Jason Thresher, a Suffield High graduate and a 2010 graduate of Bryant University, was inducted into the Bryant University Athletics Hall of Fame which “honors any alumnus who has attained outstanding recognition or superior accomplishments in any varsity sport.”
The former Bryant University standout was the Northeast Conference Player-of-the-Year as a senior in 2010. According to the school’s website, “Thresher is considered by many as the one of the most prolific players in school history. Thresher helped lead Bryant in its transition from Division II to Division I and immediately found success. Named the 2009-10 Northeast Conference Golfer of the Year, Thresher was a five-time NEC Golfer of the Week – the most in conference history in a single season. He was named an All-New England and PING Division I All-Region selection as both a junior and a senior. As a junior, competing in Bryant’s first NEC Championship, Thresher finished second overall individually, then finishing fourth as a senior in 2010. In total, he won eight career individual medalist honors (first in tournament), earned 15 top-3 finishes and posted 27 top-10 finishes.”
More recently, Thresher, as a Crestview Country Club member, won the 108th Massachusetts Open in June of 2017, to become the first golfer representing a Western Massachusetts golf club to win the Open two years in a row. Congratulations to Jason on his continuing success.
