SAN BRUNO, Calif. --- 12 University of Portland student-athletes were named to the 2010 West Coast Conference Spring All-Academic teams, released today. The WCC All-Academic teams honor some of the league’s finest examples of the consummate scholar-athlete.
The Pilots baseball team led the way with five honorees. Three came from the UP women’s tennis team, while the women’s golf team and the men’s tennis team each had two student-athletes honored.
At the completion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each of the participating sponsored sports. To be considered, a student-athlete must earn at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to his or her team.
“The West Coast Conference is proud to honor these extraordinary student-athletes who prove that athletic success can be achieved without compromising academic excellence,” said WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovch. “These nominees personify the core values of our member institutions and they should all be congratulated for their efforts.”
