Defender Jimmy Conrad up for U.S. National Team Performance of the Year


Wizards defender and captain Jimmy Conrad is one of eight U.S. National Team members up for 2008 Performance of the Year. Conrad faces fellow men's national team members, women's national team members and men's U-20 players for the award. Conrad was nominated for his standout performance February 7 against Mexico.


Jimmy Conrad vs. Mexico - Feb. 7 @ Glendale, Ariz.


With a home winning streak against Mexico on the line, defender Jimmy Conrad played one of the best games of his national team career in front of 62,000 fans in Arizona. While acting as the general along the backline to shutout the USA's archrival for the eighth straight time on home soil, Conrad also tallied the game-winner with a driven header on a corner kick for his first-ever goal for the national team.
