three-year standout on the men's soccer team.  Following his transfer from Calvin (Mich.) College after his freshman season, he earned three varsity letters at B-W and his career culminated in his being named as the 2010 OAC Midfielder of the Year. Grater is a two-time Academic All-OAC and two-time CAPITAL ONE Academic All-District IV student-athlete. He additionally was a 2-time first-team All-OAC choice and 2-time All-Great Lakes Region pick.
