HAUTE, IND.
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology junior Thomas Reives
(Indianapolis/Arsenal Tech) has earned second-team ESPN The
Magazine Academic All-American honors in results released by the
College Sports Information Directors of America.
Reives
becomes the 68th Academic All-American in the history of
intercollegiate athletics at Rose-Hulman. He also claims the
first Engineer track and field All-American award since 2000 and the
seventh in program history.
The
latest award also marks 2007 as the
22nd consecutive year
that at least one Engineer student-athlete has been named an
Academic All-American.
Reives
has earned conference championships in the Southern Collegiate
Athletic Conference and the Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference, while finishing 13th nationally in the NCAA Division III
high jump during the indoor regular season. His career-best
high jump effort of 6' 7 1/2" missed qualifying for the indoor
nationals by less than 1/2 inch.
The
mechanical engineering major earned the high jump title in the SCAC
in 2006 and the triple jump championship in the HCAC in 2007.
He also holds the indoor school record in the 60-meter dash (7.20
seconds) and ranks third all-time in the high jump both indoors and
outdoors.
In the
classroom, Reives maintains a 3.97 grade point average in mechanical
engineering. He is a member of the Tau Beta Pi engineering
honor society and the Alpha Lambda Delta honorary fraternity.
He also serves as vice-president for the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
Earlier
in the year, Reives earned ESPN The Magazine academic all-district
honors as a punter and wide receiver for the Rose-Hulman football
team. |
