54 NAMED TO IOWA CONFERENCE ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM

MOUNT VERNON, IA . . .  The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced today its All-Academic Team for the winter 2001-02 season.  Fifty-four student-athletes from five winter sports met the requirements for recognition.  To be eligible for All-Academic Team honors, a student-athlete must participate at the varsity level, be a junior or senior in academic standing and attain a 3.5 or better grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).

“The institutions in the Iowa Conference take tremendous pride in the overall development of young men and women, this includes the classroom as well as athletic competition,” IIAC Commissioner John Cochrane said.  “The Iowa Conference commends these individuals for their achievements in and out of the classroom and wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.”

The 2001-02 winter All-Academic Team is comprised of 27 seniors and 27 juniors.  Luther College has a Conference-high 14 student-athletes on the Team followed by Buena Vista University (9 student-athletes), Cornell (6 student-athletes) and Loras (6 student-athletes).  As far as a breakdown of the All-Academic Team by sport, 22 women’s basketball players received All-Academic recognition followed by men’s basketball (12), women’s swimming (9), wrestling (6) and men’s swimming (5).

Five members of the 2001-02 Winter All-Academic Team earned similar honors during the fall season – Buena Vista’s Allison Schultz (tennis/ basketball), Central College’s Terri Paustian (soccer/basketball), Cornell’s Eric Sudol (football/basketball), Luther’s Rachel Horstmann (tennis/ swimming) and Upper Iowa’s Lois Riordan (tennis/basketball).
