(firmenpresse) - ROCHESTER, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers has been selected as the Hickok Belt Award winner for the month of January 2013. Voting was conducted by a select panel of members of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NSSA).

His performance in those two games included 496 yards passing and 3 TDs. In addition, Kaepernick put on an amazing display on the ground, rushing for 181 yards and 2 TDs in the victory over Green Bay on January 12.
Other finalists for the month of January, in order of how the NSSA voters ranked them, were: Joe Flacco (football), Novak Djokovic (tennis), Tiger Woods (golf), LeBron James (basketball), Carmelo Anthony (basketball), Victoria Azarenka (tennis), Marcel Hirscher (skiing), Tina Maze (skiing) and Parker Boh (bowling).
Kaepernick's selection as the Hickok Belt Award winner for January 2013 not only recognizes him as "the best of the best" in professional sports for the month, it also makes him the first candidate eligible to receive the 2013 overall award. He will be joined by other finalists throughout the year based on NSSA voting.
Meanwhile, details for the award ceremony to announce the overall 2012 Hickok Belt Award winner -- the first winner in over 36 years -- are being planned and event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
