The Thomas M. Jardine '84 Lacrosse Award

This award was started in 2006 by Thomas and Lisa Jardine. The Deed of Gift is below:

"This award is given in recognition of Thomas M. Jardine, Class of 1984, a one-year senior and the recipient of the Joseph T. Gifford Most Valuable Player Award for the 1984 season. Given yearly to a boy and a girl at the end of their upper year who possess those qualities that make a difference to the culture, the spirit and the success of the team.
Each spring a boy and a girl will be selected by their coaches to receive this award. The recipients should have the potential to be major impact players in their senior year. The recipients should also be players who, in the opinion of their coaches and teammates, possess the same qualities of unselfishness, hard work, and dedication as exhibited by Tom Jardine during his high school and college lacrosse career."

Tom Jardine started his lacrosse career in 1973 while in second grade on the Moses Brown fields in Providence, RI. He continued to play and spent three years playing at LaSalle Academy before coming to Exeter for a PG year in 1983-1984.

The 1984 lacrosse team finished the season with a record of 8-6. Tom scored 64 pts (at that time that was actually a lot of points!!), made the East/West all-star team and joined Coach Bergofsky (as coach of the North squad) in Baltimore to play in the North/South national high school all-star game.

Tom then spent 4 years at Brown University playing lacrosse and rugby.

He then shuttled off to NYC to work at Merrill Lynch and met his lovely wife Lisa his first day on the job!

After a whirl-wind tour, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Tom wound up back in New York with his wife and four children, Thomas, Hayden, Sophie and Annie. While in Chicago, Tom earned an MBA from The University of Chicago.

Tom is now an equity salesman for Bear Stearns and lives in Westchester NY with his wife Lisa and four children Thomas, Hayden, Sophie & Annie. See picture below.
