Track and Field standout Geoffrey King has been awarded the 2006 Ron Paulsen Memorial Grant.
King is a senior from Fort Wayne, Indiana and is a Youth Ministry major. Captain of the track and field team, King was a national champion in the 100m and 200m in 2006 and was a multiple-time NAIA and NCCAA All-American.
Off the track he is very active in leadership of campus student life and in the Bethel Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle.
"Geoff is a tremendous young man and is quite deserving of this honor," said track head coach Tony Natali. "He is good student in the classroom, has been a superior athlete on the track, but most importantly, is a great witness for the kingdom. He is a spiritual leader not only on our track team but on Bethel's campus as a whole."
The Paulsen award is the Bethel College Athletic Department’s top award and honors Ron D. Paulsen, a Bethel student athlete who was killed in an automobile accident in 1972.
