"Being able to hold over a 3.5, and in the cases of Rachel, Kaylee, Ben, Anna H. and Jarod a 4.0, combined with the athletic requirements for this award, is something that we strive for every individual on this team to achieve. I'm also very proud that this group led the AAC in number of individuals selected on both sides, and I can't wait for this team to continue our tradition of academic and athletic success next season."
The award recognizes students who achieved a grade point average of 3.50 or higher and were invited to compete at their respective national championship. Selections were drawn from 209 colleges and universities.
