The Chris Street Award, named in honor of former Hawkeye Chris Street, is presented annually to "A Hawkeye player who best exemplifies the spirit, enthusiasm and intensity of Chris Street."

Street died in an auto accident January 19, 1993, 15 games into his junior season as an Iowa Hawkeye.

His hustle, blue-collar work ethic and enthusiasm on the basketball floor quickly made him a crowd favorite in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. How appropriate for Chris to wear No. 40. No one in the country played 40 minutes of basketball harder than he did.

Chris was on target to become Iowa's all-time leading rebounder and a 1,000-point club scorer. Chris made the last 34 free throws he attempted over a six-game period, setting a school record for consecutive free throws. Chris was named CBS-TV's Player of the Game at Duke in his last game with the Hawkeyes, when he set the free throw record.
