Bio

2017-2018 Athlete of the Year

Having reached tremendous heights as a member of the Cowley College men's soccer team, Hawker proved he is no slouch in the classroom either as he was recently named Cowley College's April Student of the Month.

Hawker was named a first-team all-conference and all-region forward and the Jayhawk East Offensive Player of the Year during each of his two seasons as a member of the Tiger soccer team. He led Cowley with 21 goals and 47 points scored during the 2017 season and finished his career as Cowley's all-time leader in goals scored in a season (21), goals scored in a career (37), points scored in a season (47), and points scored in a career (84).

He helped the Tiger soccer team win 19 games over the past two years and achieve a pair of second place finishes in the Jayhawk Conference Eastern Division.

Hawker was previously named Cowley College's September 2017 Athlete of the Month and was selected to the Academic All-American list.

Along with soccer, he is a resident assistant in the Cowley dorms and is a member of the President's Honor Roll with a 3.79 grade point average. He recently signed to continue his soccer career with NCAA Division I University of North Florida.

Hawker was proud to be recognized as the Male Athlete of the Year.

"It is a great honor because there are a number of great athletes at Cowley," Hawker said.
