Two of the University of Wisconsin’s exceptional student-athletes have received the Big Ten Conference’s highest distinction. Senior swimmer Beata Nelson<\/strong> and track and field athlete Zach Lorbeck<\/strong> were named Wednesday as Wisconsin’s recipients of the Big Ten Medal of Honor.<\/p>\n

The awards were presented as part of the 2020 Buckinghams, UW Athletics’ annual awards show and student-athlete showcase. This year’s Buckinghams were presented online live via YouTube and social media.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More Big Ten coverage<\/a><\/p>\n

The conference’s most prestigious award, the Big Ten Medal of Honor was first awarded in 1915 to one student-athlete from the graduating class of each university who had “attained the greatest proficiency in athletics and scholastic work.”<\/p>\n

The conference’s exclusive award was the first of its kind in intercollegiate athletics to recognize academic and athletic excellence. Only one male and one female student-athlete now receive this award per Big Ten institution.<\/p>\n

<\/center>Beata Nelson, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, is one of the best backstrokers in college swimming. She is a three-time NCAA champion, seven-time All-American, six-time honorable mention All-American, nine-time Big Ten champion and holds the collegiate, U.S. Open and American record in the 100-yard backstroke (49.18).<\/p>\n

Nelson is the only woman to break 50 seconds in the 100 backstroke six times and holds the NCAA record in the 200-yard backstroke (1:47.24). She was named 2019 CSCAA Women’s Swimmer of the Year after winning three individual national titles (100 back, 200 back, 200 IM).<\/p>\n

Nelson is Wisconsin’s school record-holder in the 100 back, 200 back, 100 fly and 200 IM, as well as holding Big Ten records in the 100 back (49.18), 200 back (1:47.24) and 200 IM (1:50.79). She was also the 2019 Big Ten Swimmer of the Year, Big Ten Swimmer of the Championship and All-Big Ten First Team. Academically, Nelson earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2018, 2019 and 2020, volunteers for Badgers Give Back and served as the Vice President of the 2019-20 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Beata Nelson graduated last week with a degree in psychology and will be pursuing a career as a professional athlete and aiming for a spot on the U.S. national team.<\/p>\n

Lorbeck, hailing from Green Bay, Wis., won the 2020 Big Ten Indoor title in the heptathlon, scoring a personal best 5,833 points. He also finished second in the open long jump.<\/p>\n
