Krasich
-- All-Academic Women's Cross Country Individual Honoree |
Individual award winners are
required to earn all-region
honors in cross country and
maintain at least a 3.5
grade point average over the
defined term of the award.
Krasich, who qualified for
the NCAA Division III
Women's Cross Country
National Championships,
became the first Engineer to
earn all-academic honors in
consecutive years.
Repking became the first
men's cross country runner
in more than a decade to
receive the honor.
“This award is a tribute to
the dedication of our cross
country team, both in the
classroom and in
competition. Few
student-athletes across the
nation have the academic
challenges and opportunities
that Rose-Hulman provides.
Individually, Rachel and
Matt define
the virtues of the
true student-athlete and are extremely deserving of this
award,”
said head coach Larry Cole. |
