Students win sports writing Hearst awards

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Two University of Kansas students placed in the top 10 in sports writing for the William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s Journalism Awards Program.

Thor Nystrom, a Baxter, Minn., senior, placed third and won $1,000 in the competitions. Brian Lewis-Jones, a Lenexa senior, placed seventh and won $500.

Nystrom won for his article on ticket-scalping, which ran in The Kansan in Spring 2008. Lewis-Jones won for a feature article on cage fighting, which ran in Fall 2007.

The awards, often called the College Pulitzers, put the School of Journalism in first place in the Intercollegiate Writing Competition.
