Reilly Cox Wins Sophie Kerr Prize

WESTMINSTER, Md. (WJZ) -- A 22-year-old from Westminster has won the nation's largest undergraduate literary award!

Reilly Cox, a double major in English and theater at Washington College accepted the Sophie Kerr Prize Friday night.

He actually began college as a chemistry major but his passion for literature turned him toward a different direction---and it's a good thing, too, because the award is worth more than $65,000.
