The Atlantic East Conference and Commissioner Jessica Huntley announced five recipients with the Medal of Inspiration, Justin Klemick, a senior outfielder on the Immaculata Baseball team was named one of the five recipients. 
 
The Medal of Inspiration, an award created to honor individuals that battled through adversity to become stronger versions of themselves, was awarded to individuals who handled their battles with resilience and grace. More on the honor here.

Justin took a step away from the baseball program in the 2022 season when he sadly lost his father. Despite his loss, he was able to maintain excellent grades and persevere in the classroom. He never lost his love for the game, but had to focus on his family and academics for the time being. Although he could have been nervous to come back to the team after a year off (and with a new coach) he did it anyway, and certainly proved himself as a valuable player to the team. 
 
Justin is not only a great athlete and student, but he is an amazing mentor and leader. Justin capped off his career at Immaculata with an impressive season on the field with the Atlantic East Baseball Champion Mighty Macs. In 2023, he started in 32 games and made appearances in 38. He collected a fielding percentage of .97, while batting .293 from the plate on 36 hits, 28 runs scored, and 22 runs batted in.  
 
Justin completed his degree landing on the Academic All Conference team with a 3.83 GPA. Throughout his time at Immaculata he went out of his way to say hi to professors, coaches and staff on campus. He is professional, dedicated and holds high morals. He values relationships and treats everyone he meets with respect.
