Jack Borski (Madison) and Holly Ozanich (Green Bay) were recognized for their success both on and off the field when they received the 2011 John Taylor Scholar-Athlete Award at the UW-Oshkosh Hall of Fame & Senior Awards Banquet on Sunday (May 1).

The John Taylor Scholar-Athlete Award is presented annually to outstanding male and female senior letter winners who own a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher. The award reflects not only individual athletic achievements, but also the ideals of team contribution, scholastic endeavor and school and community involvement.

Borski has a 3.79 cumulative grade point average as a geology major. The four-year letter winner received NCAA Division III All-America third team honors last fall after helping UW-Oshkosh to a 20-1-3 record and a third-place national finish. The 2010 WIAC Men's Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year was a second team selection on the 2010 ESPN Academic All-America College Division Men's Soccer Team.

Borski, a defender, compiled one assist this season during a 1-0 victory over The College of St. Scholastica (Minn.). In 2009, he totaled one goal (game-winner) and three assists for five points. His freshman and sophomore campaigns included a total of seven assists. A starter in 72 of his 73 career games, Borski finished with one goal and 11 assists for 13 points.

A four-time NCAA Division III champion, Ozanich is a four-year letter winner in both indoor and outdoor track and field. She was a crucial component of the Titans’ indoor national title in 2011, second-place showing in 2010 and third-place result in 2009. Outdoors, Ozanich helped UW-Oshkosh to second-place national finishes in 2009 and 2010.

Ozanich, who won NCAA Division III titles in the 20-pound weight throw (2010 & 2011 indoor), shot put (2011 indoor) and hammer throw (2010 outdoor), owns a 3.611 cumulative grade point average as a biology major. She is a five-time indoor and outdoor event champion.

UW-Oshkosh created the John Taylor Scholar-Athlete award in 1976. Since then, it has rewarded 36 men and 31 women for their excellence.

UW-Oshkosh looks for its first title since 2006 as it brings a #2 national ranking to the WIAC Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship on Friday and Saturday (May 6-7) in Platteville. This occurrence is the 40th edition of the women’s championship.

Amy Cayemberg, a former All-America performer in both volleyball and track and field at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, died Monday (Dec. 6) of head injuries she sustained in a two-car accident two days earlier.

According to Calumet County (Wis.) police reports, the 40-year-old Cayemberg was a passenger in a car that collided with another vehicle at the intersection of U.S. 10 and Wisconsin 57 near Forest Junction. She was pronounced brain-dead and removed from life support at Theda Clark Medical Center in Neenah, where she was flown after the crash.

Following graduation from Manitowoc Lincoln High School, Cayemberg enrolled at UW-Oshkosh through the recruiting efforts of former head women’s volleyball coach Marty Petersen. Cayemberg went on to play volleyball for Petersen from 1988 to 1991 and participate in track and field for former UW-Oshkosh head coach Deb Vercauteren in 1989 and from 1991 to 1993.

In volleyball, Cayemberg gained All-America mention in three of her four seasons, including the 1991 campaign when she helped the Titans to a 42-8 record, the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) championship and a visit to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Final Four. Cayemberg become the school’s first three-time women’s volleyball All-America selection that season after recording a .467 hitting percentage with 651 kills and 86 solo blocks.

Cayemberg helped UW-Oshkosh to a 41-20 record in 1988 and a third-place finish in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) District 14 Playoffs. In 1989, Cayemberg helped the Titans to a 39-16 record and the NAIA District 14 title. She collected second-team honors on the 1989 NAIA All-America squad after hitting .380 with 551 kills, 82 service aces and 62 solo blocks.

In 1990, UW-Oshkosh posted a 44-5 record, captured the WIAC title and finished ninth in the NCAA Division III Championship. Cayemberg received NCAA Division III All-America accolades that year after hitting .370 with 645 kills, 421 digs, 47 service aces and 36 solo blocks.

Cayemberg currently ranks first in WIAC history with 2,292 career kills and second with a .387 career hitting percentage.
