MY BOY’S WICKED SMAHT! “How do you like them apples?” Ohio State men’s lacrosse alumnus Trent DiCicco said to all Big Ten athletes (apart from Michigan State’s Ashley Harlock) after winning the 2024 Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award.
(I can neither confirm nor deny if DiCicco said those words. However, I can confirm that Good Will Hunting is the greatest movie of all time).
Last week, DiCicco won the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award and was awarded a $10,000 scholarship for his academic, athletic, extracurricular and leadership achievements as a member of Ohio State’s lacrosse program.
"Trent has been a terrific representation of what it means to be a student-athlete at Ohio State," Kaitlin Davis, assistant director of athletic academic services, said in a statement. "He kept dedicated to his academic goals while being a leader for his teammates. He is a special person and I could not think of a better Buckeye to win this award for our program and this university."
DiCicco was a four-year letterwinner and captain of the Ohio State men's lacrosse team. In 47 appearances for the Buckeyes, the Guelph, Ontario, native collected 17 points on 10 goals and seven assists, 88 ground balls, and 10 forced turnovers. DiCicco was also a member of Team Canada’s youth program during his college career and won a silver medal at the U21 World Championships in Limerick, Ireland in 2022.
A two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, DiCicco majored in mechanical engineering with a minor in robotics and autonomous systems, posting a 3.94 overall grade-point average. DiCicco also participated in research projects focusing on human movement biomechanics applied to law enforcement and athletes and a multidisciplinary project related to optimizing human performance, injury prevention and rapid rehabilitation.
