A senior on the baseball team, Clow was named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List for college baseball's top catcher. Clow, who was a First Team All-Northeast Conference selection a year ago, ranks second on the team with a .360 batting average, good for fourth in the conference.

The Sheridan Award, which is also voted on by the Mount athletic department, is for the college student-athlete, who, through athletic and academic achievement, has exemplified the spirit and dedication demanded by intercollegiate athletics, and who, through such activity has fostered the ideals of Monsignor John L. Sheridan and Mount St. Mary's University.
